Technical Specifications

Extend HDMI over Ethernet with Confidence

This extender kit uses a single CAT6/5e cable to move HDMI signals away from the source. You get a local HDMI output on the transmitter, so you can cascade to another extender or feed a local display. Because the metal housing includes built-on brackets, it supports tidy, professional installs. However, rack mounting is not stated in this listing; confirm mounting needs for your cabinet.

Simplify Power and Control

Power over Cable (PoC) means only the transmitter unit needs an AC adapter. The receiver draws power through the Ethernet link. IR extension is supported using the included IR blaster and receiver. So you can control a source device from the remote display location. LED indicators show Link and Power status for quick diagnostics.

4K 30Hz Picture with 7.1 Audio

The unit supports HDMI 1.4 and 4:4:4 chroma subsampling for a clear image. It handles 7.1 channel audio for home cinema or boardroom use. For example, you can run a 4K 30Hz signal to a TV or projector across a single cable. In practice, this suits fixed-rate video playback rather than high-refresh gaming.

Easy Installation and Build Quality

Plug-and-play operation requires no drivers. The compact metal chassis measures 69 mm × 57 mm × 17 mm and weighs 130 g. For UK installs, confirm the AC adapter plug type and that the power input suits your site. Also verify UKCA or CE marking requirements with your compliance team.
