AV Access HDBaseT HDMI Extender 4K@60Hz 330ft - Reliable Long-Run

In this review the AV Access HDBaseT HDMI Extender is judged as a practical solution for installations that need long-distance HDMI over a single Cat5e/6/6a/7 cable. The biggest reason to pick it is straightforward: it reliably extends UHD video and advanced audio formats up to 330ft/100m over HDBaseT while keeping setup simple with features like Auto EDID and one-way PoE. Installers and home theater enthusiasts who need 4K@60Hz YUV4:4:4 transmission or multi-room AV distribution will find its combination of bandwidth and connectivity useful.

Key Features

• 4K@60Hz YUV4:4:4: Supports full UHD 4K@60Hz YUV4:4:4 with HDR and 3D effect for crisp, color-accurate video on long runs.
• 18Gbps Bandwidth and ZERO Latency: Operates at HDMI 2.0 speeds to carry high-bandwidth video and multichannel audio with no noticeable delay.
• Long Transmission Distances: Delivers 4K@60Hz up to about 70m/230ft and 1080p up to 100m/330ft over a single Cat cable for flexible placement.
• Professional Control Pass-Through: Bi-directional IR and RS232 passthrough plus CEC support let remote control and control systems function across the link.
• Auto EDID and HDCP 2.2: Automatic EDID management and HDCP 2.2 compatibility simplify compatibility with modern sources and displays.
• One-way PoE and Protection: One power adapter can power both units via PoE and built-in surge/ESD protection protects equipment from lightning or static events.

Who It's For

AV integrators, small business AV installers, educators, and serious home theater owners who need to run HDMI over a single Ethernet cable without losing advanced audio or HDR features will benefit most. The unit is particularly well suited to sites that require stable HDCP 2.2 support and the ability to carry IR or RS232 control signals alongside video.

Users who need absolute plug-and-play certainty for every possible display or who plan extremely rugged, outdoor runs should evaluate cable quality and environment; some customers reported mixed results reaching full 1080p on lower grade cable or marginal terminations, so those with unusual conditions may want to test before final installation.
