HDMI Extender Over CAT5e / CAT6
Extend your 1080p HDMI Signals up to 25m using dual Cat5 or Cat6 cables Supporting 1080p Video and Dolby Digital Audio up to 25m when using quality CAT6 cables (20m with CAT5e), this passive HDMI Extender offers a flexible way to wire up HDMI connections over existing Ethernet wiring without using bulky HDMI cables! 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 abillity 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. HDMI Extender Features Compatible with HDTV resolutions 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i & 1080p Fully HDCP compliant Plug and play, for easy installation Fully tested using our high quality Cat6 cables (sold separately) - lower quality network cables limit the maximum run length.

Tech tip: Coiled CAT Cables Cause Crosstalk. If you're seeing visual artefacts or flickering when using long cables, try running them out as any coils can introduce interference.

Notice for Installing Cables within Wall & Ceiling Cavities: If you are planing on installing any cable inside a permanent fixture (ie: Wall or Ceiling), Cable Chick strongly recommends that you connect and test the cable prior to installation. By following this simple practice you can ensure compatibility and correct operation of all connected equipment before the cable is permanently installed.
