Introduction
The KanexPro WP-2XHDUSBC is a US Decora style double-gang, 3x1 Wall
plate transmitter and switcher designed to switch two HDMI®2.0 inputs and
one USB-C input to a remote display or a projector up to 131ft.(40m) at 4K/60
and 230ft.(70m) at 1080p/60 video and audio over single cat5e/6/7 cable. The
outputs are via HDBaseT port. It supports full 18 Gbps bandwidth with true 4K
video resolutions up to 4/60Hz, HDCP 2.2 compliant and will extend 4K up to
40m delivering color sampling rate of 4:4:4.
Control & PoH (Power over HDBaseT)
The wall plate transmitter can be easily controlled by selecting the “Source
/Auto” button on the front panel. By holding the button for 3 seconds, it will go
under auto switching mode and will auto-detect HDMI or USB-C inputs when
connected. It also supports CEC, which can turn the DISPLAY ON/OFF right
from the button on front panel for the far-end display device, and it can be
programmed by IR learning or RS232 command to ensure the compatibility
with various display devices. Moreover, 12V-48V PoH allows the switcher can
be powered from the compatible HDBaseT receiver and regulate the power
needed without adding another cumbersome power supply.
Applications:
Ideal for use with court rooms, classrooms, conference rooms or showrooms
where audio-visual devices can be extended from a remotely located HDMI/
USB-C source devices. The dual-gang HDMI wall plate can be used anywhere
to enhance signal integrity over CAT5e/6 cabling with powerful ON/OFF
