Steetek HDMI Extender 1080p@60Hz (3D) over Cat5e/Cat6/Cat7, 1TX + 4RX kit up to 50m
Product description
If you need to move one HDMI source to multiple displays without running a bunch of long HDMI cables, this Steetek HDMI extender kit is built for that job. It’s a 1TX + 4RX setup that transmits a single HD signal over CAT5e/CAT6/CAT7, targeting Full HD up to 1080p@60Hz and even 3D.
That said, extenders live and die by real-world cable quality and layout. The kit can be a great shortcut for clean installs, but it can also be picky if you use mediocre Ethernet cabling or long runs that don’t match the manufacturer’s guidance.
The essentials
This kit extends and distributes one HDMI input to four HDMI outputs using a CAT network cable approach (CAT5e/CAT6/CAT7). It supports “lossless” transmission at up to 1080p@60Hz, and it’s also specified to support 3D.
A practical bonus here is the POC concept: Power over cable. Instead of needing multiple adapters scattered across the setup, it supports using one power adapter to operate the whole kit (transmitter and receivers). That reduces wiring clutter and the “where do I plug this in?” headache.
What stands out in real use
The most useful feature on paper is the EDID copy function. In many HDMI distribution scenarios, compatibility issues happen because displays report their capabilities and the source doesn’t respond the way you expect. EDID copy is designed to identify the display device parameters and match them, which can help the extender work better across mixed or “complex” setups.
If you’re setting up something like a home theater area, a multi-room viewing spot, or a small office demo wall, the “1-to-4” distribution is the obvious draw. You connect your main HDMI source to the transmitter, then you run four CAT cables to the receivers near each screen.
Key compatibility notes to keep you from getting stuck
A couple of limitations are worth knowing before you buy. The listing explicitly notes it does not support IP transmit. So if your goal is to push HDMI over a network in the typical “IP streaming” sense, this isn’t aimed at that.
Also, the manufacturer recommends using high-quality cables to maintain transmission quality. Extenders often end up being more sensitive to cabling than people expect—especially when you’re pushing maximum distance. If you already have existing CAT runs, it’s worth checking their condition and quality instead of assuming any random cable will behave the same.

When it makes sense—and when it doesn’t
It’s a solid pick if you want one HDMI source feeding multiple displays and you’re okay using CAT5e/CAT6/CAT7 runs instead of long HDMI cables. It’s especially compelling if you want a cleaner install and fewer power adapters thanks to the POC function.
It may not be the best match if you specifically need IP transmit. It also might leave you wanting more if you’re chasing maximum stability in a very demanding layout—because the listing emphasizes that cable quality matters a lot for maintaining transmission quality.
If you prioritize flexibility and compatibility, the EDID copy function is the kind of feature that can save time during setup. If you’re mainly just trying to “make it work” for a single short move, you might find simpler extender options easier—this one is more about distribution to multiple screens.
FAQ
Does this kit support 4 displays from one HDMI source?
Yes. The kit includes 1 transmitter and 4 receivers, designed to extend and distribute one HDMI input to four HDMI outputs.
What resolution and refresh rate can it handle?
It supports video resolution up to 1080p@60Hz.
Is POC power really supported?
The listing says the extender supports a POC function, meaning only one power adapter is needed for the whole kit operation.
Does it copy EDID for compatibility?
Yes. EDID copy function is listed as supported to help identify display parameters and match them for better compatibility.
Does it support IP transmit?
No. The listing notes that it does not support IP transmit.
Final verdict
Should you buy it? If your goal is a 1-to-4 HDMI distribution over CAT5e/CAT6/CAT7 for up to 1080p@60Hz (with 3D support), the Steetek HDMI extender kit checks the boxes that matter: transmission over long CAT runs, EDID copy for compatibility, and POC to reduce power-adapter clutter. If you need IP transmit or you’re not confident about cable quality for the run length, it’s safer to look for another approach—because this kit’s performance depends pretty heavily on the cabling you use.
