Steetek HDMI Extender 1080p@60Hz over Single Cat5e/Cat6

Steetek HDMI Extender sends uncompressed 1080p@60Hz (and 3D) video up to 164 ft (50 m) over a single Cat5e/Cat6/Cat7 cable while supporting EDID copying and one-ended power (PoC).

Designed to bridge HDMI sources and distant displays without signal converters or long HDMI cables, this transmitter/receiver kit simplifies installations for classrooms, meeting rooms, digital signage, and home theaters. It supports full HD video, handles device compatibility through EDID management, and reduces wiring complexity by using PoC so only one unit needs a power adapter.

How does the extender keep video clear across long cable runs?

The unit transmits full HD resolution (1080p at 60Hz) and 3D content over a single shielded Ethernet cable up to 50 meters. Its design adheres to HDMI 1.3 standards and uses a stable digital link to reduce artifacts, jitter, and loss common with long passive HDMI leads.

• Supports uncompressed 1080p@60Hz and 3D playback
• Maximum reliable range: 164 ft / 50 m over Cat5e/Cat6/Cat7
• Metal housing and vents for heat management and signal stability

What does PoC (power over cable) and EDID copy do for installation?

PoC lets one side power the other through the Ethernet cable, eliminating a second power brick and simplifying cable runs. The EDID copy feature reads the connected display’s capabilities and applies that profile to the source for smoother resolution and audio handshakes.

• Single power adapter can drive both transmitter and receiver via the network cable
• EDID copy ensures the source matches the display’s supported resolutions and audio formats
• Reduces configuration steps when switching displays or sources

Which devices and environments is this compatible with?

The Steetek extender works with any HDMI-equipped source and screen, including PCs, consoles, Blu-ray players, media players, and projectors. It suits indoor digital signage, conference rooms, classrooms, small theaters, and transit displays where HDMI distances exceed practical cable lengths.

• Compatible with PCs, game consoles, Blu-ray players, media players, and projectors
• Common uses: education, corporate AV, retail signage, public transport displays, and home AV systems
• Recommended: high-quality Cat5e/Cat6/Cat7 cable for best results

How easy is setup and what maintenance is needed?

Installation is plug-and-play—no drivers or software required—so you can connect source, cable, and display quickly. The compact metal enclosures include ventilation to manage heat; aside from occasional cable checks, the kit is largely maintenance-free.

• Plug-and-play operation without drivers
• Metal shells with vents for durability and thermal protection
• Minimal upkeep: verify cables and connections periodically

Who is this for: AV integrators, teachers, presenters, business owners, and homeowners who need to extend HDMI signals reliably beyond the practical reach of HDMI cables. If you want a straightforward way to deliver uncompressed 1080p video and audio across a single Ethernet cable with simplified power and display negotiation, this Steetek transmitter/receiver kit is built for that role.
