Question 5

What is included in the WP-EXTHDTC50 package?

Accepted Answer

The kit ships with one 18Gbps CAT 50M USB-C/HDMI wall plate transmitter, one 50M extender receiver, one 12V/1A power supply with international plugs, and a user manual.

What wall opening does the transmitter fit and what faceplate options are available?

Accepted Answer

The transmitter is housed in a US one-gang enclosure for Decora-style wall plate openings and is available with interchangeable white and black faceplates.

Question 7

There is no video on the display. What is the first troubleshooting step?

Accepted Answer

Verify all cables are securely connected, use CAT6 or better and avoid patch cables and couplers, then power cycle the source and the display.

Question 8

Signal drops after switching between HDMI and USB-C. What causes this?

Accepted Answer

This is typically an EDID mismatch or handshake failure. Reconnect the CAT cable at both ends and power cycle the source device.

Question 9

Why choose the WP-EXTHDTC50 for a classroom or conference room?

Accepted Answer

It puts a single wall plate at the podium or table that accepts either a USB-C MacBook or an HDMI laptop, extends 4K/60Hz signal over standard CAT5e/6 cabling, and removes the need for a local outlet at the wall plate since the transmitter is powered by POC from the receiver.

Question 10

What makes the WP-EXTHDTC50 suitable for BYOD environments?

Accepted Answer

Auto-switching between HDMI and USB-C inputs plus a USB-C charging port on the transmitter let presenters connect with whichever cable they have without manual reconfiguration.
