Gefen HDMI CAT-5 Extreme Extender

Extend your High Definition Display up to 200 feet!

The Gefen HDMI CAT-5 Extreme makes it simple to connect HDMI equipment over distances up to 60 meters (200 feet).  This is at least four times the distance that is possible with even the best passive cables!

CAT5 cables have the added advantage of small physical size, making them ideal for use in conduits, or anywhere that it would be difficult to route a HDMI cable.  The transceiver units are small and lightweight, making them easy to install.  We have the necessary CAT5 cable kits available separately.

Gefen's Description

Extends your HDTV signal up to 200 feet (60 meters) away over two CAT-5 cables.

The HDMI CAT-5 Extreme extends your HDTV display up to 200 feet away from your HDTV source using two CAT-5 cables. It is equipped with HDMI (high definition multimedia interface) connectors and is capable of supporting DVI (digital visual interface) equipment when used with a HDMI to DVI Adapter, providing greater flexibility and options when integrating several home theater components.

How it works
The HDMI CAT-5 Extreme-S sender unit sits next to your computer, set-top box or DVD player source. Cables supplied with the HDMI CAT-5 Extreme connect your DVI or HDMI source to the send unit. The HDMI CAT-5 Extreme-R receive unit sits next to your HDTV display - up to 200 feet away. The display plugs into the back of the HDMI CAT-5 Extreme-R receiver unit. Two CAT-5 cables the sender and the receiver units to each other.

Note: The HDMI CAT-5 Extreme is HDCP compliant.
