UGREEN 40265 HDMI Repeater Extender, 1080p, Extends HDMI Runs up to 50 m

Overview

The UGREEN 40265 is an active HDMI repeater that sits between two HDMI cables and regenerates the signal, so a 1080p picture can travel up to 50 m in total from the player or recorder to the screen. It takes its power from the HDMI connection, so there is no adapter to plug in. It suits a projector in a hall or classroom, a showroom display, or a CCTV recorder kept in a locked room away from its monitor.

Is it right for you?

• Suits 1080p sources. It will not carry 4K signals.
• Suits long runs where a single HDMI cable loses the picture.
• Reach depends on cable gauge: thicker 24 AWG cable gives the longest runs.
• Because it runs on HDMI bus power, a weak source port can shorten the usable distance.

Key features

• Resolutions up to 1080p.
• Data rate up to 1.65 Gbps per channel, 4.95 Gbps in total.
• Powered from the HDMI bus, so no separate power supply is needed.
• HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) compliant, with an LED status light.
• Input cable up to 45 m with 24 AWG, 35 m with 28 AWG or 30 m with 30 AWG HDMI cable; output cable up to 15 m with 24 AWG.
• Zinc alloy case, 68 g.

What else you need

Two HDMI cables of suitable gauge, a 1080p HDMI source and an HDMI display.

Installation

Plan the cable route so the repeater sits at the join between the two cables, stays accessible and is kept dry. The long run goes on the input side, the shorter run to the display.

Before you buy

• It is a 1080p device and will not carry 4K.
• Reach depends on cable gauge and quality.
• A source port that supplies little power over HDMI shortens the usable distance.
