Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this extender support 4K video?

No, the EX-165C is limited to a maximum resolution of 1080p at 60Hz.

Do I need to plug in both the transmitter and receiver?

No, thanks to PoC (Power over Cable) technology, you only need to connect the power adapter to one of the two units.

Can I use CAT 5e cable?

While it may work, CAT 6 or CAT 7 is strongly recommended to ensure signal integrity at the 165-foot range.

Does this support ARC (Audio Return Channel)?

The EX-165C follows HDMI 1.4 specifications, but specifically, it is designed for signal extension and does not support ARC.

What is the function of the loop-out port?

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.

Troubleshooting

No image on the remote display

Verify that all cable connections are secure and that the network cable is properly terminated. Ensure the source device is powered on.

Image flickering or intermittent signal loss

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.

IR control is not working

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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Supports distances up to 165 feet
  • Single power adapter required thanks to PoC technology
  • Loop-out port allows for local monitoring
  • Includes IR pass-through for remote control functionality
  • Compact and durable design

Cons

  • Does not support 4K resolution
  • Requires high-quality CAT 6 or CAT 7 cable for optimal performance
  • Limited to HDMI 1.4 standards

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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.
