1080p HDMI Extender Splitter Over CAT6/7 - Dual HDMI RX, PoC

Our review of this 1080p HDMI extender splitter finds it best suited for users who need to feed multiple displays from a single HDMI source without noticeable delay. The unit extends HDMI over CAT6/7 up to 164ft (50m), supports HDCP 1.4 and multichannel audio formats, and offers a practical mix of features such as Power over Cable and EDID management. For installations where near zero latency and simple, surface-mountable hardware matter, this extender delivers reliable picture and audio quality with plug-and-play convenience.

Key Features

• 1x2 extender/splitter: Sends one HDMI source to two CAT6/7 receivers and the transmitter HDMI loopout so multiple displays show the same signal simultaneously.
• Up to 1080p over 164ft: Extends full HD video up to 164ft (50m) using CAT6/7 cable while remaining HDCP 1.4 compliant for protected content.
• Dual HDMI outputs on each receiver: Each receiver has two HDMI outputs, allowing up to five connected displays when counting the transmitter loopout.
• High-quality audio support: Passes LPCM 7.1, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio for multichannel sound in home theater or commercial installs.
• Power over Cable (PoC): One power adapter on the transmitter can power the receivers, reducing the need for extra outlets at remote displays.
• EDID and IR extension: Provides 11 EDID options for resolving handshake issues and one-way IR extension for remote control of the source.

Who It's For

This device is aimed at AV installers, small businesses, classrooms and home users who need to distribute a single 1080p HDMI source to several screens without introducing latency. It is particularly useful where running long HDMI cables is impractical and where maintaining multichannel audio is important.

It is not for those requiring 4K distribution or HDCP 2.2 protection, and users needing very long-term commercial warranties or confirmed extended lifespan guarantees should consider higher-end enterprise extenders. Casual single-display users will find the product capable but may not need its multi-output features.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Clean, near-zero latency video distribution that preserves picture quality across CAT6/7 runs.
• Flexible output options with dual HDMI on each receiver plus transmitter loopout to connect multiple displays.
• Convenient PoC and EDID options simplify installation and compatibility with varied displays.
• Solid audio support for LPCM 7.1 and lossless formats for home theater setups.

Cons

• Limited to 1080p and HDCP 1.4, so it is unsuitable for 4K sources or HDCP 2.2 protected content.
• Some users report mixed lifespan results, so long-term durability may vary by unit.
