HDMI Extenders: Cat5e/Cat6 & Long-Range Kits

HDMI extenders send a video signal further than a standard HDMI cable can reach, using either a direct HDMI-to-HDMI cable extension or a transmitter/receiver pair running over Cat5e/Cat6 network cable. This range covers both approaches, plus a splitter for feeding one HDMI source to multiple displays.

What's in this range

• Direct extension cables: the 8K HDMI Extender F to F/M to F connector simply lengthens an existing HDMI run without any network cable or power.
• Cat5e/Cat6 extender kits: several options (30m, 60m, 120m) send HDMI over RJ45 network cable using a transmitter and receiver, useful when the display sits further away than an HDMI cable alone can reach.
• KVM extenders: the 60m and 120m KVM kits also carry USB keyboard and mouse signals, letting you control a PC from the display end.
• Splitter: the 4 Way HDMI Splitter sends one 4K UHD source to up to four displays at once.

How to choose

• Distance needed: match the extender's stated range (30m, 60m or 120m) to the actual cable run.
• Control at the far end: pick a KVM model if you need keyboard and mouse access, not just picture.
• Multiple screens: choose the splitter if one source must feed several displays rather than one further away.
• Resolution: check the stated resolution (1080P, 4K or 8K) against your source and display.
