This two-piece kit includes a transmitter and receiver that convert and carry audio over standard Ethernet cable, supporting LPCM, Dolby Digital and 5.1 formats while offering a digital-to-analog converter so you can feed analog speakers or legacy amplifiers directly. The units are metal-housed and plug-and-play, designed to bridge modern TVs, projectors, soundbars, AVR systems and older stereo equipment when sources and listening zones are far apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the extender send audio nearly 1,000 feet without delay?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit converts the source audio into signals that travel across Cat5e\/Cat6 cable, preserving timing and channel integrity so you don’t experience lip sync drift or audible lag. Using Ethernet as the transport medium provides a low-loss path compared with long optical or RCA runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSupports up to 990 ft (300 m) over a single Cat5e\/Cat6 cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaintains synchronous playback—no added latency for most setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMetal enclosures reduce interference and improve signal stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich audio formats and outputs are supported?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe adapter passes both digital optical (Toslink) and analog stereo (L\/R RCA).
