Should I use a Cat5e or Cat6 cable for this HDMI extender?

We highly recommend using a pure copper Cat6 cable for the best performance. A high-quality Cat6 cable has better shielding and lower resistance, which is crucial for maintaining a stable 1080p signal when pushing the transmission distance to 50 meters.

Why does the manual say 60m, but you recommend 50m?

While the internal chipset is theoretically capable of reaching 60 meters under perfect laboratory conditions, real-world environments introduce electrical interference and cable resistance. Keeping the distance to 50 meters or less guarantees a stable, flicker-free connection without signal dropouts.

Do both the Transmitter (TX) and Receiver (RX) units need to be plugged into power?

Yes, both the TX and RX units require active power to process and boost the AV signal. You must connect the included DC 5V/1A power adapters to both units for the extender system to function properly.

What does the EDID button on the Transmitter (TX) unit do?

The EDID button allows the extender to communicate the correct display capabilities to your source device. By pressing this button, you can manually switch the EDID profile between standard 2D and 3D modes, ensuring compatibility with your specific monitor or projector.

Full Product Description

Reliable Long-Distance AV Transmission

Extend your high-definition video across large spaces using a single, cost-effective Ethernet cable. Running long, heavy HDMI cables through walls or ceilings is expensive and highly prone to signal dropouts. The HDMI to RJ45 Extender Kit solves this by converting the HDMI signal to run over standard Cat5e or Cat6 network cables. This Transmitter (TX) and Receiver (RX) setup provides a reliable, space-saving solution for datacenter control, information distribution, and corporate training environments.

Uncompromised 1080p & Lossless Audio

Enjoy crystal-clear 1080p resolution at 60Hz with zero loss of visual quality. This extender supports a high data rate of 1.65Gbps and 8/10/12-bit deep color, ensuring your presentations and videos look exactly as intended. It also fully supports premium lossless audio formats, including DTS-HD, Dolby-trueHD, and DSD. The transmitter unit features a dedicated EDID button, allowing you to easily toggle between 2D and 3D display modes to match your monitor's capabilities.

💡 Pro Tip from Our Technicians

"You might notice the user manual states a 60-meter maximum range, but we highly recommend keeping your cable runs under 50 meters for the most stable, flicker-free 1080p experience! Pushing the signal to the absolute limit can cause intermittent dropouts depending on cable quality. Always use a pure copper Cat6 cable rather than a cheaper copper-clad aluminum (CCA) Cat5e cable to minimize signal attenuation. If you are setting up a complex multi-screen display for a restaurant or office and need wiring advice, drop by our Sham Shui Po store! Our team at 新昌電腦有限公司 (Sun Cheong Computer Co. Ltd.) can help you select the right pure copper network cables for a flawless setup."
