USES of 4K HDMI Over CAT6 Extender

This is a product that has an increasing market driven by a number of factors

• Max Length: The maximum run you have with a HDMI lead is normally 20m where this unit allows you achieve 50m with 4K x 2K resolution
• Customise: It is not possible to alter the length of a 4K HDMI lead but CAT5e / CAT6 cables can easily be cut to the required length in the field with basic RJ45 connectors, crimping tool & a roll of CAT5e / CAT6 cable
• Pre-Cabled: Often customers wish to put their 4K satellite receiver in the a corner unit to feed a flat screen TV hanging over the fire place. Such a set up may have CAT5e / CAT6 cables pre-wired or it may be possible to pull them through.

What Will I Also Possibly Need?

• You will also clearly need;
  • Ethernet Cables (CAT5e /CAT6 cables terminated with RJ45s)
  • 4K HDMI Cables (To connect to satellite receiver on one end and TV on the other end)
