1×8 HDMI Extender Splitter over CAT6/6a/7

This extender distributes one HDMI source to eight displays simultaneously using standard CAT6, CAT6a or CAT7 Ethernet cable. It supports video resolutions up to 1080p at 60Hz and audio formats including 7.1‑channel surround sound, stereo, PCM, Dolby DTS and AC3. The kit includes one transmitter and eight receivers for immediate deployment in commercial or residential AV installations.

Installation and common issues

No drivers are required; simply connect the transmitter to the source, link each receiver with a single Ethernet cable, and attach the displays. The transmitter features a local HDMI loop‑out for monitoring and DIP‑switch EDID management to match display capabilities. Reliable operation depends on good‑quality CAT5e/6/7 cabling; poor or overly long cables are the primary cause of signal loss or handshake failures.

Distance and resolution limits

The system extends 1080p 60Hz signals up to 40 metres (130 feet) over a single CAT6/6a/7 run. Lower resolutions such as 720p or 480p are supported at the same distance. The HDMI interface is limited to HDCP 1.4 compliance, so content requiring newer HDCP versions will not pass through. Audio is restricted to the listed formats; advanced object‑based codecs are not supported.

Questions about this item

How can I verify that all eight displays are receiving a 1080p 60Hz signal after connecting the CAT6 cables?

The transmitter and each receiver show LED status indicators for link and signal; when all eight receiver LEDs are solid, every display is receiving a synchronous 1080p 60Hz feed from the single source.

What cables and accessories are included in the kit and what must I provide myself?

The kit includes one transmitter, eight receivers, IR emitter and receiver cables, power adapters for all units, and mounting hardware; you must supply eight CAT6, CAT6a or CAT7 Ethernet cables of the required length.

Should I choose CAT6, CAT6a or CAT7 cable for a 40 metre run at 1080p 60Hz?

Any of the three cable types will carry 1080p 60Hz up to 40 metres; CAT6a or CAT7 give extra margin for interference in electrically noisy installations.
