USES of HDMI Over Ethernet 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 20m where this unit allows you achieve 70m with 1080p
• Customise: It is not possible to alter the length of a HDMI lead but ethernet cable 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 HD Satellite receiver in the a corner unit to feed a flat screen TV hanging over the fire place. Such a set up may have ethernet cables pre-wired or it may be possible to pull them through

What Will I Also Possibly Need?

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