HDMI, DVI and KVM Extenders Over CAT5/CAT6

11 products

HDMI extenders over one or two Cat5e/Cat6 cables or across a LAN, plus DVI and KVM extenders, for screens and consoles up to 150 metres away.

Extending video over network cable

HDMI cables become unreliable beyond about 15 metres, so extenders use network cable instead. A transmitter at the source and a receiver at the display are linked by Cat5e or Cat6 (or across your LAN for network models), reaching 30 to 120 metres depending on the model and resolution.

Single-cable models are the simplest to install; IR pass-through lets you keep using the source remote control from the screen end. KVM extenders do the same for a keyboard, mouse and monitor, so a computer can be controlled from another room. Connect the units directly with a solid copper cable, not through a network switch, unless the extender is designed for LAN use.
