C2G C2G31015 HDBaseT HDMI RS232 IR Receiver Box

Overview

The C2G C2G31015 is a receiver unit designed to extend 4K HDMI video and audio signals up to 130 feet (40 meters) over a single Cat6a Ethernet cable. This device is crucial for installations where a source device, such as a media player or PC, needs to be located remotely from a display, while still maintaining high-resolution video and supporting control signals like RS232 and IR. It's ideal for digital signage, conference rooms, or command centers where clean cable runs and extended reach are paramount.

Compatibility

This receiver box is part of an HDBaseT extender system and requires a compatible HDBaseT transmitter unit. It supports 4K resolution at 60Hz, 4:4:4 color sampling, and HDR content. The system is designed to work with standard Cat6a cabling for optimal performance up to the specified distance. It also passes through RS232 and IR signals, allowing for remote control of source devices or displays.

Installation Notes

For optimal performance and to achieve the full 130ft extension at 4K 60Hz, use a minimum of Cat6a Ethernet cable. Ensure the cable is properly terminated to TIA/EIA standards. The receiver requires a power source, typically provided via PoE (Power over Ethernet) from the transmitter or a compatible PoE switch, or via an included power adapter. Verify that the transmitter and receiver units are from the same HDBaseT system to ensure signal compatibility.
