The Gefen TV Extender for HDMI 1.3 Over CAT-6

The GefenTV HDMI 1.3 Over CAT6 Extender sends HDMI signals over just two unobtrusive CAT6 cables -- up to 150 feet away. The GefenTV HDMI 1.3 Over CAT6 Extender supports HDMI 1.2 and the newer HDMI 1.3 with features such as Deep Color, 1080p and uncompressed 7.1 audio. DVI-D Computer video can also be transmitted with a DVI-to-HDMI cable (please see the optional accesso- ries).

By using standard and widely available CAT6 cables, the GefenTV HDMI 1.3 Over CAT6 Extender makes HDMI signal extensions easier than with heavy and expensive copper cables and more robust than with optical ﬁber. The Extender’s pure digital transmission method insures 100% signal integrity over extended distances.

How It Works

The GefenTV HDMI 1.3 Over CAT6 Extender system consists of a sender and a receiver. The HDMI source (set-top box, DVD player, or gaming console) con- nects to the sender box with the supplied 6-foot HDMI cable. The receiver box connects to the HDTV display in the same way -- up to 150 feet away. Two CAT6 cables link the sender and receiver. Power is applied to the sender and receiver with the included 5V DC power supplies. A crisp, ﬂawless HDMI picture emerges on the HDTV display.

Note: The GefenTV HDMI 1.3 CAT6 Extender is HDCP compliant.
