4K HDMI Extender over Cat5e Cat6 120m with PoE Tobo

HDMI cables have a practical length limitation of approximately 5 metres before signal degradation becomes problematic for 4K signals. For display installations where the source and screen are more than a few metres apart, an HDMI extender transmits the signal over Cat5e or Cat6 cable, which can reliably carry the extender’s signal protocol to 100m or beyond depending on the resolution.

At 120 metres, this extender covers the large majority of building-scale display installations: a boardroom screen driven from an AV rack, a public display in a building foyer driven from a back-room PC, or a security monitoring screen in a separate location from the DVR or NVR. The 120m maximum is achieved at resolutions including 4K.

PoE (Power over Ethernet) operation powers the remote receiver unit through the Cat5e/6 cable from the transmitter end, which means a mains power supply is only needed at the transmitter location. The screen end of the installation requires only the Cat5e/6 cable and the HDMI output connection, simplifying the installation at the remote display position.

For AV installers and CCTV engineers running HDMI to remote display positions over existing or new Cat5e/6 infrastructure across London and the UK, the 4K PoE HDMI extender provides the maximum 120m distance specification at the full 4K resolution with receiver power over the single cable.
