KATUN 150 m Cat.6 HDBaseT KVM Extender – DisplayPort 1.2, USB, IR, RS-232 (Transmitter & Receiver)

The KATUN 150 m Cat.6 HDBaseT KVM Extender is a wired transmitter-and-receiver kit designed to extend DisplayPort 1.2 video, USB keyboard/mouse, infrared (IR) control and RS-232 control signals up to 150 m over a single Cat.6 cable. The system supports DisplayPort 1.2 video formats and offers PoC (Power over Cable) so power can be supplied across the Cat.6 link in a point-to-point installation. The kit includes a transmitter and a receiver, each with DisplayPort video ports and USB local I/O, and is powered from a 24 V DC supply with a 1 A input current requirement. The extender is intended for AV installations, control rooms and remote workstation setups where long-distance extension of keyboard, video and control signals is needed.

Advantages

The extender enables long-distance transmission of high-quality DisplayPort 1.2 video and USB HID signals using standard Cat.6 cable, reducing the need for costly fibre or proprietary cabling. Supporting PoC reduces cabling complexity by allowing a single power source at one end of the link. Bi-directional IR and RS-232 support provide flexible remote control and integration with existing control systems. Built-in EDID handling improves compatibility with a wide range of displays and projectors. The design supports lossless multi-channel audio formats when carried by the DisplayPort link.

Suitable for

• AV installations requiring long-distance DisplayPort video extension
• Control rooms and command centres with remote operator stations
• Digital signage and event displays needing remote media sources
• Environments where source equipment is stored in secure or temperature-controlled rooms
• Installations that require IR and RS-232 control over distance

Key specifications

• Interface: DisplayPort 1.2 video, USB HID (keyboard/mouse), bi-directional IR, RS-232
• Extension medium: Single Cat.6 cable (U/UTP or F/UTP solid core recommended)
• Maximum extension distances (with high quality Cat.6 solid core): up to 150 m at 1920x1080@60Hz 4:4:4 8-bit; up to 100 m at 3840x2160@60Hz 4:4:4 8-bit
• Audio: Supports lossless multi-channel audio formats carried by DisplayPort
• Power: Operates from 24 V DC, 1 A input; supports PoC (Power over Cable) in point-to-point setups
• Includes: Transmitter and receiver units with local USB I/O and DisplayPort connectors

How to use

Connect the DisplayPort video source to the transmitter DisplayPort input and connect the display or projector to the receiver DisplayPort output. Attach USB keyboard and mouse devices to the USB HID ports where required. Use a single solid core Cat.6 U/UTP or F/UTP cable between the transmitter and receiver to carry video, USB, IR and RS-232 signals; ensure cable terminations meet Cat.6 standards. Provide 24 V DC power to the designated unit or use PoC capability to power the remote unit from a single power supply at one end. Configure EDID settings if necessary to match the display’s supported resolutions and audio formats.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use high-quality, solid core Cat.6 cable and maintain proper cable routing away from strong electromagnetic interference sources. Observe the device’s operating temperature limits and install units in a cool, ventilated location. Test display resolution and EDID configuration at installation to confirm required resolution and audio formats are delivered across the chosen cable length.
