The Short Range HDMI over Two Cat5 Extender kit is an ideal solution for extending HDMI audio/video signals up to 160 feet.
This solution requires the use of two Cat5 patch cables.
Auto equalization makes installation easy regardless of the length of the Cat5 patch cables used.
Simply make the HDMI and Cat5 cable connections and the transmitter and receiver will automatically adjust to optimize the video for the length of cable used.
EDID pass through is supported to ensure that content is sent at the optimal resolution for the display.
HDCP is supported, allowing protected content to be passed through this extension solution.
The maximum resolution supported will vary depending upon the type and length of the Cat5 patch cable.
Maximum video resolution extension distance:
- Cat6 - 1080i - 160ft
- Cat6 -1080p - 130ft
- Cat5e (solid conductor) - 1080i - 160ft
- Cat5e (solid conductor) -1080p - 65ft
- Cat5e (stranded conductor) -1080i - 130ft
- Cat5e (stranded conductor) -1080p - 50ft
Note: This solution includes one power adapter which must be connected to the
receiver for proper operation. The transmitter is designed to draw power from the HDMI source device. Some HDMI source devices are unable to output the power required for the transmitter to function which results in no image being displayed. In those instances, an HDMI Voltage Inserter SV-42223a or SV-42236a may be required.
