Tested 100% with all common HDMI sources such as HDPVR, Apple TV Player, Mvix (HDMI Version), Sony Playstation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360, DVD players and Blu-ray Players on the SA market.

HDMI carries 2 channels : TMDS (Video/Audio & sync information) and DDC (5 volt, HDCP information) which are combined on the single port HDMI Extender. More info at HDMI Signal Explained. Due to 100% stability needed on the TMDS channel for sync information CAT5e or CAT6 Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) is required to ensure no sync losses occur. Basically you have one cable on two port HDMI extenders that is highly critical for video integrity and timing where the opposite cable is not as frequency-dependent, handling only the EDID, HDCP, power, hot plug and ground, but on single HDMI extenders only one port is used, hence STP / FTP cables are mandatory.

CAT5e Shielded Twisted Pair Cables at CAT5e Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) 350Mhz ISA/IEC 11801 Cable, CAT7 SSTP Cables at CAT7 SSTP Full Copper Ethernet Cable up to 10Gb/s. CAT5e FTP / STP depending on quality of cable (Full Copper cables) can be installed for resolutions up to 1080p depending on color depth, refresh rates & equipment signal quality, but only recommended up to 720p/1080i. For 1080p transmissions full copper CAT6e FTP / STP or CAT7 SSTP are required.

Please ensure cables are terminated according to 568A or 568B standard as in diagram below depending on CAT5e / CAT6 STP cable type and properly grounded via the ripcord wire inside STP cables onto the shielded RJ45 connector. Grounding the cable will also ensure better protection against voltage spikes. STP cables shields better against nearby EMI.



HDMI devices (any source / player, LCD, Plasma etc) have different results when inserting HDMI Repeater devices depending on the equipment you are using (a repeater device is any switch / splitter / extender etc). Please ensure to get confirmation from the manufacturer of your source / player / LCD that the specific player or LCD can communicate via a HDMI Repeater. Some source devices might not allow any HDMI device between itself and the LCD and will only function via a direct HDMI cable to the LCD. The opposite is also possible where the LCD needs a direct connection to the source / player and will not accept a regenerated signal from a HDMI Repeater device. Your display or source manufacturer can confirm if their product supports the functions required.

Benefits from using this HDMI Extender / Balun :

1. Only single CAT5e / CAT6e STP or FTP cable required
2. CAT5e / CAT6 cabling can fit into smaller areas than HDMI because of the head size of the HDMI cable (From 16 to 19mm) compared to 4-5mm for CAT5e / CAT6 STP Cables.

Features :

● One Sender & One Receiver unit.
● Use CAT-5e / CAT-6 STP / FTP cable to substitute HDMI cable to achieve long distance transmissions.
● Auto-adjustment of feedback, equalization and amplify, the user does not need to care about the length of the cable.
● Compact size.
