Essential Info

Ideal for applications with a centralized media distribution cabinet and/or closet, this pair of HDMI baluns allows users to transmit high-definition (HD) video and audio over long distances via inexpensive twisted pair cabling, such as cat. 5 or cat. 6. What sets this pair of HDMI baluns apart from others that transmit up to 1080p is that at less than two inches long and two inches wide, this balun is nearly half the size of most other baluns in it's class, making it easy to conceal while doing the installation. Whether you are using an HD cable or satellite receiver, Blu-ray player, Playstation 3 or other component with an HDMI output, the HDMI cable (up to HDMI 1.3) connection to your HDTV or monitor is limited to a short range (usually 15 feet) before signal loss starts to occur. These small transformers convert HDMI video and audio signals from unbalanced to balanced and vice versa, making the necessary impedance adjustments for A/V signal transmission between different wiring systems. This means that you can run an HD signal (up to 1080p) over cat. 5 or cat. 6 cable from a source location in a centralized location in your home to a destination location on the other side of your home, up to 125 feet away. As an added convenience, Power and Status LEDs are built-in to provide visual diagnostics. This pair of baluns is the perfect solution for sending digital, high performance signals over structured cabling.

Hands On Research
Tested very well. I'm impressed by the size of these things and the quality of the video on the other side of the baluns. I couldn't tell a difference from being directly connected to the TV with an HDMI cable and going through about 100 feet of cat 5e.

    Cat. 5 or Cat. 6 Cable Connection
    These HDMI baluns are sold in pairs and are designed to work together, simply plug the HDMI cable from your source receiver and destination monitor into the corresponding baluns, connect the two baluns with a pair of cat. 5 or cat. 6 cables, then power the cables from either end with the included power supply. Once your HDMI cables have been connected from your HD receiver to the corresponding (send) balun and your HDTV to the corresponding (receive) balun, two cat. 5 or cat. 6 cables with RJ-45 connectors will be required to bridge the baluns. The amount of information being transmitted requires two cables to maintain the signal. The maximum working cable distance varies depending on the solution you are attempting to achieve:
    • 1080p, 125 feet with two cat. 6 cables
    • 1080p, 100 feet with two cat. 5e cables
    • 1080i, 200 feet with two cat. 5e or cat. 6 cables
    • 720p, 200 feet with two cat. 5e or cat. 6 cable
    • 480p, 300 feet with two cat. 5e or cat. 6 cable
