Extend 4K 60Hz signals over Cat5e or Cat6

This kit transmits HDMI 2.0 video up to 70 metres using affordable Cat5e or Cat6 cable. It supports 4K 60Hz with 4:4:4 chroma for clear, stable output. Zero latency preserves real-time interaction for control rooms and presentations.

Power-over-Cable and IR extension

Connect power to either unit to feed both via PoC, cutting the need for extra outlets at the display. The IR blaster and receiver let you control the source from the remote room. This keeps installations tidy and functional across longer runs.

Flexible mounting and durable metal build

The metal housings include a mounting kit for walls, ceilings, or under-desk placement. Rubber feet protect surfaces and dampen vibration where units sit freely. LED indicators provide quick status checks during commissioning.
