MANHATTAN HDMI KVM over IP Extender Set 1080p@60Hz over Cat6 or IP, USB-A on Transmitter and Receiver, 60 m, black

The MANHATTAN HDMI KVM over IP Extender Set provides HDMI video extension and USB-based keyboard/mouse control for remote workstations and AV distribution. It supports full HD 1080p at 60Hz transmission over a single Cat6 cable up to 60 m, or over an IP-capable network, and includes USB-A ports on both the transmitter and receiver for connecting a PC, keyboard, mouse or other USB-A HID devices. Housed in a black enclosure, this kit is intended for office, classroom, retail or control-room environments where centralised video and KVM access are required.

Advantages

The extender set delivers uncompressed 1080p@60Hz HDMI video with low latency and supports KVM control via integrated USB-A ports on both transmitter and receiver units. Flexibility of connection methods—either a single Cat6 cable for direct point-to-point extension or deployment over an IP-capable network—enables scalable installations and remote distribution. The compact transmitter and receiver simplify integration into existing AV or IT setups, while the ability to connect standard USB peripherals makes it suitable for common workstation control and AV management scenarios.

Suitable for

• Extending HDMI video and USB keyboard/mouse control up to 60 m over Cat6 in offices and classrooms
• Distributing HD video and KVM access across IP networks for control rooms or multi-room setups
• Remote workstation access where a separate keyboard, mouse and display are required
• Retail signage or training rooms requiring centralised media playback and local control

When it may not be suitable

This extender set is designed specifically for full HD 1080p at 60Hz signals and USB-A HID control. It is not suitable for native 4K video transmission or applications requiring higher than 1080p resolution. Environments that demand long-distance runs beyond 60 m over a single Cat6 without network switches, or where fibre connectivity is required, will need a different solution.

Key specifications

• Maximum resolution: 1080p at 60Hz
• Transmission medium: single Cat6 cable (point-to-point) or IP-capable network
• Maximum direct Cat6 range: up to 60 metres
• USB connectivity: USB-A ports on transmitter and receiver for HID devices (keyboard, mouse)
• Latency: low-latency transmission suitable for interactive KVM control
• Colour: black

How to use

Connect the transmitter to the source device using an HDMI cable and attach any required USB-A peripherals to the transmitter’s USB-A port if local control at the source is needed. Connect the receiver to the display using an HDMI cable and plug USB-A peripherals such as keyboard and mouse into the receiver for remote control. For point-to-point setups, link transmitter and receiver using a Cat6 cable up to 60 m. For networked deployments, connect both units to an IP-capable network and configure network settings according to the network topology and security policies. Power the units and verify video, audio and USB HID functionality before finalising installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Required video resolution — device supports up to 1080p@60Hz, not 4K
• Distance between transmitter and receiver — up to 60 m over Cat6 direct connection
• Network architecture if using IP mode — ensure compatible switches and sufficient bandwidth
• USB device compatibility — designed for standard USB-A HID peripherals (keyboard, mouse)
• Power requirements and available power outlets at both ends

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance use high-quality Cat6 cabling for direct runs and configure network QoS when operating over shared IP networks; test USB peripherals for compatibility before widespread deployment.
