Faulty Adapter; Avoid Buying

Based on my experience, this adapter failed to deliver a stable connection between my TV and streaming devices. The only positive thing I can say is that it was easy to install... unfortunately, the constant signal disruptions ruined my viewing experience. It's certainly not worth the hassle..

Pros
  • Easy installation and configuration, providing an affordable solution for extending HDMI signals over long distances.
Cons
  • Requires dedicated Cat5E cabling, limiting its flexibility and may result in additional expenses for cabling infrastructure.

and slightly damaged in normal use

Interesting concept. Poorly implemented. They appear to be very unreliable and are easily damaged with normal use. Tested for two days and they worked until I plugged in the included IR receiver. At that point, they stopped broadcasting the video. Tech support seems to expect everyone to buy a couple of devices to test so you can figure out which end is dying. Thought my shaggy carpet, which I don't have, might be the cause. Also said possibly faulty cables - that's not true either as they…

Pros
  • One year trial period
Cons
  • Available in white only
