It is suitable for connecting HDTVs, PS4 consoles, set-top boxes, DVD players, projectors and other HDMI-compatible equipment where the display needs to be positioned farther away from the source device.

With support for 1080p Full HD resolution, plug-and-play installation, hot swapping and compact TX/RX modules, this HDMI to RJ45 extender provides a practical solution for home entertainment, gaming, offices, conference rooms, hotels and data monitoring environments.

Whether you need to connect a gaming console to a distant television, display presentations through a projector or distribute an HDMI signal across a room, this HDMI extender helps overcome the distance limitations associated with conventional HDMI cable connections.

 

What Is an HDMI Extender Over Ethernet?

An HDMI extender over Ethernet is a device that transmits HDMI video and audio signals over a longer distance using a compatible network cable.

Instead of running one long HDMI cable directly between the source device and display, the extender uses two modules: a transmitter (TX) and a receiver (RX).

The transmitter connects to the HDMI source, while the receiver connects to the HDMI display. A Cat5e or Cat6 LAN cable links the two modules.

This arrangement allows the HDMI signal to travel over a distance of up to 30 metres (98ft), according to the supplied product specifications.

 

How the HDMI to RJ45 Extender Works

The kit operates through a simple point-to-point connection.

1. Connect the transmitter (TX) module to the HDMI output of your source device.
2. Connect the receiver (RX) module to the HDMI input of your television, projector or other display.
3. Connect the TX and RX modules using a compatible Cat5e or Cat6 LAN cable.
4. Switch on the connected equipment and select the appropriate HDMI input on the display.
5. View the transmitted video and audio on the receiving display.

The kit is designed for plug-and-play operation without software, drivers or complicated configuration.

The required Cat5e or Cat6 LAN cable is not included and must be purchased separately.

It provides a direct connection without requiring separate TX and RX extender modules.

The appropriate option depends on installation distance, cable routing, display requirements and available equipment.

 

Understanding the HDMI to RJ45 Connection

The HDMI extender uses RJ45 network cable connections between the transmitter and receiver modules.

However, it is important to distinguish between using an Ethernet-style cable as a transmission medium and connecting the device to a normal computer network.

The supplied product description identifies a point-to-point HDMI extension arrangement using Cat5e or Cat6 LAN cable.

It does not specify that the kit operates through a network switch, router or internet connection.

For this reason, the TX and RX modules should be treated as a paired HDMI extension system rather than as ordinary Ethernet networking equipment.

Customers should follow the supplied connection instructions and use the appropriate cable between the two modules.
