Review on πŸ”Œ Tripp Lite HDMI Over Cat5 / Cat6 Extender Receiver, Video and Audio, Supports 1920x1200, 1080p 60Hz (B126-1P0), Black by Stephanie Fields

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good choice for remote control power strips

Works right out of the box, no setup, true plug and play. I bought this to extend the HDMI from my DirecTV receiver to a small HD TV in the kitchen. Approximately 100 feet CAT5e to remote B126-1PO with no power. The local HDMI output of this model won me over, allowing me to avoid buying an HDMI splitter.- - - - -Updated June 17, 2015 Having my sincerest regards from Tripp Lite after solving the issue, here is part of the e-mail dialog " B126-004 connected to B126-1A0 via 30m CAT5e cable Remote HDMI output turns on/off repeatedly ON/OFF Remote HD picture and sound remain just not turned on when enabled a solution. Local HDMI passthrough to local TV works fine. Yellow LEDs on both devices are lit when HDMI signal from DirecTV receiver is turned on. CAT5e cable was checked as OK for the ethernet Tested connection devices together with a short CAT6 jumper, the problem still occurs but not as often In fact my second remote control, the original B126-1PO, worked fine for the first week, then the on/off trials started leme.Changed the 1P0 passive remote to the 1A0 active remote, this could be a signal problem. Any ideas, suggestions, or troubleshooting questions?” "Solved, please close the application. The main reason was electrical noise from the 24 volt transformer in my house, which I never suspected. Replacing B126-1A0 did not solve the problem. Before giving up and sending everything back to Revain, I spent a few hours fixing everything I could think of; Swap the power supplies on both units, unplug the CAT5e wiring, crank the EQ knob to the point of nausea. Then I opened all the circuit breakers on the main electrical panel except the two that power the units; Success, the video was stable again! I am committed to reimburse you for the cost of replacing the device or returning it, whichever you prefer. At least I'm writing a good review of Revain. Thank you." - - - - - Updated again on August 24, 2015 - after replacing the suspected transformer, I discovered that the interference was indeed coming from the fence's stun gun, which had a contactor with a 24V -Coil was powered and not transformer itself Thanks again Tripp Lite, good product and company.
