Tripp Lite HDBaseT HDMI Over Cat5e/6/6a Extender Kit w/Ethernet, Serial and IR Control, 1080p

Long video runs across a drop ceiling or through conduit quickly outgrow ordinary HDMI cords. We build this extender pair to route high-resolution picture, multi-channel sound, Ethernet, and control signals across standard network cabling. It links a remote source to a display without adding clutter behind the screen.

What it does

How this one is built

Single cable run

Routing everything through one network patch line keeps plenum pathways and wall conduits manageable. The transmitter and receiver pair carries the display signal, audio feeds, and network traffic across the span without needing separate lines for each function.

Surround audio support

The hardware carries surround sound formats alongside high-resolution video streams. It passes Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD signals down the line to match what your receivers, monitors, and sound bars expect from the media source.

Built-in network ports

Both boxes feature integrated Ethernet connections to tie nearby hardware into your local network. You can connect a smart display, a media deck, or a local switch right at the endpoint without pulling an extra line from the telecom closet.

Serial and control passthrough

Remote control signals and serial commands travel down the same copper line alongside the media stream. That lets you operate distant projectors or adjust source components through infrared eyes and serial controllers without standing right next to the gear.

On the nameplate

These are the figures published for this unit. Where a number is missing here it was not printed on the listing, and we would rather leave the row out than fill it with a guess.
