HDMI Extender Splitter 1x2 1080P@60Hz over Cat6/Cat7 - 165ft Range

In this review of the HDMI Extender Splitter 1x2 from SJSM, the bottom line is simple: this kit is for anyone who needs to extend and split a single HDMI source to multiple displays across long runs of Ethernet cable while keeping setup straightforward. The package ships with one transmitter and two receivers and its standout feature is the combination of a 165ft (50m) transmission range over CAT5e/CAT6/CAT7 and POC support so a single power adapter can operate the whole kit. For installers and small AV setups this balance of distance, distribution and simplicity is the main reason to buy.

Key Features

• 165ft (50m) Extension: Extends an HDMI signal up to 165ft over CAT5e/CAT6/CAT7, allowing displays to be placed far from the source without bulky HDMI runs.
• 1x2 Splitter with 2 Local Outputs: Distributes one source to multiple displays while keeping two local HDMI outputs for nearby monitors or testing.
• POC Function: Power over Cable capability lets one power adapter run the transmitter and receivers, reducing clutter and simplifying installations.
• Lossless 1080P@60Hz & 3D: Supports up to 1080P at 60Hz and 3D, delivering synchronized high quality audio and video for most HD applications.
• EDID Copy Function: Copies EDID from displays to match device parameters automatically, improving compatibility across varied screens.
• Plug and Play Metal Housing: Simple installation with a sturdy metal shell and heat dissipation ports for reliable operation in pro or consumer settings.

Who It's For

This kit is well suited to small businesses, classrooms, digital signage and home theaters that need to send one HDMI source to multiple displays across long cable runs without the expense of active fiber or long HDMI extenders. Installers who value straightforward wiring and reduced power points will appreciate the POC feature.

It is less appropriate for users who require resolutions beyond 1080P, or those who need guaranteed flicker-free performance on every display in highly demanding video walls; some customers reported mixed picture quality experiences on certain screens, so systems requiring perfect uniformity may need more specialized equipment.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Extends and splits one HDMI source up to 165ft using common CAT cables, reducing cable complexity.
• POC support allows a single adapter to power the kit, simplifying setup and reducing power outlets.
• EDID copy and 1080P@60Hz with 3D support provide broad compatibility and strong AV performance for HD sources.
• Metal housing and plug-and-play operation make it durable and easy to install.

Cons

• Picture quality received mixed feedback across different displays, with occasional flicker reported on some screens.
• Limited to 1080P resolutions, so it will not meet needs where 4K distribution is required.

Specifications

Our Verdict

The HDMI Extender Splitter 1x2 is a strong value for users who need to extend and distribute a single HD source across long CAT cable runs with minimal fuss. Its POC capability and EDID copy function make installation cleaner and more reliable, and for 1080P applications it offers solid performance. Choose this kit for classrooms, small signage networks or simple AV installs, but look elsewhere if you must distribute 4K or need guaranteed uniform picture behavior on every screen.
