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.
