Enhance your entertainment experience. Audio and video splitters and extenders. Split your source signal to multiple displays or extend it beyond the limits of typical cable lengths with the use of amplifiers, transmitters/receivers, wirelessly over Wifi, or extra long distances over inexpensive cat cable. Make the most of technology and make the most of your home theater, conference room or learning environment.
Audio-Video Extenders FAQ
1. What is an A/V extender?
A/V extenders transmit HDMI, DisplayPort, audio, USB or control signals over longer distances than standard cables—typically via Cat 6/6a, fiber, or coax—while preserving resolution and latency.
2. How far can Conversions Tech HDMI-over-Cat 6 extenders run?
Up to 150 m / 492 ft at 1080p and 70 m / 230 ft at 4K60 4:4:4 using solid-copper Cat 6a; HDBaseT models reach 100 m at 4K.
3. Do they support 4K60 HDR?
Yes—our latest HDBaseT 3.0 and 18 Gb/s HDMI 2.0 models pass 4K60 4:4:4 HDR10/HLG and Dolby Vision.
4. What cable should I use?
Solid copper Cat 6a/7 for twisted-pair units; OM3/OM4 duplex multimode fiber for 10 Gb/s optical extenders.
5. Is there any noticeable latency?
All copper extenders are visually lossless with <1 µs latency; fiber models are essentially zero-latency (no compression).
6. Do they carry USB for webcams or touch screens?
Yes—select SKUs include integrated USB 2.0/USB-HID channels (up to 60 m) for KVM, interactive displays, or PTZ camera control.
7. Are extenders Power-over-Cable capable?
PoC/PoH units send 48 V DC from either the TX or RX so you only need one PSU at the source side.
8. Do they pass EDID, HDCP 2.2 and CEC?
Absolutely—bidirectional EDID & HDCP 2.2 authentication plus one-way or two-way CEC depending on model.
9. Is IR or RS-232 control included?
Most models feature 20–60 kHz IR pass-through and full-duplex RS-232 (up to 115 kb/s) for projector lifts or matrix switchers.
10. Can I cascade or daisy-chain extenders?
You may add a switcher or splitter between hops, but signal regeneration adds cost. For >100 m consider our fiber series.
11. Wall-plate vs. box style—pros and cons?
Wall-plates blend into conference rooms and draw PoH locally; standalone boxes suit rack-mount installs and offer more I/O (USB, audio).
12. Do extenders support ARC/eARC?
Yes—HDMI 2.1 eARC is available on the 48 Gb/s fiber units; copper HDBaseT supports ARC (audio return) up to Dolby Digital 5.1.
13. What ESD & surge protection is built in?
±8 kV contact / ±15 kV air ESD plus 2 kV lightning surge on TMDS, per IEC 61000-4-5.
14. Rack-mount options?
1U and 2U rack trays hold up to eight transmitter or receiver boxes with front-mount power distribution.
15. Installation tips for best signal?
Keep Cat cables away from AC mains, punch down keystone jacks instead of RJ-45 couplers, and use factory-terminated Cat 6a for 4K60.
16. Are these extenders HDCP-compliant?
Yes—versions up to HDCP 2.3 with automatic key renewal for 4K UHD Blu-ray and streaming devices.
17. Warranty & tech support?
3-year advance-replacement warranty plus lifetime e-mail/phone support.
18. Where can I download spec sheets & manuals?
Download the full PDF bundle—block diagrams, pin-outs, and bandwidth charts.
