PWAY HDMI extender 4K at 60Hz, 100m
Product description
A long run HDMI extender is all about keeping a clear video feed when your display is not near the source. The PWAY HDMI Extender supports 4K at 60Hz transmission over network cabling, with a quoted reach up to 100 m, so you can place a TV, monitor, or projector further away than a standard HDMI lead would allow. Alongside video and audio, it brings practical control options for smoother day to day use, including IR remote support and USB control. 👍
If you need an HDMI 2.0 compatible setup with HDCP 2.2 and support for a range of common resolutions, this extender is built for that kind of flexibility. It also supports HDR, which, according to the manufacturer, can deliver more dynamic range and image detail compared with ordinary video. It is a straightforward choice for home cinema installs, meeting spaces, or any setup where cable routing and distance matter. 🔧
Key features
This HDMI extender by PWAY is designed to move audio and video signals over a network cable connection, rather than relying on a direct HDMI cable for the full distance. The manufacturer rates support for up to 100 m transmission depending on the cable category, with specific ranges listed for Cat5, Cat5e, and Cat6 or 7 or 8 style cabling. That matters when you are running cable through walls, across rooms, or along structured cabling.
For video quality, the device supports a maximum resolution of 4K at 60Hz, alongside popular modes such as 4K at 30Hz and several 1080 and 720 variants. Compatibility is also stated for HDMI 2.0 formats and HDCP 2.2, which is relevant for protected content workflows. HDR support is included as well, and the manufacturer notes that it can provide more dynamic range and image detail.
Control is handled in more than one way, which helps when you want the system to behave like a normal source and display pair. You can use IR remote control, and the extender also supports USB based control so you can control the source at the transmitter side remotely. The presence of a local loop out function is also useful if you want to monitor or route signals locally without relying solely on the far end.

What you’ll notice day to day
Once installed, the main benefit you will notice is the ability to place your display further away while keeping signal integrity for high resolution use. The extender is built for transmission of both audio and video, so you do not need separate audio cabling for most typical home viewing or presentation scenarios. Because it is designed around standard network cabling categories, it can fit neatly into structured cab wiring and tidy in wall runs.
There are also some practical workflow benefits when you care about control. IR remote control support lets you operate the source from the display location, which reduces the need for extra control points. USB control support can help with setups where you want a more managed remote control behaviour from the far end.
One limitation to keep in mind is that the quoted distance depends on the cable type and category. The manufacturer lists different transmission distances for different cable categories, including Cat5, Cat5e, and Cat6 or 7 up to 100 m. Plan your cabling route around the category you actually have available, so performance stays aligned with the stated capability.
Who it’s for
It’s a solid pick if you want a practical way to run an HDMI 2.0 style video and audio connection across longer distances using Cat5e, Cat6, or higher network cable runs. You’ll like it if you are setting up a home entertainment room, a study or office media station, or a meeting space where the source device and screen are not close together. It also suits scenarios where HDCP 2.2 compliance and HDR support are part of what you expect from your playback chain. If you prefer remote convenience, the included IR remote and USB control options help make the installation feel more like a direct connection. It’s not for you if your setup needs a shorter distance only, because a standard HDMI cable may be simpler for those cases.
