Tripp Lite HDMI Over Cat5/Cat6 Active Extender Kit, Transmitter & Receiver, USB Powered
Pulling thick HDMI leads through conduit or drop ceilings gets difficult quickly. This kit splits the run across network cabling, linking a media source to a distant screen. Power comes straight from nearby USB ports, which keeps bulky wall adapters out of the installation entirely.

How this one is built
Latching source connector
The built-in video lead features a locking connector that stays firmly seated inside the media source. Vibration and accidental tugs behind a display mount will not back the plug out of its jack.
Equalization adjustment control
A small built-in dial lets you fine-tune the video signal directly on the receiver. The included screwdriver makes it straightforward to dial in image sharpness across varying cable spans.
USB bus power
Each unit draws operating current through an included USB cable tied into the screen, media source, or a standard USB charger. That leaves wall outlets free for the main hardware.
Federal procurement standard
Both units meet Trade Agreements Act requirements for GSA Schedule purchases. The hardware works across standard operating systems and HDMI gear without extra software or drivers to load.
