4K Pro HDBaseT Extender Kit Bundle - Reliable 4K over Cat6

In this review the bundle is judged on delivering reliable long-distance 4K video distribution for installations that need a clean, single-cable run. The Monoprice Blackbird 4K Pro HDBaseT Extender Kit paired with a Premium High Speed HDMI cable is aimed at AV integrators, home theater owners, and anyone who needs to carry 4K@60Hz signals over Cat6 without multiple power bricks; the single biggest reason to buy is the combination of HDCP 2.2 support and Power over Cable which simplifies installs while preserving 4K@60Hz capability.

Key Features

• 4K@60Hz support: Enables high-resolution sources and displays to run at 4K@60Hz so content retains smooth motion and sharp detail.
• Long-distance transmission: Sends 4K video up to 35 meters and 1080p up to 70 meters over a single Cat6 cable for flexible placement of displays and receivers.
• Power over Cable (PoC): Eliminates the need for separate power adapters at the receiver, reducing cable clutter and simplifying installs.
• IR and RS232 extension: Extends remote control and serial control signals alongside video so source control and automation remain functional at the display end.
• Certified HDMI cable: The included 1 ft Premium High Speed HDMI cable is HDMI authorized and rated for 18Gbps to support HDR and dual video streams.

Who It's For

The bundle is best for AV professionals, custom installers, and home theater owners who need a dependable way to route 4K sources to displays separated by long runs of Cat6. Its HDCP 2.2 and 18Gbps cable compatibility make it suitable for modern 4K players and projectors that demand full bandwidth.

Those who should look elsewhere include users who need fiber-based runs or distances beyond the listed limits, and people who require longer HDMI patch cables than the included 1 ft Ultra Slim cable - the bundle expects the Cat6 link to do the heavy lifting.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Robust picture quality with support for 4K@60Hz and HDCP 2.2, preserving source compatibility.

• PoC reduces the number of power bricks required, so only one box typically needs plugging in.

Cons
