Extend HDMI over a single CAT6 cable -- with support for HDMI 1.3

The Gefen Extender for HDMI 1.3 over one CAT6 will send a 1080p@60Hz HDMI 1.3 signal, with Deep Color support, over a single CAT-6a cable at distances of up to 175 feet (50m). HDMI 1.2 is still fully supported and can be extended up to 200 feet (60m).

Extension of high definition can now be simplified with the use of only a single CAT-6a cable. Previous solutions used 2 cables to accomplish this.

The Gefen Extender for HDMI 1.3 over one CAT6 supports the HDMI 1.3 specification with features such as Deep Color, Full 1080p HD and compressed lossless audio formats such as Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio.

The CAT6 extender's pure digital transmission method insures 100% signal integrity over a single cable extension solution.

How It Works

The Gefen Extender for HDMI 1.3 over one CAT6 system consists of send and receive units. The HDMI source (set-top box, DVD player, or gaming console) connects to the sender unit with the supplied 6-foot HDMI cable. The receiver unit connects to an HDTV display. One CAT-6a cable links the sender and receiver together at up to 200 feet apart. Power is applied to both the sender and receiver with the included 5V DC power supplies. A perfect image is now displayed on the remote HDTV display.

Note:  This device is an HDCP pass-through device.

For CAT5e cables, the maximum distance is 150ft at 1080p or 1920x1200.
