HDMI Extend 120m / 200m over Cat5/6

HDMI Extend 120m / 200m over Cat5/6

The HDMI Extend 120m / 200m over Cat5/6 lets you carry an HDMI video signal over standard network cable instead of a bulky dedicated HDMI run. It is designed for situations where the display or source sits too far from the other device for a regular HDMI cable to work reliably.

Using Cat5 or Cat6 cabling makes installation simpler. Network cable is lighter, easier to route through walls, ceilings and conduits, and often already present in a building. The extender is aimed at users who want to maximise the potential of an existing setup without rebuilding the whole AV infrastructure.

The product is listed as covering distances of 120 m and 200m over Cat5/6. These figures describe the reach of the system, so the right option depends on the length of the run and the cable quality used. Check the route length before ordering to be sure the model matches your site.

Typical uses include meeting rooms, classrooms, control rooms, digital signage and surveillance monitoring, where screens or sources are placed at a distance from the main equipment. It is also useful in offices and public spaces where tidy cable routing matters.

As a networking-category item, the HDMI Extend fits into a wider range of cable and connectivity products. If you are planning a larger installation, compare the reach, the number of endpoints and the cable type with your other equipment before purchase.

HDMI Extend 120m / 200m over Cat5/6

HDMI Extend 120m / 200m over Cat5/6

The HDMI Extend 120m / 200m over Cat5/6 is an HDMI extension solution that transmits high-definition video over standard twisted-pair network cabling. Instead of running a dedicated HDMI cable over long distances, you can use Cat5 or Cat6 cable, which is widely available, economical and easy to install in existing buildings.

The product is positioned as a premium networking cable solution. It is designed to help users maximise the performance of their system by bringing sources and displays together over distances that a conventional HDMI cable cannot cover reliably.

Key features

  • Extends an HDMI signal over Cat5 or Cat6 network cable
  • Rated for distances of 120 m and 200 m, as listed in the product description
  • Uses common, readily available network cabling
  • Lighter and more flexible than long-run HDMI cable
  • Suitable for fixed installations where cable routing is important

Specifications

  • Product type: HDMI extension over Cat5/6 cable
  • Listed distances: 120 m and 200 m
  • Cable type: Cat5 or Cat6 network cable
  • Category: Cable, Networking Cable

Please confirm the exact model, the connector types and the supported resolutions against the full technical documentation supplied with the product before installing it, as these details are not included in the short product information.

Why use network cable for HDMI

Running HDMI over long distances with conventional cable can be expensive and difficult. HDMI cables are thick, relatively stiff and can lose signal quality over long runs. Network cable, by contrast, is thinner, easier to pull through conduits and ceilings, and often already installed. Using an extender that works over Cat5/6 can reduce the cost and effort of a long AV connection and keep the cabling neat.

Typical uses

  • Meeting rooms and boardrooms, where the display is mounted far from the laptop or source
  • Classrooms and lecture theatres, where teaching equipment sits in a separate room
  • Control rooms and monitoring centres, where screens are remote from the operators
  • Digital signage and information displays in shops, lobbies and public areas
  • Surveillance and security monitoring, where video feeds need to reach a distant screen
  • Home cinemas and entertainment rooms where cable routing must stay discreet

Planning your installation

Before ordering, measure the actual route the cable will take, including vertical runs and any bends. Remember that the cable length needed is usually longer than the straight-line distance between the two points. Choose a cable grade appropriate for the run, and make sure the installation is carried out with suitable termination and testing. Good cable practice helps ensure a stable picture over the full distance.

Who this product suits

This product suits installers, system integrators, AV technicians and businesses who need to move a video signal over a longer distance than a standard HDMI cable can handle. It is also a practical choice for facilities managers who want to reuse existing network infrastructure for video.
