Product Information

Full details

This Lindy HDBaseT extender is designed for professionals needing to reliably extend high-quality HDMI signals up to 70 meters over a single Cat.6 network cable. It delivers stunning 4K@60Hz resolution with HDR support, ARC, and bi-directional control (IR & RS-232), while Power over Cable (PoC) simplifies installations. A potential caveat is that optimal performance relies heavily on the quality of the Cat.6 cable used.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum distance this extender can support?

The extender supports a maximum distance of 70 meters when using a high-quality Cat.6 U/UTP or F/UTP network cable. Performance may be reduced with lower-grade cables or additional inline components.

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

While Cat.5e cables may provide a connection, they are not recommended for achieving the maximum 4K resolution at 60Hz over extended distances. For best results and maximum distance, Cat.6 or higher is required.

What does 'Power over Cable' (PoC) mean?

PoC allows the extender to send power through the Cat.6 network cable from the transmitter to the receiver (or vice-versa). This means you typically only need to connect the power supply to one unit, simplifying installation, especially where power outlets are scarce.

What is ARC (Audio Return Channel)?

ARC enables audio to be sent back from the display (e.g., from smart TV apps) to an audio amplifier or soundbar connected to the transmitter unit, using the same HDMI cable.

Can I control my Blu-ray player from the TV location?

Yes, the extender features bi-directional IR and RS-232 pass-through. You can connect an IR emitter near the TV to control the Blu-ray player (connected to the transmitter), and vice-versa.

Does this extender support HDCP 2.2?

Yes, the extender is compliant with HDCP 2.2, ensuring compatibility with the latest 4K Ultra HD content sources and displays.

What is included in the package?

The package includes the HDBaseT HDMI Extender Transmitter, the HDBaseT HDMI Extender Receiver, IR emitter and receiver cables, mounting hardware, terminal blocks for RS-232, a multi-country power supply, and a user manual.

Troubleshooting

No video or audio signal

Verify all HDMI and Cat.6 cable connections are secure. Ensure the Cat.6 cable is of good quality and within the 70m limit. Check that both the Transmitter and Receiver units are powered on. Confirm the HDMI source and display support the selected resolution and HDCP version.

Intermittent signal drops or pixelation

The Cat.6 cable may be damaged, of poor quality, or exceeding the maximum recommended length. Test with a different, known-good Cat.6 cable. Ensure there are no inline couplers or excessive patch panel connections, which can degrade the signal.

IR or RS-232 control not working

Confirm that IR emitter/receiver cables are correctly connected to the respective IN/OUT ports on both units. Ensure the IR frequency range is compatible (20-60 kHz). For RS-232, verify wiring on the terminal block and check serial communication settings (baud rate, parity, stop bits) match on both ends and connected devices.

Receiver unit not powering on (when using PoC)

Ensure the Power Supply is connected to the Transmitter unit and is functioning correctly. Verify the Cat.6 cable is fully terminated and makes good contact. If PoC is not working, connect the included Power Supply directly to the Receiver unit as a temporary or permanent solution.

Lower resolution than expected (e.g., 1080p instead of 4K)

This often indicates a cable quality issue or distance limitation. The extender may be automatically downscaling to maintain a stable connection. Try a shorter, higher-quality Cat.6 cable. Ensure the source device and display are correctly configured for 4K output.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extends 4K@60Hz video with HDR over a single Cat.6 cable up to 70 meters.
  • Includes both IR and RS-232 pass-through for versatile control capabilities.
  • Power over Cable (PoC) reduces the need for separate power supplies at the receiver.
  • Supports Audio Return Channel (ARC) for flexible audio routing.
  • Robust build quality with secure screw-type DC jack for professional installations.

Cons

  • Performance is highly dependent on the quality of the Cat.6 cable used.
  • Requires a compatible HDBaseT receiver (included in this kit).
  • May not support all features if using lower-grade Ethernet cables (e.g., Cat.5e).
  • Complex setups with additional networking components might reduce maximum transmission distance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Connect the HDMI source device to the HDMI IN port on the Transmitter unit.
  2. Connect an HDMI display to the HDMI OUT port on the Receiver unit.
  3. Connect a Cat.6 network cable (or higher) between the RJ-45 port on the Transmitter and the RJ-45 port on the Receiver. Ensure the cable is good quality and tested.
  4. Connect IR emitter and receiver cables to the respective IR IN and IR OUT ports on both units if control pass-through is required.
  5. Connect the RS-232 terminal blocks to your control system and the respective ports on the units.
  6. Connect the Power Supply to either the Transmitter or Receiver unit (PoC functionality will power the other unit). The power supply is a 24VDC 1A unit with a secure screw-type DC jack.
  7. Power on all connected devices.

Compatibility:

  • Cable Type: Primarily designed for Cat.6, but Cat.6a, Cat.7, or Cat.8 cables are also suitable and may offer enhanced performance or reliability.
  • HDMI Version: Supports HDMI 2.0 specifications, including HDCP 2.2.
  • Resolutions: Up to 3840x2160@60Hz 4:4:4 8bit / 4:2:2 12bit.
  • Control: Works with bi-directional IR (20-60 kHz) and RS-232 serial communication.
  • Power: Uses a 24VDC 1A power supply. If PoC is not used, a separate supply may be needed for the receiver.

Care:

  • Ensure adequate ventilation around both units to prevent overheating.
  • Clean the exterior of the units with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or liquids.
  • Periodically check the Cat.6 cable connections for security and integrity.
  • Store units within the specified operating temperature range (0-40 °C) and humidity levels (20-90%).
