HDMI Extender Over Ethernet 200FT 1080P
Product description
Highlights
This HDMI extender transmits high resolution video and audio over a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable up to 200 feet, offering a tidy solution for linking a source to a distant display. It supports 1080p at 60Hz and 3D, and uses POC technology so only the transmitter needs a power adapter in many setups. This makes it useful for conference rooms, classrooms and digital signage where tidy cable runs matter.

Why it makes sense
The unit focuses on practical reliability rather than advanced features. Built in EDID management lets the sender copy and store the display EDID to improve compatibility, and ESD protection with automatic signal adjustment helps keep image and sound stable according to the manufacturer. Bear in mind the manufacturer recommends Cat6 oxygen free copper cable for best results and advises against routing through patch panels or adapters between transmitter and receiver because extra connections can degrade the uncompressed signal.
How to use it
Set up is straightforward, plug and play in most cases. Connect the HDMI source to the TX, attach the power adapter to the TX, and run a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable to the RX which connects to the display. Check the indicator lights to confirm normal operation. Note that the transmitter supplies power over the cable using POC technology and that the effective resolution is limited by the source and display equipment, with the highest transmitted resolution being 1080p according to the listing.
Compatibility
The extender lists broad compatibility with common HDMI sources such as PCs, media boxes, games consoles and set top boxes, making it a practical choice when you need to place a display far from the signal source. It is suited to indoor and outdoor cabling runs when appropriate cable and protection are used.
