The Orei EX-165C HDMI Extender is an essential solution for homeowners, office installers, and AV enthusiasts who need to transmit high-definition video over long distances without signal degradation. It enables the reliable transmission of 1080p signals up to 165 feet using a single CAT 6 or CAT 7 cable, simplifying complex setups. While it offers excellent range and convenient Power over Cable (PoC) functionality, it is limited to a 1080p resolution and is not suitable for 4K source material or displays.

No, the EX-165C is limited to a maximum resolution of 1080p at 60Hz.
No, thanks to PoC (Power over Cable) technology, you only need to connect the power adapter to one of the two units.
While it may work, CAT 6 or CAT 7 is strongly recommended to ensure signal integrity at the 165-foot range.
The EX-165C follows HDMI 1.4 specifications, but specifically, it is designed for signal extension and does not support ARC.
The loop-out port on the transmitter allows you to connect a secondary local display, which is useful for monitoring the source signal near the equipment.
Verify that all cable connections are secure and that the network cable is properly terminated. Ensure the source device is powered on.
This is often caused by poor-quality network cables. Replace with certified CAT 6 or CAT 7 cabling and ensure the total length does not exceed 165 feet.
Check that the IR blaster and receiver eyes are positioned correctly and that the IR cables are plugged into the specific IR ports on the units.
To set up the Orei EX-165C, first connect your source device to the transmitter's HDMI IN port and your display to the receiver's HDMI OUT port. Connect the two units using a single, solid-copper CAT 6 or CAT 7 cable. Once connected, plug the provided power adapter into the transmitter; the PoC feature will automatically supply power to the receiver.
Compatibility is guaranteed with any source or display that supports HDMI 1.4 and HDCP 1.4. For long-term care, ensure that the ventilation slots on both units are not obstructed, as this helps maintain optimal operating temperatures. Avoid using flat, unshielded network cables, as these often fail to meet the bandwidth requirements necessary for stable 1080p transmission over long distances.
