OREI 4K 1x8 HDMI Extender Splitter 165ft 📺
Description:
This compact HDMI distribution kit lets you send a single HDMI source to up to eight displays over CAT6/7 cable while keeping a local monitor connected, making it practical for meeting rooms, digital signage and multiroom setups. It supports long cable runs for 1080p content and includes IR pass-back and EDID handling to help match displays and sources during installation.
Key Points
The system combines a transmitter with eight receivers and a local HDMI output so you can mirror one source across multiple screens with minimal cabling. It supports Power over LAN, which removes the need for an external power adapter at the receiver end and reduces clutter. The kit includes IR blaster and IR receiver cables that forward remote control commands back to the source over a dedicated channel, useful for controlling a DVD player or media box from any display location. 🖥️
Compatibility covers CAT6, CAT6a and CAT7 cables and the plug-and-play setup requires no software installation, which simplifies deployment in venues such as bars, conference rooms and exhibition halls. Consider that 4K performance is limited to 30Hz according to the manufacturer, so if you need smooth high-frame-rate 4K for gaming this may not be the best choice.

Usage Recommendations
Run quality CAT6/6a/7 cabling using consistent terminations to maintain signal integrity over long distances. For 4K sources, expect the unit to operate at 4K@30Hz which is suitable for video and digital signage. If you plan to distribute full-motion 4K gaming content, test the setup first because higher refresh rates are not supported. When deploying multiple receivers, label each end of the cable and verify IR cable placement so remote commands reach the transmitter reliably. 🔌
