Question 3

How does the USB 2.0 KVM function work on the WP-EXTHDTC70?

Accepted Answer

Connect the source computer's USB port to the USB-B port on the wall plate transmitter. The two USB-A ports on the receiver then extend USB 2.0 peripherals such as keyboard, mouse, and touchscreen back to the source for KVM control.

Question 4

How do I switch between the HDMI and USB-C inputs?

Accepted Answer

Press the SOURCE button on the transmitter to toggle between HDMI and USB-C inputs. In automatic mode, HDMI is prioritized when both are active.

Question 5

What is in the WP-EXTHDTC70 package?

Accepted Answer

The kit ships with one 18Gbps 70M USB-C/HDMI KVM wall plate transmitter, one receiver, and a user manual.

Question 6

What wall opening does the transmitter fit?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 7

There is no video on the display. What should I check?

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 is lost after switching between HDMI and USB-C sources. Why?

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-EXTHDTC70 over a wall plate extender without KVM?

Accepted Answer

It combines HDMI and USB-C source switching with full USB 2.0 KVM extension to the receiver end, letting integrators put keyboard, mouse, or touchscreen control at the display while power reaches the wall plate over the same CAT6/6a/7 cable via POE.

Question 10

What use cases fit the WP-EXTHDTC70 best?

Accepted Answer

BYOD conference rooms where presenters need to connect either a USB-C laptop or an HDMI source, and where the room also needs remote keyboard, mouse, or touchscreen control at the source position via the receiver's KVM ports.
