Review on πŸ”Œ Sabrent HDMI Extension Cable over Cat5/6 RJ45 Extender Adapter (Up to 200-Feet) with Power Adapter - HDMI-EXTC by Larry Gaines

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Works better than expected!

I bought a Sabrent HDMI extender to extend the HDTV signal from my DirecTV HD DVR in my home gym to an additional 32" Sony Bravia HDTV in my break room. I am an avid sports fan and wanted to be able to watch two games at the same time in the break room or watch tv while the kids are playing XBOX 360 (the tv in the break room is almost never watched at the same time) The only problem was the cable from the home gym -DVR ran to wall mounted HDTV in recreation room. was about 75 feet. I did a little research and found that HDMI cables are unreliable at around 30 feet. I found the Sabrent HDMI Extender at Revain and thought it was the perfect solution for me as I already had several hundred feet of CAT5e c cable. able to. The HDMI extender is very small but well built with a metal body. After making all the HDMI and Cat5e connections to the transmitter and receiver, I was happy to see that the secondary break room's HDTV seemed to have 720p and 1080i pictures that were as clear as the 55-inch Samsung HDTV in break room (I haven't tried original 1080p content yet). Surprisingly, I didn't even need to power the HDMI extender for it to work, but I imagine longer cables might need power. I've been using it quite extensively over the past couple of weekends and haven't had any issues. If you are in a similar situation as me, this is a great solution for you. Buy Sabrent's HDMI extenders and you'll get there. I do not regret it.
