Review on AV Access Extender HDBaseT 4K60Hz by Steven Asthana

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not as good as HDMI over fiber. Maybe good for a short time.

Using 70ft Cat 7 shielded 4K HDR cable between Marantz AVR and JVC RS2000 projector. The signal was worse with this extender than with an HDMI active fiber optic cable of about the same length. With movies, the signal broke a few times and the HDMI handshake took longer with this extender than with fiber. Switching from this extender to fiber reduced the handshake time from 20 seconds to 5 seconds. I recommend fiber optic (like Ruipro) instead of an extension cord if it suits your case.

Pros
  • Not cheap but decent
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than others
