HDMI Extender Splitter 1x2 Kit (1 Transmitter + 2 Receivers) for 1080P@60Hz, 3D, up to 165ft over Cat6/Cat7
Product description
If you need HDMI to reach farther than a standard cable allows, an extender kit can save a lot of hassle. This HDMI Extender Splitter 1x2 setup uses a transmitter and two receivers to send one HDMI source out over CAT5e/CAT6/CAT7 cabling, with a stated max reach of 165ft (50m). It’s designed for distribution and long-run installs where running new HDMI cables the usual way just isn’t practical.
That said, “it works” depends a bit on your cabling choices and your room layout. Over the paper specs look straightforward—1080P@60Hz, 3D support, plus EDID copy to help handshake compatibility—but your results will still lean on using quality CAT cable.
Key takeaways
This kit is a practical option if you want to extend and split a single HDMI signal using Ethernet-style cabling, rather than relying on shorter HDMI runs. You get one HDMI input coming in, and two remote outputs (via the two receivers), plus 2 channel transmission with two local output paths per the kit’s description.
Where it stands out is the combination of features aimed at real installs: a POC (Power over Cable) function so you can use a single power adapter for the whole kit, EDID copy for better display matching, and plug-and-play installation with no drivers. It also includes heat-dissipation ports, which is a small but sensible touch for anything left powered for long periods.
What it does (and what you’ll notice day to day)
In a typical setup, you place the HDMI transmitter near your source device (like a media player) and connect your display locations to the two receivers. Then you run CAT5e/CAT6/CAT7 cabling between them to carry the video and audio.
For everyday use, the value is simple: fewer “cable limit” headaches. With support up to 1080P@60Hz and synchronous audio/video transmission, the goal is a stable, clear image without noticeable mismatches between sound and picture.
If you care about 3D content, the kit is also described as supporting 3D visual enjoyment—so it’s not just a basic extender for plain 2D.
Key specifications
- HDMI extender splitter kit with 1 transmitter and 2 receivers
- Extends/distributes an HD HDMI signal over CAT5e/CAT6/CAT7 cable
- Max distance: up to 165ft (50m)
- Video support: up to 1080P@60Hz
- Supports 3D visual
- POC (Power over Cable): uses one power adapter for the whole kit
- EDID copy function for display compatibility
- Plug and play: no drive installation mentioned
Where it shines
It makes sense if your priority is distribution plus long reach using in-wall or structured cabling you already have (or plan to install). The POC approach is especially convenient: fewer power bricks, less cable wrangling, and simpler positioning for the remote receivers.
EDID copy is also a big deal for compatibility in “complex application environments,” at least on paper. In real homes and small offices, displays can negotiate formats differently, and EDID handling can reduce the chance of a display not syncing the way you expect.
Another quiet win is the recommendation to use high-quality CAT cables to preserve transmission quality. If you’re the type who plans cabling properly from the start, this kit will likely feel less finicky.
What to watch out for
This kit supports up to 1080P@60Hz, so if you’re expecting higher-resolution formats or higher refresh targets, it may not be the right match. Also, “lossless transmission” is claimed in the description, still, transmission quality tends to depend heavily on cabling quality and installation workmanship.
Keep in mind that 3D support is listed, but the real-world behavior can still vary by source content and the displays involved—EDID help should improve handshake odds, yet it’s not a guarantee for every edge case.
It might not be for you if you only need a short run and would rather keep the simplest possible setup (standard HDMI is still the easiest path when distance isn’t an issue).
Everyday use tips
Before you buy, check that your install can support the CAT5e/CAT6/CAT7 cable runs needed to reach up to the stated distance. Then, plan your cable quality early. The description explicitly recommends high-quality CAT cables to ensure transmission quality, which is a useful reminder for anyone building through walls or using patch cables.
Also consider your power layout. Since the kit uses POC and one power adapter for the whole operation, you’ll want to ensure the transmitter/receiver positioning makes sense for where that single power source can be placed.
Is it worth it?
Worth considering if you’re trying to extend and split one HDMI source to two remote viewing locations over CAT cabling, especially for a 1080P@60Hz workflow. The combo of POC, EDID copy, and plug-and-play setup makes it geared toward installs where you don’t want a complicated setup day.
Skip it (or at least think twice) if your needs go beyond 1080P@60Hz, if your cabling plan is low quality, or if you’re dealing with very unusual compatibility requirements. In those cases, the “it depends” part—cable quality, distance, and device negotiation—can matter more than the headline specs.
