HDMI Extenders are used to extend signals over cables to remote devices placed at a distant location from the source. The transmission of signals could be done via cat5/cat6 cables. If the user has the need to transfer signals to longer distance then we need to have fiber optic cables for the purpose. As fiber optic cables have the capability to transmit signals to longer distances than cat5 cables, these cables come in handy when the clarity and the distance of devices matters the most.

HDMI Extender makes use of fiber optic cables for transmission purpose are known as hdmi fiber optic extenders. Fiber Optic Extenders support resolution up to 1920X1200. Signal transmitted over fiber optic cables are resistant to Electromagnetic Interface. HDMI Fiber Optic Extenders make no loss of signals or degradation of signals. The plug and play functionality makes these video extenders very simple to use and can be operated by people with very less or no technical knowledge as no software installations are required for its working.

HDMI Extenders are HDCP compliant and small in size, works fine with both cat5 cables as well as fiber optic cables. The difference lies in the fact that cat5 cables are less costly compared to fiber optic cables. CAT5 cables are less bulky than fiber optic cables. But if we require to transmit signals to longer distances with maximum video clarity fiber optic cables should be used. Though not to miss the cost HDMI Fiber Optic Extender is usually costlier than the HDMI Extenders over CAT5 Cables. If you wish to extend HDMI signals to long distances without degradation, the HDMI Extender is the perfect choice.
