The HDMI over Cat6 Extender is a robust solution that extends your HDMI signal up to 50m (164 ft) over 1 Cat6 UTP patch cables. Driving an HDMI signal over Cat6 allows you to take advantage of your Cat6 cable infrastructure already installed for a cost-effective and reliable in-wall installation. Use where plenum rated cable is required to keep cost down.
Specifications:
Easy installation with 6 Ethernet cable
Extend HDMI signal (10.2Gbps) transmissions up to 30m (99 ft) at full HD 1080P, 50m (164 ft) at 1080i
Useful where only PLENUM in-wall wiring is permitted
Micro USB for Power
Resolution: 1080p/1080i/720p/576p/480p/576i/480i
Use Cat.6 cable (not included)
HDMI output cable length: max 15m (45 ft)
Optional Power supply for use with unpowered HDMI ports.
Distance:
50m (164 ft) for 1080i (Cat6)
For best results use Cat6 cabling no shorter than 50ft.
A: A balun is a small transformer which converts an audio or video signal from unbalanced to balanced and vice versa (hence the term 'bal*un'). By doing so baluns make the necessary impedance adjustment for audio-visual signal transmission between different wiring systems
Q: Why use a Balun?
A: Sending your audio video and data signals over a Cat5e or Cat6 gives you three big advantages. The first one is that it allows you to carry your signal over an extremely long distance overcoming distance limits of some technologies. The second advantage is that it saves you money. Cat5e/6 is affordable especially in plenum rated spaces which is why it’s the cable of choice for media extension. Thirdly Cat5e/6 cable is easier to run in small conduit and tight in-wall installations.
Q: What is the picture quality when using a balun?
A: The picture will be the as good as the source signal. Baluns are designed to maintain signal quality.
Q: Do I need any special tools to install a balun system?
A: No all of our baluns are plug-and-play. Simply connect both baluns to your equipment and run the cable.
