UGREEN 50739 HDMI Extender over Cat5e/Cat6, 1080p 60 Hz, up to 50 m with IR

Overview

The UGREEN 50739 is an HDMI extender kit: a transmitter at the source end and a receiver at the display end, joined by one Cat5e or Cat6 network cable up to 50 m long. It carries a 1080p at 60 Hz picture and sound plus remote control (IR) signals, so a recorder or player can stay out of sight while its screen sits where it is needed. It suits projectors in halls, displays in shops and CCTV monitors placed away from the recorder.

Is it right for you?

• Suits 1080p sources such as laptops, set-top boxes, media players and DVRs. It will not carry 4K.
• A point-to-point link between the two units; do not route it through a network switch.
• Suits cable runs through walls, ceilings or underground ducts where an HDMI lead is impractical.
• The full 50 m assumes good-quality Cat6 cable; long or poor-quality Cat5e runs reduce reach.

Key features

• Full HD 1080p at 60 Hz.
• Up to 50 m over Cat6 cable; Cat5e is also supported.
• Supplied as a matched transmitter and receiver pair.
• EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) handling automatically selects a resolution the display accepts.
• IR remote control extension, so the source can be controlled from the display end.
• Each unit 2.6 x 5.6 x 7.4 cm, 300 g for the kit.

What else you need

• One Cat5e or Cat6 cable for the run; no network cable is included.
• An HDMI cable at the source end and at the display end.

Installation

An AV or CCTV installer, or a confident DIYer, can fit it. Run and terminate the network cable, connect it directly between the transmitter and receiver, connect the HDMI cables and power both units.
