InLine 57886A AV Extender AV Transmitter and Receiver 3840 x 2160 pixels Cat6

The InLine AV Extender AV Transmitter and Receiver set is designed for extending high-definition video and audio signals over Cat6 network cables with a maximum resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels. This reliable AV solution allows an HDMI source signal to be transmitted simultaneously to two spatially separated display devices over long distances using standard RJ45 point-to-point connections. The comprehensive kit includes the transmitter, two receiver units, a power supply, and IR cables to ensure a complete setup for professional installations, digital signage, and presentation systems requiring stable and synchronized signal distribution.

Advantages

This extender system provides exceptional versatility by distributing a single source signal to two separate displays without sacrificing visual or audio fidelity. It supports high-resolution content up to 4K at 30 Hz with accurate color sampling, ensuring crisp and detailed image quality. The inclusion of bidirectional infrared forwarding enables users to conveniently control the source device directly from the display location. Built for continuous operation in dry indoor environments, the hardware utilizes robust metal enclosures and secure connections for dependable long-term performance.

Suitable for

• Professional AV installations and commercial digital signage
• Home theater setups with multiple display screens
• Presentation systems in meeting rooms and conference halls
• Information displays in public or corporate buildings

When it may not be suitable

This device is not designed for wireless signal transmission or routing through standard IP computer networks, as it relies strictly on dedicated point-to-point Cat6 cabling. It is also unsuitable for high-refresh-rate gaming setups requiring resolutions above 30 Hz at 4K.

How to use

Connect your HDMI source device to the transmitter unit using an appropriate HDMI cable. Connect the Cat6 network cables from the RJ45 ports of the transmitter to the corresponding ports on the two receiver units placed near your displays. Connect each receiver to a display device using HDMI cables. Plug the included infrared transmitter and receiver cables into their respective ports if remote control forwarding is required. Finally, connect the supplied power adapter to the transmitter to power the entire system and verify the synchronized video output on both screens.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required cable length between the source and display locations to ensure it falls within the 40-meter limit for 4K or 70-meter limit for Full HD
• Ensure that Cat6 network cables are available or can be installed for point-to-point connections
• Check that your display devices support the maximum resolutions and audio formats provided by the source

Usage recommendations

For optimal signal integrity and maximum transmission distance, always use high-quality solid copper Cat6 network cables and ensure the installation environment remains within the specified temperature and humidity ranges.
