Q: How to Extend HDMI over CAT cable?
To extend HDMI over CAT cable, you will need an HDMI over CAT extender. This device will allow you to send HDMI signals over a long distance using CAT5e, 6, or 7 cables.
The HDMI over CAT extender consists of two parts:
1. A transmitter: This part connects to the source device, such as a computer or Blu-ray player.
2. A receiver: This part connects to the display device, such as a television or projector.
The transmitter and receiver are connected using a CAT cable. The cable can be up to 100 meters long, allowing you to send HDMI signals over long distances.
Here are the steps on how to extend HDMI over a CAT cable:
- Connect the transmitter to the source device.
- Connect the receiver to the display device.
- Connect the CAT cable between the transmitter and receiver.
- Turn on the transmitter and receiver.
- The HDMI signal should now be extended over the CAT cable.
Here are some additional tips:
- Ensure that the CAT cable is of good quality and properly terminated.
- Use CAT5e, 6, or even 7 cables for the best performance.
- Keep the length of the cable as short as possible.
- Avoid running the cable near sources of interference, such as power cables or microwaves.
