Extender HDMI/RJ45/USB OEM HDMI+USB-EX-100 — HDMI and USB over Cat5e/6, up to 100 m transmission distance

The OEM HDMI+USB-EX-100 is an extender system that carries HDMI video and USB signals over a single Cat5e/6 (RJ45) cable to a maximum distance of 100 meters. It allows separation of source equipment and displays or USB peripherals while maintaining HDMI resolution and USB device connectivity. The unit is intended for installations where direct HDMI cabling is impractical and where a compact transceiver solution simplifies wiring between a computer, media player or AV source and a remote monitor, touch display, keyboard, mouse or other USB device.

Advantages

The extender supports combined transmission of HDMI video and USB data over standard structured cabling, reducing the need for long HDMI runs and multiple cables. It enables longer reach up to 100 m with Cat5e/6 cabling while preserving signal integrity for typical AV and USB peripherals. The design minimizes installation complexity by using a single RJ45 link for both video and USB, and it integrates into conference room, signage and distributed AV setups without requiring specialized fiber or proprietary cabling.

Suitable for

• Conference rooms where the PC or media player is remote from the display
• Digital signage installations with remotely located screens
• AV racks or control rooms that centralize sources and distribute to endpoints
• Touch-screen kiosks or interactive displays requiring USB input at distance
• Classroom and training environments where instructor equipment is separated from displays

Key specifications

• Transmission medium: single Cat5e/6 (RJ45) cable
• Maximum transmission distance: up to 100 meters
• Signals carried: HDMI video and USB data simultaneously
• Video support: HDMI resolutions typical for consumer and professional displays (dependent on source and sink capabilities)
• USB support: connection for common USB HID and peripheral devices (dependent on host and device power/driver requirements)
• Form factor: transmitter and receiver units for local and remote connections

How to use

Install the transmitter unit near the HDMI/USB source and the receiver unit by the remote display or USB device. Connect the source HDMI output to the transmitter HDMI input and connect any local USB port as specified by the installer. Run a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable between the RJ45 ports of the transmitter and receiver, ensuring correct terminations and cable quality for distances up to 100 m. At the remote end, connect the receiver HDMI output to the display and attach USB peripherals to the receiver’s USB port. Power the units according to the manufacturer’s instructions and verify that the source and display are configured to the desired resolution and USB devices are detected by the host.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, use high-quality Cat5e or Cat6 cable with proper shielding and avoid running the cable alongside high-voltage power lines. Keep cable runs within the specified 100 m maximum. Test HDMI resolution and USB device compatibility in the planned setup before final installation, and provide adequate power to USB peripherals if they require more current than the extender can supply.
