HDMI to RJ45 Extender Over CAT5e/6 LAN Cable 30M 1080P HD

Extend your HDMI signal up to 30 metres (98 ft) without sacrificing picture quality. This HDMI-compatible RJ45 Extender uses standard CAT5e or CAT6 UTP network cable as the transmission medium, giving you a flexible and cost-effective way to route high-definition video around your home, office, classroom, or conference room — no dedicated HDMI cable run required.

Whether you're connecting a laptop to a projector across a large room, distributing video to a remote display, or simply tidying up a complex AV setup, this extender delivers crisp 1080p Full HD resolution at up to 30 metres. The compact, hard-plastic transmitter and receiver units are durable, lightweight, and take up minimal space — making installation quick and routing cables through walls or ceilings far more manageable than with bulky HDMI cables.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does an HDMI-compatible RJ45 extender over CAT5e/6 actually do?

A: It converts an HDMI-compatible signal into a format that can travel over standard CAT5e or CAT6 Ethernet (UTP) cable, then converts it back to HDMI-compatible output at the other end. This lets you extend your HD display signal up to 30 metres — far beyond the practical limits of a standard HDMI cable — using inexpensive, easy-to-route network cable.

Q: Do I need to buy a CAT5e or CAT6 cable separately?

A: Yes. The extender kit includes the transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX) units, but the CAT5e or CAT6 UTP LAN cable that connects them is sold separately. Standard off-the-shelf Ethernet cable works perfectly.

Q: Is this truly plug-and-play — no drivers required?

A: Yes. Simply plug your HDMI-compatible source into the transmitter, connect both units with a CAT5e/6 cable, and plug the receiver into your display. No software, drivers, or configuration are needed.

Q: What resolution does this HDMI RJ45 extender support?

A: This extender supports up to 1080p Full HD resolution at distances up to 30 metres over CAT5e or CAT6 UTP cable, making it ideal for presentations, home theatre, and digital signage applications.

Q: What devices is this extender compatible with?

A: It works with any HDMI-compatible source device — including laptops, desktop computers, Blu-ray players, game consoles, streaming devices, and set-top boxes — connected to any HDMI-compatible display, monitor, projector, or TV.
