UGREEN 20519 HDMI Extender Kit over Cat5e/Cat6, 1080p 60 Hz, up to 70 m

Overview

The UGREEN 20519 is a matched transmitter and receiver that carries an HDMI picture and sound over one Cat5e or Cat6 network cable up to 70 m long, with remote control (IR) passed back to the source. Each unit sits in an aluminium case that doubles as a heat sink, and the kit is rated for continuous 24/7 use in security systems. It suits surveillance monitor walls, meeting rooms, digital signage and projectors installed far from the source.
