Frequently Asked Questions
What cable type is required for this extender system?
The DL-1H1V-WPKT-H2 requires CAT6 or higher category twisted pair cable for optimal performance. For maximum distance capability—230 feet at 1080p or 131 feet at 4K—it's recommended to use high-quality CAT6 or CAT6a cable. The system leverages HDBaseT technology to transmit both video signals and power over this single cable connection, dramatically simplifying installation compared to traditional HDMI extension methods.
How does the automatic source switch feature work?
The DL-1H1V-WPKT-H2 features intelligent automatic switching that detects active video sources on both HDMI and VGA inputs. When a laptop or other device is connected and powered on, the system automatically selects that input for transmission to the display. Users can also manually switch between sources using a convenient push button located on the wall plate, providing flexibility for various presentation scenarios without requiring separate control systems.
Can this system work with legacy VGA sources alongside modern HDMI devices?
Yes, the DL-1H1V-WPKT-H2 is specifically designed to accommodate both legacy VGA and modern HDMI sources simultaneously. This dual-input capability makes it ideal for educational institutions and corporate environments where older laptops with VGA outputs still coexist with newer HDMI-equipped devices. The system seamlessly handles switching between these different source types, ensuring compatibility across diverse equipment inventories.
Does the wall plate require a separate power connection?
No separate power connection is required at the wall plate location. The DL-1H1V-WPKT-H2 utilizes Power over HDBaseT technology, where the receiver unit powers the wall plate transmitter through the same CAT6 cable that carries the video signals. The receiver connects to a standard power outlet using the included power supply, making installation cleaner and eliminating the need for electrical work at the wall plate location.
