InLine 57885P KVM Extender Set, HDMI 4K/60Hz over Cat.6, 70m

The InLine 57885P KVM Extender Set is a high-performance solution designed to transmit HDMI video and USB data over long distances. By utilizing a single Cat.6 or Cat.6a network cable, this system allows for the reliable extension of 4K/60Hz signals up to 70 meters. It is engineered for professional environments where remote control of a computer or server is required without compromising image quality or control responsiveness.

Advantages

This extender set offers significant benefits for complex AV setups, including the ability to maintain full 4K resolution at 60Hz with 4:4:4 color sampling. The integrated KVM functionality allows users to connect a keyboard and mouse directly to the receiver unit, enabling seamless remote operation of a host computer. Installation is streamlined through the Power over Cable (PoC) feature, which requires only one power supply for both units, reducing cable clutter. Furthermore, the robust metal housing ensures durability for continuous operation in demanding professional installations, while support for HDCP 2.2 and various HDR formats guarantees compatibility with modern video sources.

Suitable for

• Professional AV installations and digital signage
• Remote server management in IT environments
• Office setups requiring a clean workspace with the PC located away from the desk
• Home theater systems where the source device is stored in a separate room

When it may not be suitable

This device is not intended for use with network switches, routers, or other active network equipment, as it requires a direct point-to-point connection between the transmitter and receiver. It is also not suitable for applications requiring wireless signal transmission or for distances exceeding 70 meters.

Key specifications

• HDMI 2.0b standard with 18 Gb/s bandwidth
• Maximum resolution: 3840 x 2160 at 60Hz
• Transmission distance: Up to 70 meters via Cat.6/Cat.6a cable

How to use

To set up the system, connect your HDMI source to the transmitter unit using an HDMI cable. Connect the transmitter to the receiver using a high-quality Cat.6 or Cat.6a network cable. Connect your display to the receiver's HDMI output and your keyboard and mouse to the receiver's USB ports. Connect the provided power supply to either the transmitter or the receiver; the PoC feature will automatically power the other unit. Once connected, the system will perform an automatic EDID handshake to detect the display's capabilities and establish the signal.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure you have a high-quality Cat.6 or Cat.6a cable of sufficient length for your installation.
• Verify that your display and source device support the required HDMI 2.0b and HDCP 2.2 standards.
• Confirm that the distance between the transmitter and receiver does not exceed 70 meters.
• Check if your specific keyboard and mouse are compatible with standard USB HID protocols.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and signal stability, always use high-quality, shielded Cat.6a cabling. Avoid routing the network cable near high-voltage power lines to prevent electromagnetic interference. Ensure the units are placed in a well-ventilated area to maintain the specified operating temperature range.
