HDMI Extender Over Cat6 165ft - 4K@30hz, IR, Loop Out, PoC, HDCP 1.4

I needed to throw an HDMI signal (standard 1080p 60Hz) across the house. I also wanted to be able to monitor the image locally at the source, so that I wouldn't have to walk across the house to check on the image and sound. Enter this set of gadgets. I've used Orei products before (their HDMI splitters are REALLY nice and rock-solid) so I chose this product with some confidence. I was not disappointed. These worked exactly as described, throwing the signal cleanly to the destination. The local HDMI loop out worked just fine. The RF Blaster transmitter and receiver units worked very well too, which made remote control of the source very simple. In all, everything worked precisely as it should and held up solidly for a session that lasted MANY hours (probably about 5 or 6 hours of continuous operation). These Orei boxes barely got warm. I couldn't be more pleased with the performance of this product, and the price is mind-boggling cheap. Notes: Cat-5e and Cat-6 cables are slightly different internally. You will get longer range from a Cat-6 cable than a Cat-5e cable. Unless you're using existing Cat-5e for whatever reason, I'd recommend procuring a well-made Cat-6 cable to go with this Orei product. You'll get the maximum transmission range with Cat-6 cable. According to the manual that came with this product, Cat-5e range for 1080p 60Hz signal is 197ft maximum and Cat-6 range for 1080p 60 Hz signal is 230ft. The ranges for a 4K 30Hz signal are 115ft for Cat-5e and 131ft for Cat-6. An odd quirk: the local HDMI loop out didn't work for me until I plugged in the receiver at the other end of the Cat-6 cable I used. It seems you HAVE to connect the transmitter and receiver together in order to see anything on the HDMI loop out. Not a problem at all, but kind of odd. Just needs to be kept in mind when setting up. Finally, this product is powered from the transmitter end only. You do not need to power the receiver (in fact the receiver doesn't even have a power port). This is nice - some products of this type require power on both ends but this one does not. Makes for simpler installation/deployment.

I recently fried the receiver of a fairly expensive extender, and I needed to buy a replacement. My modest need is to run a live stream from a computer to two different screens in the building, each in the range of 40-60 feet away. I tried going the other direction and using a cheap extender instead. That was no-go as well, because I was using a splitter to reach two outputs, my cheap extender wouldn't work. This extender from Orei was my compromise, and it's worked very well so far. With the loop output going to one output and the ethernet output to the other, I was able to ditch my splitter as well, which felt oddly satisfying. Even with the expensive extender I had had an issue with seemingly random intermittent blinking, but so far the connection to both screens has been rock solid. Power on the transmitting end only is handy, there is an IR transmitter as well but it's plug and play. So far I've only been running this a few weeks, but if it lasts I'll be very happy. Someone with more rigorous needs would probably need more than this, but for myself this was an economical and satisfying solution to my needs.

I ran about 8 to 9 feet through a wall using existing Cat5, and the video and audio came through perfectly with no dropouts or delay. The unit has a solid metal housing and mounting holes if you wanna secure it. One thing to note, it doesn't come with its own power block, so you'll need a USB-A power source. It solved my problem of getting audio through a wall with a fire break in the way, and was definitely worth the price. worked at 1080 for me but I'm sure it would support 4k no prob.

Very nice extenders! We use these at the church to run remote cameras that are 100 ft away and the work great! the quality seems really good, they are very well made and pass a good signal!

I've used a ton of these on video installations. I'm an A/V installer and find these extenders to be well built and actually exceeds some of the distance specs!

Great value and works perfectly

It worked as it was supposed to, but unfortunately if you have a higher quality monitor screen with a higher resolution and refresh rate than what this extender supports, the only way to mirror your screen is to degrade the quality of your main screen. Was unusable for me.

I found the build quality of the device to be impressive. The size is in line with what would be expected given the number of cables you plug into it. The markings and instruction booklet made it very easy to set up and use. This device worked great on every device I tried, except the one I bought it for. I have a 65" TV at work that I use as an extra monitor. To get from my docking station to the TV is about 40', so I bought this device, a CAT8 Ethernet cable, and two 13" HDMI cables. My TV recognized that something was connected, but couldn't establish a signal. I tried transmitting from a different laptop and then with my iPhone - still nothing. I unplugged it from my office TV and plugged it into my 65" TV at home and then into a standard computer monitor and everything worked great, with no lag!! I contacted OREI support and they were very responsive working with me to find out what the issue was with the office TV. Unfortunately, I needed a solution ASAP, so I ended up returning the device.

This is the 3rd HDMI over Ethernet extender brand I’ve tried, and it’s the first one that has worked as advertised. I’m really happy with it and I’m thinking of buying an additional one to support a 2nd system.

I have mine set up with the transmitter connected to the TV and the Fire stick in the lounge. Then 30m of Cat6 into the kitchen so I can have the TV in both rooms with everything in sync. Sync isn't perfect with a slight delay on the receiver end, I'm sending audio separately so it doesn't matter for me. It might matter to someone else, the delay is really slight only a few ms. Picture quality is great on my 1080P screen. The IR sender works really well.

all'inzio funzionava bene. adesso, due settimane dopo la scadenza del termine peril reso, trasmette solo l'audio e non il video -- update: il venditore mi ha contattato spontaneamente e mi ha rimborsato l'acquisto.

This arrived on time and the product is performing as marketed.

Amazing quality and very easy to use. I got 3 of them for our office conference room and other set ups.
