Introduction
The HDMI 18Gbps Extender can extend high definition video / audio signal and one-way IR, and the distance is up to 164ft / 50 meters between transmitter and receiver over a single Cat5e/6 cable. It supports resolution up to 4K2K@60Hz 4:4:4, 18Gbps, and HDCP 2.2. In addition, the extender is equipped with a one-way IR pass-through which allows for source control and one HDMI loop output.
The extender includes two units: transmitter unit and receiver unit. The transmitter unit is responsible for capturing HDMI input signal and carries the signal via one cost-effective Cat6 cable, and emitting IR control signals. The receiver unit is responsible for receiving the HDMI signal and transmitting the IR control signal.
The extender offers the most convenient solution for HDMI extension over a single Cat5e/6 with long-distance capability and is the perfect solution for any application.
