1. Introduction

The Tributaries HXC6 HDMI Extender over CAT6 is a fully digital product. Many similar type units are actually analog; they convert the digital HDMI signal to analog in the transmitter unit, send it to the receiver unit via CAT5E cable where it is converted back to a digital signal. Not only is this an expensive design but it also sacriﬁces performance by the repeated digital-to-analog and analog-to- digital conversions.

Consisting of 2 units, a transmitter and a receiver, the Tributaries HXC6 can extend an HDMI signal over CAT6 cables for a distance of up to 45 meters. The installation of the Tributaries HXC6 is easy and quick. Simply place the transmitter next to your HDTV source, such as a DVD player, and then place the receiver close to your display. Complete the installation using Tributaries HDMI Cables and 2 runs of CAT6.

HXC6 specifications

Tributaries HXC6 is a cutting-edge audio cable designed to bring superior performance and exceptional audio quality to both professional and home audio systems. This high-performance cable caters to audiophiles and sound engineers alike, delivering an outstanding listening experience through its myriad of features.

One of the main features of the HXC6 is its construction. It utilizes high-purity copper conductors that minimize signal loss and ensure a clean transmission of audio signals. The use of oxygen-free copper not only enhances electrical conductivity but also reduces the likelihood of oxidation, which can degrade sound quality over time. This attention to conductor quality is crucial for maintaining a balanced and detailed sound profile.

In addition to its premium materials, the HXC6 employs advanced shielding techniques to combat interference. It incorporates a multi-layer shield design that effectively blocks electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio-frequency interference (RFI). This is particularly important for users who operate in environments with potential external noise, allowing the HXC6 to provide a clear and uninterrupted sound experience.

Another characteristic that sets the Tributaries HXC6 apart is its flexible, durable outer jacket. The cable is designed to withstand the rigors of regular use, making it suitable for both studio settings and live performances. The jacket is resistant to abrasion and is also designed to minimize microphonics, ensuring that any movement of the cable does not result in unwanted noise.

The HXC6 also features high-quality connectors that guarantee a secure and reliable connection. The connectors are gold-plated, which helps to prevent corrosion and enhances the overall conductivity of the cable. This attention to detail in the connector design contributes to the reliable performance that users expect from the Tributaries brand.

In summary, the Tributaries HXC6 is a premier audio cable that combines high-purity copper conductors, advanced shielding, a durable design, and top-quality connectors. Whether used in a professional studio or at home, it maximizes audio fidelity and minimizes interference, making it an essential component for anyone serious about sound quality.
