Tripp Lite HDMI Over Cat5/6 Extender Kit w/ Serial and IR Control, Transmitter and Receiver
Long cable runs between media players and remote displays often lose signal quality or struggle with control pass-through. This kit uses a transmitter and receiver pair to bridge that gap over standard network cabling. You keep the video sharp, the multi-channel sound intact, and retain remote serial control.

How this one is built
Long distance link
A single category cable carries high-definition picture between the two units. This lets you place media sources in an equipment closet while mounting the display in a conference room or lobby without running bulky video cables.
Surround sound support
Audio passes through right alongside the picture without needing extra sound leads. The hardware handles multi-channel audio formats including DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD, keeping feeds aligned between source gear and distant speaker systems.
Serial control pass-through
Serial signals route through the connection alongside the video feed. That allows control systems to send commands to distant displays or media players across the same physical run, cutting down on extra wiring pulls.
Source compatibility
The kit accepts standard HDMI feeds from media players, computers, and video switches across common operating systems. You patch into standard jacks at both ends without needing driver installations on the host hardware.
