Product Information

Full details

The Lindy 100m Cat.6 HDMI 4K60 HDBaseT Extender is designed for professionals seeking to reliably extend high-resolution HDMI signals over long distances using standard Cat.6 network cable. Its key benefit is enabling 4K@60Hz video transmission up to 70 meters or 1080p up to 100 meters, with support for HDR, audio, IR, RS-232, and Ethernet pass-through, all powered via a single adapter at the transmitter. A potential caveat is its reliance on high-quality Cat.6 cable and the need for DSC compression compatibility with other 18G devices.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum distance for 4K resolution with this extender?

The Lindy 100m Cat.6 HDMI 4K60 HDBaseT Extender supports 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 8bit resolution up to 70 meters using high-quality Cat.6 U/UTP or F/UTP cable.

Can I use Cat.5e cable with this extender?

While Cat.5e cable might work for shorter distances at lower resolutions (like 1080p), it is not recommended for achieving the full 4K@60Hz or 100m distances. Cat.6 or higher (Cat.6a, Cat.7) is required for optimal performance and to meet the specified distance and resolution capabilities.

How does Power over Cable (PoC) work?

PoC allows the extender to send DC power from the transmitter unit through the Cat.6 cable to power the receiver unit. This means you typically only need to connect the power adapter to the transmitter, simplifying installation, especially in locations without readily available power outlets for the receiver.

What is the purpose of the bi-directional IR and RS-232 ports?

These ports allow control signals to be sent in both directions. You can control your HDMI source device (e.g., a media player) from the display location using the IR receiver on the extender, and control the display device (e.g., projector) from the source location using the IR receiver on the other extender unit. RS-232 offers similar bi-directional serial communication for integration with advanced control systems.

Does this extender support HDR content?

Yes, the Lindy 100m Cat.6 HDMI 4K60 HDBaseT Extender supports High Dynamic Range (HDR) content, allowing for enhanced brightness, contrast, and a wider color gamut for a more vibrant viewing experience.

What happens if I use a patch panel or wall plate in the Cat.6 run?

Introducing components like patch panels, wall plates, or couplers into the Cat.6 cable run can degrade signal quality and reduce the maximum transmission distance achievable. For optimal performance, a direct point-to-point Cat.6 cable connection is recommended.

Does this product use compression for 4K signals?

Yes, this product uses Display Stream Compression (DSC) to achieve 18Gbps bandwidth for resolutions like 4K@60Hz. If you are integrating this extender with other HDBaseT devices, ensure that both products support the same compression method for compatibility.

Troubleshooting

No video or audio signal

Verify all HDMI and Cat.6 cable connections are secure at both the transmitter and receiver. Ensure the Cat.6 cable is high-quality and within the specified length limits. Confirm the source and display devices are powered on and set to the correct inputs. Check if the AC adapter is properly connected to the transmitter and receiving power.

Intermittent signal loss or poor video quality

Test with a different, certified Cat.6 cable. Inspect the Cat.6 cable for damage. Ensure the resolution and refresh rate are supported for the distance being used (e.g., try lowering to 1080p if using 4K over 70m). Check for electromagnetic interference near the cables.

IR or RS-232 control not working

Ensure IR emitters/receivers are correctly aligned and unobstructed. Verify that the IR/RS-232 cables are correctly wired and connected to the appropriate ports on both units. Confirm that the source and display devices support the control signals being sent.

PoC not functioning (receiver not powered)

Ensure the AC adapter is connected to the transmitter and powered on. Verify that the Cat.6 cable is of sufficient quality and length. If PoC is still not working, the receiver may require a separate power source (consult product manual).

4K resolution not displaying correctly at specified distance

Confirm that the Cat.6 cable is high-quality U/UTP or F/UTP. Test with a shorter Cat.6 cable run. Ensure the source device is outputting a signal compatible with the extender's capabilities (e.g., DSC compression if applicable). The maximum distance for 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 is 70m.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extends HDMI signals over long distances with high resolutions (4K@60Hz, 1080p).
  • Supports HDR for enhanced visual quality.
  • Integrated audio features (ARC, extraction, embedding).
  • Bi-directional IR, RS-232, and Ethernet for comprehensive control and connectivity.
  • Power over Cable (PoC) simplifies installation by reducing the need for a power outlet at the receiver.
  • Robust build with a secure power connection for professional environments.

Cons

  • Requires high-quality Cat.6 U/UTP or F/UTP cable for optimal performance and distance.
  • May require devices to support the same DSC compression method for 18G resolutions.
  • Distance limitations apply for 4K resolution (70m) compared to 1080p (100m).
  • Using additional wall plates, couplers, or patch panels can reduce transmission distances.
  • Potential compatibility issues if mixing with other HDBaseT products without verifying compression standards.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Connect an HDMI source device (e.g., PC, media player) to the HDMI input port on the transmitter unit.
  2. Connect an HDMI display device (e.g., monitor, projector) to the HDMI output port on the receiver unit.
  3. Connect a high-quality Cat.6 U/UTP or F/UTP network cable between the RJ-45 port on the transmitter and the RJ-45 port on the receiver.
  4. Connect the included 24V/1A AC adapter to the DC jack on the transmitter unit and plug it into a power outlet. Ensure the connection is secure using the screw-type lock.
  5. If using PoC, only the transmitter requires power. If PoC is not utilized, a separate power adapter may be required for the receiver if specified by the manufacturer.
  6. Connect any desired IR, RS-232, or Ethernet devices to their respective ports on both units for control and network extension.
  7. Power on the source and display devices. The extender should automatically establish a connection.

Compatibility:

  • Video Resolution: Supports up to 3840x2160@60Hz 4:4:4 8bit (70m) or 1920x1080@60Hz 4:4:4 8bit (100m) over Cat.6 cable.
  • HDR: Compatible with High Dynamic Range content.
  • Audio: Supports ARC, local audio extraction, and digital audio embedding.
  • Control: Bi-directional IR, RS-232, and CEC control passthrough.
  • Networking: Bi-directional Ethernet (10/100Mbps) passthrough.
  • Cable: Requires Cat.6 or higher (Cat.6a, Cat.7) U/UTP or F/UTP cable. Performance may be reduced with lower quality cables or cable types.
  • Compression: Uses Display Stream Compression (DSC). Ensure any other 18G devices in the chain support the same compression method for full compatibility.

Care:

  • Keep the units in a well-ventilated area to prevent overheating.
  • Avoid exposing the units to dust, moisture, or extreme temperatures.
  • Clean the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners.
  • Ensure all cable connections are secure but do not overtighten.
  • Regularly check that the power adapter is securely connected.
