Read below to find out more. What does the package include? What does it do and how do I use it? The HDMI CAT5 transmitter sits next to your source, such as a Blu-ray player and is connected to the source by a HDMI cable. The receiver should be plugged into an output device such as a HDTV, using a HDMI cable. The output device can be located up to 100 metres away. The CAT5 cable can then be run in between the transmitter and receiver up to 100 metres length. Control of the source (Blu-ray player) via the receiver is possible using the IR eyes. Why buy? Our HDMI CAT5 extender allows installers to take advantage of CAT5 (or higher) ethernet cable for connecting HDMI devices over long distances. CAT5 cable is most commonly used for computer networking, it is readily available and is very cheap. A CAT5 extender device such as this is a much more cost effective way to connect devices over long distances without loss of signal quality, (HDMI cables could only be run up to 15 metres, would require a lot of shielding and would be very expensive). CAT5 cable is relatively thin and flexible so it is easily installed, for example through walls. It can be self terminated which allows for tailored lengths to meet the exact requirements of any home or commercial installation. Specification Distance – Actual usable distance between the transmitter and receiver will vary on a number of factors including strength of signal, quality of terminations and local sources of interference. The 100 metre distance is based on use of CAT5 cable, and should be considered the absolute minimum. Usable distances are likely to be much greater and will increase with use of CAT5e, CAT6 or higher rated cable. Build Quality – The units are well built and are compact. They have a durable metal chassis. Gold Plated Connectors – to increase signal quality. Infrared Eyes - There are 2 infrared eyes, one s connected to the transmitter and the other is connected to the receiver. The eyes allow you to manage the equipment connected to your transmitter via the receiver with your remote control. For example you could control a Blu-ray player that is downstairs from upstairs of your home. Cables – In order to produce the best quality over long distances, we would recommend use of high quality cables, running to and from the transmitter and receiver.
