Lightware WP-UMX-TPS-TX120-US White UMX Series TPS (HDBaseTTM) Wallplate for VGA and HDMI - 91540041

Product Overview

The Lightware WP-UMX-TPS-TX120-US (White) is a US-format HDBaseT wallplate transmitter that accepts VGA and HDMI sources at the wall and transmits them over a single CATx cable to a compatible TPS/HDBaseT receiver at distances up to 100 meters. Part of Lightware's UMX Series, it integrates into standard US single-gang wall boxes and provides a clean, fixed-installation connection point for conference room tables, lecterns, and wall panels. The unit handles EDID management, HDCP 1.4, and audio embedding, and connects directly to Lightware UMX matrix switchers or standalone TPS receivers without an intermediate transmitter box. The white finish coordinates with standard North American electrical faceplates in corporate and educational environments.

Product Description

The WP-UMX-TPS-TX120-US accepts a VGA signal with 3.5 mm analog audio and an HDMI signal, allowing presenters to connect either a legacy VGA laptop or a modern HDMI device at the wall. The selected signal is then transmitted over Cat5e/Cat6 structured cabling via Lightware's TPS (Twisted Pair Signal) protocol, which is fully compliant with the HDBaseT standard. Maximum transmission distance is 100 meters for 1080p signals over Cat6. The wallplate is powered directly from the UMX matrix switcher or TPS receiver over the CATx cable — no local power supply is required at the wallplate location. EDID is managed from the connected matrix or receiver, ensuring source devices output at the correct resolution. RS-232 and IR signals can also be transmitted over the same CATx cable for control system extension. The white finish is a US single-gang form factor compatible with standard US electrical boxes and Decora-style faceplates.

Key Features

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the WP-UMX-TPS-TX120-US require a local power supply at the wall?

No. The wallplate is powered remotely over the Cat5e/Cat6 cable from the connected Lightware UMX matrix switcher or TPS receiver. No outlet or local power adapter is needed at the installation point.

What cable category is required for 100-meter transmission?

Cat6 UTP or STP is recommended for maximum 100-meter transmission at 1080p60. Cat5e can be used for shorter runs. Shielded cabling (STP/FTP) is recommended in electrically noisy environments.

Can this wallplate be used with non-Lightware HDBaseT receivers?

The WP-UMX-TPS-TX120-US uses Lightware's TPS protocol, which is compliant with the HDBaseT standard. Interoperability with third-party HDBaseT receivers is generally achievable but should be verified on a project-specific basis. Full functionality (power, RS-232, IR) is guaranteed with Lightware UMX system components.

What is the difference between the white and black versions?

The WP-UMX-TPS-TX120-US (White) and (Black) are functionally identical. The only difference is the faceplate color. Choose white for environments with white or light-colored furniture and walls; choose black for darker AV furniture or rack surrounds. Both use the same US single-gang wall box format.

Can I use both VGA and HDMI inputs simultaneously?

The wallplate has two inputs but transmits one selected signal over the TPS cable. Input switching is controlled by the connected UMX matrix or receiver. Auto-switching based on active source detection may be available depending on the connected system configuration.

Does the wallplate carry audio from HDMI sources as well as VGA?

Yes. HDMI-embedded audio is carried over the TPS link from the HDMI input. The 3.5 mm analog audio input is provided specifically for VGA sources that carry audio separately.

Where can I order the white WP-UMX-TPS-TX120-US?

The Lightware WP-UMX-TPS-TX120-US in white is available at creationnetworks.net. The black version is also stocked. Contact Creation Networks for project quantities and system design support.
