The Gefen Extender for HDMI 1.3 over one CAT6
The Gefen Extender for HDMI 1.3 over one CAT6 will send a 1080p@60Hz
HDMI 1.3 signal with 12-bit Deep Color support over a single CAT-6a cable at
distances of up to 175 feet (50m).
HDMI 1.2 is still fully supported and can be extended up to 200 feet (60m)
at resolutions of 1080i/p@60Hz.
Extension of high def nition can now be simplif ed with the use of only a single
CAT-6a cable. Previous solutions used two cables to accomplish this.
The Gefen Extender for HDMI 1.3 over one CAT6 supports the HDMI 1.3
specif cation with features such as Deep Color, Full 1080p HD and compressed
lossless audio formats such as Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio.
The CAT6 extender’s pure digital transmission method insures 100% signal
integrity over this single cable extension solution.
How It Works
The Gefen Extender for HDMI 1.3 over one CAT6 system consists of send and
receive units. The HDMI source (set-top box, DVD player, or gaming console)
connects to the sender unit with the supplied 6-foot HDMI cable. The receiver
unit connects to an HDTV display. One CAT-6a cable links the sender and
receiver together at distances of up to 200 feet. Power is applied to both the
sender and receiver with the included 5V DC power supplies. A perfect image is
now displayed on the remote HDTV display.
Note: This product is an HDCP pass-through device.
