Review on πŸ”Œ Sewell Sound Link: Bi-Directional Audio Extender up to 2000ft over Cat5e/Cat6, with 3.5mm & RCA Inputs/Outputs - Black by Joe Glass

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works as advertised

**UPDATE** After fixing the issues I was having turning the sound on and off, it turned out that the problem was with the amp settings I was using on the receiving side of the signal used . I changed the settings and the sound stopped turning on and off. It just works as advertised. I also ran some signal tests and compared it to a Bluetooth audio solution (using a Qualcomm CSR8675 chipset with aptX-HD, Bluetooth 5.0). In my case, this wired solution maintained signal fidelity better than even Bluetooth 5.0 aptX-HD. It's also cheaper than the Qualcomm CSR8675 transmit and receive solution. ***End of UPDATE*** I was hoping this product would help me get Cat 5e audio from a PC line to an amplifier. It works, but the audio cuts out from time to time - about every 10 minutes or so, and it will be quiet for a while, then the audio comes back on. Very annoying and renders the device unusable as an audio device. You cannot turn the sound on and off. My guess is that the signal voltage at the receiving end drops below a threshold from time to time. Maybe an active version would be better for my needs.

Pros
  • Good build
Cons
  • Working speed
