Review on Mirabox HDMI Extender Over Cat5 Cat5E Cat6 Cat6E Single LAN Cable 100M Lossless No-Delay For DVR,DVD,Home Theater by Jon Robertson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

USER HINT: use a small gigabit switch to BOOST the IP signal at any point in your CAT5/CAT6 cabling. FLAWLESS PERFORMANCE

WOW - these work great! VERY IMPRESSED!NOTE: There IS about a half a second AUDIO/VIDEO DELAY, so just be aware of that in case time alignment of your audio/video signals is critical.HELPFUL HINT: if you are having issues getting the units to 'connect/talk', just insert/use a basic (small) gigabit switch to BOOST the signal at any point in your Cat5 or Cat6 cabling.I used two gigabit switches to get a little extra distance and have the (fussy IP signal) pass through several different patch panels which can tend to cause havoc to such sensitive IP carriers. I used one of the switches just prior to the 'receiving unit' and it worked magic!I bought these basic switches off AMAZON: *TRENDnet 5-Port Unmanaged Gigabit Switch* off Best Buy for just $17 and they worked perfectly!
