HDMI Extender Over CAT5e/6. One transmitter module plugs directly into the HDMI source device, such as a Blu-ray player, PC or games console, then 2 x Cat6 cables run to the receiver unit, which plugs straight into the HDMI display – such as a TV, Monitor or Projector). Both network cables are required, and must be connected directly (they can’t go through a network switch or patch panel).

Benefits over a single HDMI cable include the ability to work with existing network cables, and the ability to run networks cables through smaller spaces or conduit that long HDMI cables can’t fit into. This passive extender can’t go as far as our top of the line model, but gains flexibility of installation by not needing a 240v supply.
