Introducing the HDMI Extender
The HDMI Extender over 2 CAT5e with IR boosts your
audio/video transmission distance up to 60m (200ft) in
HDTV 1080i format. With two cost effective CAT5e/6
cables, users can readily extend an HDMI source such as
a DVD player, Blu-ray Disc player, game console, PC,
and any other TMDS compliant devices to a remote
HDMI/DVI TV or LCD monitor. This cost effective
solution provides flexibility for HDMI enabled devices
to transmit high quality audio/video to greater distances
at minimal cost.
Features and Benefits

Notes
1. When transmitting non-HDCP compliant audio/
video, you can use just one CAT5e/6 cable connected
through TMDS.
2. All transmission distances in this manual are
measured using CAT5e cable(s). Actual transmission
length and quality of the received display depends
on the quality of your CAT5e/6 cables.
3. To reduce EMI interference over long transmission
distances, use shielded CAT5e/6 cables.
4. For resolutions greater than 1080i or 1280 x 1024, a
CAT6 cable is recommended.
