HDMI over Cat5e/Cat6 Extender Diagram
HDMI over Cat5e/Cat6 extenders allow high-definition video and audio signals to be transmitted over Ethernet cable for much longer distances than a standard HDMI cable. They are commonly used in home theaters, conference rooms, classrooms, digital signage, and commercial AV installations where the source device and display are separated by a significant distance.
