USES of HDMI Over CAT6 Extender

• These HDMI over CAT6 extenders can ONLY be used in the following scenarios
• Type of Cabling
  • We have tested with different type of cables and a minimum of CAT6 UTP is the type that should be used
  • The maximum length these will work with is 20m
  • Using our optional pre-terminated CAT6 cable can make running the cable more tricky but still easier than running a 20m HDMI cable
  • You could terminate your own cable but it MUST BE AT LEAST CAT6 at a minimum and use proper CAT6 RJ45s
  • Using lesser spec cabling (Even CAT5e), extending the run length or using FTP (Shielded cable) will result in picture degradation
  • These HDMI over CAT6 extenders operate on a point to point basis and should NOT be run through a network switch
• Physical Limitations
  • The physical dimensions of these HDMI extenders mean that they won't be suitable for every job
  • These must be plugged in directly to the receiver and TV and no joiners / adapters should be used
  • This means that if the orientation of the HDMI port on your TV is not horizontal with no obstructions, you can't use these
  • Also, the same will obviously apply to your set top box and also you need to have at least 2 x 1 inches free at the back of TV / set top box
• Interchanging Extenders?
  • These HDMI over CAT6 extenders are NOT interchangeable
  • By that we mean, there is a dedicated transmitter (Tx) and a dedicated receiver (Rx) unit
  • The Tx unit must be plugged in directly to your set top box (No joiners / adapters / wall plates etc..)
  • The Rx unit must be plugged in directly to your TV (No joiners / adapters / wall plates etc..)
• Resolution
  • These HDMI extenders support up to full HD
  • In our tests, setting the set top box to 1080i achieved best results on our testing TVs but yours may be different
• These actually work really well in the correct scenarios but will not be suitable for everyone
