FAQ's

Visit our Help Center for more answers.

[Setup & Switching]What should I check if there is no image, only one display or an abnormal resolution?

First confirm that both red Power indicators are lit and the blue USB Signal indicator is illuminated on both units. Check the host computer's display settings, try extending or mirroring the displays, and verify that the DisplayLink driver is installed and running. Test with a short known-good Cat6a cable to isolate connection issues. If using a Mac, check System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Screen Recording for DisplayLink permission. Restart the computer and extender if needed.

[Compatibility] What computer specs are needed?

Use a Windows, macOS or Linux computer with a certified USB 3.2 Gen 1 or faster USB-A port. The computer connects to the transmitter through one USB Type-A to Type-B cable, and the appropriate DisplayLink driver must be installed for video output.

[Compatibility] What cable should I use, and how far can I extend the workstation?

Use one continuous 23AWG Cat6a or higher S/FTP shielded cable between the transmitter and receiver. The supported extension distance is up to 100 m (328 ft) when the cable and terminations meet the required specification.

[Compatibility] What displays and resolutions are supported?

Connect one or two HDMI displays to the receiver. Each HDMI output supports up to 3840×2160 at 60Hz, and the operating system can arrange the displays as an extended or mirrored desktop. Actual output depends on the host USB port, driver, operating system, displays, HDMI cables and Cat6a link.

[Compatibility] Can I watch HDCP-protected streaming video on macOS through DisplayLink?

Not reliably. When DisplayLink is active on macOS, protected video from services such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and Disney+ may show a black video window because macOS cannot complete the required HDCP check through the DisplayLink path.

[Compatibility] Can the TX-to-RX Cat6a link pass through an Ethernet switch or router?

No. The extension link is a direct point-to-point connection and does not support an intermediate Ethernet switch, router or other active network device. The separate LAN port on the receiver may be connected to a router or switch for host network access.

[Features & Connections] What does HKE10SS-PD25 extend to the remote workstation?

It extends two HDMI display outputs, USB peripherals, audio, network access and hardware-level remote power control from the host side to the receiver over one direct Cat6a link.

[Features & Connections] Which USB devices can I connect at the receiver?

The four USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports support compatible keyboards, mice, flash drives, external storage, printers and other USB 2.0/3.0 peripherals. Bandwidth is shared across the extension link, and high-power devices may need their own adapter or a powered USB hub.

[Features & Connections] How does the receiver LAN port work?

Connect the receiver LAN port to a router or Ethernet switch to provide network access to the connected computer through the extender's USB connection. The computer may detect it as an additional USB Ethernet adapter; this LAN port is separate from the TX-to-RX UTP extension port.

[Features & Connections] How does the 3.5 mm audio and microphone port work?

The receiver's 3.5 mm port provides microphone input and left/right audio output for a compatible headset or audio device. Select the DisplayLink or USB audio device in the operating system's playback and recording settings; a headset with separate plugs may require a suitable TRRS adapter.

[Features & Connections] How does remote power control work?

It reproduces a physical press of the computer's power button and works independently of the operating system, including pre-boot and BIOS states. Connect the included F-PANEL POWER SW splitter between the transmitter's remote-power interface and the motherboard power-switch header according to the motherboard manual.

[Features & Connections] Do both the transmitter and receiver need power?

Yes. Connect one supplied 12V adapter to the transmitter and the other to the receiver. Fully seat the locking 5.5×2.1 mm DC connectors, and use only the supplied adapters or replacements with exactly matching electrical specifications and polarity.

[Features & Connections] What do the red and blue indicators mean?

A red Power indicator confirms that the unit detects its 12V input. A blue USB Signal indicator confirms that the USB handshake has completed. If the blue indicator stays off, check both power adapters, the host USB cable and port, and the direct Cat6a connection.

[Setup & Switching] How do I connect HKE10SS-PD25?

Install the DisplayLink driver, connect the computer to the transmitter with a USB Type-A to Type-B cable, link TX directly to RX with one continuous shielded Cat6a cable, connect one or two HDMI displays and the required USB, audio and LAN devices at the receiver, then power both units with the supplied 12V adapters. Initial testing with a short known-good Cat6a cable is recommended before installing the full cable run.

[Setup & Switching] How do I install and configure DisplayLink?

Download the driver for your operating system from Synaptics, install it, restart if prompted and reconnect the extender. On macOS Catalina 10.15 or later, allow Screen Recording permission for DisplayLink Manager; enabling automatic launch after login is also recommended. Use the operating system display settings to extend, mirror, arrange and scale the displays.
