AV transmitter & receiver VALUE HDMI Extender over Twisted Pair 25 m

The VALUE HDMI Extender over Twisted Pair 25 m is an AV transmitter and receiver set designed to extend HDMI signals over Cat5e cabling. It transmits high-definition video at resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 and is compatible with HDMI 1.3. Compact and energy-efficient with a power consumption of 5W, the unit provides two HDMI inputs and pairs of RJ-45 input and output ports to connect source and display devices across a twisted-pair network up to the specified distance.

Advantages

The extender enables HDMI signal distribution over existing Cat5e infrastructure, reducing the need for long HDMI cables. Its support for 1920 x 1200 resolution preserves image detail for standard HD and computer display use. The dual HDMI inputs and RJ-45 ports offer flexible connection options for simple installations. Low power consumption and a lightweight compact form factor simplify installation in home theater or professional AV environments.

Suitable for

• Extending HDMI connections between computers and displays in offices
• Connecting media players, set-top boxes or Blu-ray players to distant TVs in living rooms or conference rooms
• Small-scale AV installations in classrooms or meeting rooms using Cat5e cabling
• Simple digital signage setups where displays are separated from source devices

How to use

Connect the HDMI source devices to the transmitter's HDMI inputs and run Cat5e cable between the transmitter and receiver using the RJ-45 ports. Connect the receiver's HDMI output to the display device. Ensure all connectors are seated firmly and apply power to both units. Verify the display resolution settings on the source device do not exceed 1920 x 1200 and confirm signal presence. For multiple displays or sources, switch or manage connections according to the installed AV workflow.

Recommendations

Use quality Cat5e cable in good condition and keep cable runs within the specified transfer distance to maintain signal integrity. Avoid running Cat5e cable parallel to high-voltage power lines to reduce potential interference. For installations requiring longer distances or higher resolutions, consider alternative extenders that support higher bandwidth or fibre solutions.
