The attractive features of the HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) extenders are that, they are light in weight, eliminate the need for bulky cables, video signals could be extended over long distances without distorting the image, in fact the image received is crisp and clear with high resolution. HDMI Extender is basically a hardware device that permits the user to make extensions of video signals over long distances using inexpensive Cat5e/ Cat6 UTP cables; they were brought in for the sole purpose of overcoming the limitations that were present in HDMI cable. They have been made available in various types such as HDMI fiber optic extender and HDMI fiber optic cable; they are extensively used in call centers, restaurants and military and commercial environments.
HDMI Extender Cat5 up to 360ft is a type of HDMI Extender that has an input video signal of 0.5-1.0 volts p-p; the input DDC signal is 5 volts p-p (TTL). The maximum single link range that this device achieves is 1920x1200, 1080p; the output video is HDMI 1.3a.
