Tripp Lite HDMI Over Cat5/Cat6 Active Extender Kit, Transmitter & Receiver, USB Powered
Long HDMI cables get stiff, heavy, and awkward to pull through conduit or drop ceilings. We built this active extender pair to push your video source across everyday network patch cabling instead. The hardware draws juice straight from nearby USB ports, which keeps bulky wall transformers off your power strips.
Price as our retail partner last listed it. They set it and they can change it, so the figure on their page is the one that counts at checkout.

How this one is built
Equalization adjustment screwdriver
Copper runs lose signal strength over distance. We include a dedicated screwdriver so you can dial in the equalization switch on the receiver, clearing up video noise and matching the specific cable run.
USB power cords
Each end runs on bus power using the included USB Micro-B to USB-A cords. Plug them into open ports on your source and monitor to keep external power supplies off the floor.
Compact transmitter housing
The small transmitter sits right behind the media player, computer, or switch. It accepts your standard video feed and sends it out over twisted-pair wiring without crowding the shelf.
Clean receiver hookup
The matching receiver mounts out of sight near the display. It translates the incoming signal back to video, giving you a clean picture on a screen positioned far from the media source.
On the nameplate
These are the figures our retail partner lists 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.
