HDMI 2.0 extender over Cat6

The Monoprice Blackbird 124281 transmits 4K video up to 164 feet and 1080p up to 196 feet using a single Cat6 cable. It delivers 18 Gbps bandwidth with HDCP 2.2 and 1.4 compliance. A local HDMI loop-through output on the transmitter allows a display at the source end.

Installers needing 4K at distance

Suits AV integrators and home users who must bridge 50 metres for 4K@30 Hz or 60 metres for 1080p@60 Hz with IR control relay. Not suited for applications requiring 4K@60 Hz over the full 50 metre link or for runs beyond the stated Cat6 limits.

18 Gbps bandwidth ceiling

The 18 Gbps limit caps 4K extension to 30 Hz at the maximum 50 metre distance. Buyers needing 4K@60 Hz over that same length should verify the specification matches their source and display requirements before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Does the transmitter or receiver run hot when the extender carries an 18Gbps 4K signal all day?

The units are passively cooled and draw little power; normal operation stays warm to the touch but not hot.

What cable and display items must I already have to use this 124281 extender?

You need one solid-core Cat6 Ethernet cable up to 50 metres, an HDMI source, a display with HDMI input, and the IR emitter and receiver cables included in the box.

Will the HDMI loop-through on the transmitter work with my older 1080p monitor while the remote display runs at 4K?

Yes, the loop-through mirrors the incoming signal so the local 1080p monitor shows the same content at its native resolution.
