OREI 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.

Used it for the first time last night streamed a church service for Christmas Mass was easy to set up and quality was perfect we had screen but tried it about a week ago on small tv the hdmi did a great picture. Would remember how easy set up was.

Excellent IR transmission and very good video. Had some problems making sure all the IR remotes (I am using several over a long distance) worked EVERY time, but once the issue was worked out - with a slight reposition of the reciever and fresh batteries - no problems. Obviously constructed with hard metal tabs for "serious" installations, just protect your furniture for "at home" projects and you should be very happy with this; it does exactly what it says for TV and IR needs. Good buy.

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!

This device works as it says. I was able to plug in and have it work instantly with my security camera system to a tv in my kitchen. All over cat5e wire. Only thing I see it do is every now and then the picture will go black for 1 second then come back up. I don’t know if this is because of the unit or the hdmi cables or the signal coming from my security camera recorder. But still works great and gets me the picture I wanted.

It works well, but you can't expect much from it over long distances. In my case, I used it at about 70 feet and it failed when it heated up. I've been using it for several months now and that's how it is.

This replaced a wireless HDMI extender that finally died after years of use. It was a good bid cheaper and easier to set up, after you allow for running 30ft of Cat/6 through the house. The result is a good and reliable picture on 2 TVs, thanks to the loop out feature, which is missing on many extenders at this price. POE means I only need a power supply on one end (I chose the transmitter), though you receive 2 if you want to use them. I don't need the included I/R blasters, so I can't comment on those, and the selectable EDID source is a nice touch. They're smaller than I expected, which is also good for keeping them hidden. Overall very happy with the product so far.

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.

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

Arrived promptly and works as expected.
