Review on ๐Ÿ”Œ HDMI Extender 1080P@60HZ 1x2 Splitter Device Over CAT6/6A/7/8 Cable: Enhanced Transmission up to 40m/131ft with Loop-Out Local Display, IR Remote Control, and EDID Function by Heather Powell

Easy to set up, POE doesn't work

My setup passes the HDMI 1080 signal to two screens over a 30m CAT6 cable. At first the installation didn't go as planned as I expected these devices to be POE compatible. Although the guide mentions that these devices are POE compatible, it says nothing about what exactly is required for this. However, in my case, the power from the main transmitter is not powering the receivers. Now my kit comes with 3 power supplies and I was planning on installing back boxes behind the screens anyway so one day I decided to just plug in the receivers. everything worked as expected. The resolution can be set via DIP switches (768 or 1080) or read on the output monitor. I have a set for 1080 that works great. The beauty of the EDID set by the broadcaster is that my computer still thinks the monitor is connected when the screens are off. With 3 HDMI cables, 3 AC adapters and 2 100ft CAT6 cables, this system is plug and play - it worked once the transmitter and 2 receivers were connected. I don't use IR receivers or loop out so I can't comment on the work. All in all, I recommend this device if you don't mind connecting all three parts separately.

Pros
  • Useful for more than intended purpose
Cons
  • Can't remember
