OREI HD14-EX165-K 4K HDMI Extender Splitter 165 ft 📺

This HDMI distribution system lets a single source send video to four HDMI displays over Cat6/7 cable, making it practical for meeting rooms, exhibits, or bars where neat, long-distance connections are needed. The unit supports 1080P@60Hz at longer ranges and 4K@30Hz for shorter runs, so you can pick the resolution that fits your layout and displays.

Key Points

The kit includes one transmitter and four powered receivers that do not require a separate adapter at each display according to the manufacturer. An extra HDMI loop-out on the transmitter allows a local monitor connection while sending the signal over network cabling to remote screens. IR passback and included IR blaster cables let you control the source from a remote location, which is useful when the player is tucked away in a closet or equipment rack. Setup is plug and play with no software installation needed, and the system works with Cat6, Cat6a, and Cat7 cables for flexible installation distances. Consider that the highest supported resolution over the longest distance is 1920 × 1080 at 60 Hz, while 4K at 30 Hz is limited to shorter runs.

Benefits

Using network cabling instead of long HDMI runs reduces cable bulk and simplifies cable management in ceiling or wall runs. The IR passback feature means you can change discs or menus from the remote display location, which adds convenience for presentations and public displays. Since receivers draw power through the Cat cable from the transmitter, fewer wall adapters are needed and installation looks cleaner. Note that 4K performance is limited by distance according to the manufacturer, so confirm run lengths for 4K playback.

Usage Recommendations

For installations aiming at 4K playback, keep Cat runs under the specified 165 ft length and use high-quality Cat6a or Cat7 cable for best signal integrity. For long conference rooms or multi-floor setups where 1080P is acceptable, the extended 230 ft capability helps avoid signal repeaters. Place the transmitter in a ventilated area and test IR control range before finishing wall plates to ensure reliable remote control performance.
