StarTech ST121SHD50 HDMI Extender Over Cat5e/6
Overview
The StarTech ST121SHD50 is an HDMI extender kit designed to transmit high-definition video signals up to 165 feet (50 meters) over standard Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cabling. This solution is ideal for digital signage, conference rooms, or any scenario where an HDMI source needs to be displayed on a remote screen without signal degradation. Its Power over Cable (PoC) feature simplifies installation by allowing the remote receiver unit to be powered via the Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for a separate power adapter at the display location.
Compatibility
This extender kit supports a maximum resolution of 1080p (1920x1080) at 60Hz. It is compatible with any HDMI source device and display that supports these resolutions. The kit requires Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cabling for optimal performance. The local unit connects to the HDMI source via an HDMI cable and to the network cable via an RJ45 port. The remote unit connects to the display via an HDMI cable and to the network cable via an RJ45 port.
Installation Notes
The operating temperature range for this device is 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). It requires a 100-240V AC input with 0.5A current, providing a 12V DC output at 1.5A for the PoC functionality. Ensure that the Ethernet cabling used is in good condition and properly terminated to avoid signal issues. The physical dimensions of each unit are 3.1 inches (8.0 cm) in length, 2.0 inches (5.1 cm) in width, and 0.8 inches (2.1 cm) in height, with a weight of 11.1 oz (314.0 g).
