Getting Started

The Cat5 HDMI Extender system consists of Transmitter, Transceiver and Receiver. The system can
extend HDMI signals over Cat 5 / 5e / 6 FTP cable. By cascading Transceivers, it is possible to extend
the HDMI signals to almost any length.

The Cat5 HDMI Extender system is a great solution for digital signage, public information display,
and large scale demonstration, where crystal-clear, High-Definition digital video needs to be shown.

By taking the advantage of cost efficient Cat 5 / 5e / 6 cable, the Cat5 HDMI Extender can simplify
installation. With its unlimited cascading capacity, you can extend digital video displays almost
anywhere. The Transmitter and Transceiver units are fitted with magnetic pads, enabling them to be
quickly attached to metal surfaces. A screw fixing plate is also included for permanent
installations.
