Designed to deliver pristine video and audio transmission over a single Cat5e/6 cable, this extender is ideal for home theaters, conference rooms, and professional AV installations where distance, clutter reduction, and control are critical. Built around the robust HDBaseT standard, it seamlessly carries HDMI signals, audio, control, and power up to 100 meters, all while preserving image fidelity and reducing setup complexity. If you’re upgrading a home theater, installing a corporate presentation system, or integrating a multimedia display into a classroom, this extender provides a reliable, flexible solution that simplifies cabling without compromising performance.

• Long-range 4K HDMI extension over Cat5e/6 up to 100 meters: Transmit high-resolution HDMI video (HDMI 1.4 capable) and multi-channel audio through a single Cat5e/6 cable, enabling clean, low-profile installations with minimal cable clutter. The technology maintains excellent picture quality and color accuracy across the entire length of the run, making it ideal for elegant home theaters, boardrooms, and digital signage.
• HDBaseT with 5Play support and reliable signal integrity: Features HDBaseT-based transmission that combines video, audio, Ethernet, control (RS-232), and power on a single copper cable. This integrated approach reduces installation costs and complexity while delivering robust performance even in challenging environments, with built-in equalization and error-resilience to preserve signal integrity over distance.
• RS-232 and IR pass-through for seamless device control: Offers practical control options for connected displays and AV receivers. RS-232 and IR pass-through enable remote management, automation integration, and a streamlined user experience, letting you power on, switch inputs, and adjust settings without directly interacting with each device at the display end.
• Power over Cable (PoC) for simplified installation: PoC capability allows power to be delivered from the transmitter to the receiver via the same Cat5e/6 cable, reducing the need for multiple power adapters at the display end. This feature simplifies deployment in hard-to-reach installations and helps maintain a clean, organized setup.
• Plug-and-play design with broad compatibility: Engineered for straightforward installation with minimal setup steps. The extender supports common HDMI sources and displays, and its compact form factor makes it suitable for recessed racks, mounting behind TVs, or discreet placements in AV cabinets—all while maintaining broad compatibility with typical home and professional AV equipment.

• Power delivery (PoC) capabilities: Power can be delivered to the remote unit via the same Cat5e/6 cable, reducing the need for separate power supplies at the receiver end. This feature simplifies installation in wall-mounted displays, ceilings, or other hard-to-reach locations.

How to install SIIG 4K HDMI HDBaseT Extender Over Single Cat5e/6 with RS-232, IR & PoC - 100m

• Step 1: Connect your source device (Blu-ray player, game console, computer, or media streamer) to the transmitter’s HDMI input using a high-quality HDMI cable. Ensure the source is powered on and configured for the correct output resolution.
• Step 2: Run a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable from the transmitter to the receiver, making sure the cable is rated for the desired distance and rated for the installation environment (consider shielding and installation paths to avoid interference).
• Step 3: Connect the receiver’s HDMI output to the display (TV, projector, or monitor) using another HDMI cable. Confirm that the display is powered on and set to the correct input source that corresponds to the extender connection.
• Step 4: If you are using PoC, connect the included power supply to the transmitter (or the recommended power option) and verify that the PoC link is active, supplying power to the remote receiver. If PoC is not used, provide power to the receiver as required by your installation’s design.
• Step 5: Attach RS-232 or IR control devices as needed for automation or remote control, and configure any EDID or CEC settings supported by your equipment to ensure optimal compatibility and smooth operation across the extended link. Test the full setup by powering on the system, switching inputs, and confirming audio and video playback across the display.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What resolutions are supported over the 100m Cat5e/6 link? A: The extender supports HDMI transmission suitable for 4K UHD content and standard HD formats, with HDMI 1.4 compatibility. Actual resolution support may depend on the source, display capabilities, and EDID negotiations, but high-quality 4K and 1080p content are commonly achievable over the full distance when using quality cables and appropriate source material.
• Q: Can I use PoC to power the remote receiver? A: Yes. The Power over Cable (PoC) feature is designed to reduce the need for multiple power adapters by delivering power to the remote unit through the same Cat5e/6 cable. Ensure proper power configuration as described in the installation steps and verify power delivery with the connected devices.
• Q: Does the extender support RS-232 control? A: Yes. RS-232 pass-through enables external control of the connected devices, making it suitable for integrated AV systems, automation setups, and centralized control environments where remote management is needed.
• Q: Is IR pass-through available? A: Yes. IR pass-through allows remote infrared control of the source or display, which is helpful for keeping the control devices in an ideal location while managing devices from a convenient spot.
• Q: Is this unit easy to install for a typical home theater? A: Absolutely. The design emphasizes simplicity, with a single Cat5e/6 run and a minimal cabling footprint. For best results, ensure the cable run adheres to recommended distances, use quality HDMI cables, and follow the setup steps to align power, control, and display connections.
