HDMI Extender Splitter 1x7 1080P@60Hz Over Cat5E/6/7 - Long Range HD

In this review of the HDMI Extender Splitter 1x7, the bottom line is simple: it is a practical solution for anyone who needs to distribute a single HDMI source to multiple displays over long runs of Ethernet cable. The unit combines a single transmitter with seven receivers and a local HDMI loopout so a nearby monitor can stay connected while seven remote displays receive the same signal. For installers working on security feeds, trade show booths, or multiroom AV, the biggest reason to buy is reliable Full HD transmission up to 50m using Cat6/7 with the convenience of power over cable to reduce power wiring.

Key Features

• One-to-seven distribution: The transmitter splits a single HDMI input into seven identical outputs so multiple screens show the same content without extra source hardware.
• 1080P@60Hz support: Full HD resolution up to 1920x1080 at 60Hz produces clear, stable images and is also compatible with 3D and older 1080i/720p formats.
• Long-distance Ethernet transmission: Using Cat6 or Cat7 cabling the system reaches up to 50m (164ft), making it suitable for longer runs than standard HDMI cables allow.
• HDMI loopout on transmitter: A local HDMI output on the transmitter lets you keep a nearby monitor connected while extending the same feed to remote displays.
• Power over cable convenience: Receivers can draw power from the transmitter so only a single power adapter is required at the transmitter end, simplifying installation.
• Practical use cases: The unit is built with installation environments in mind, including security, exhibitions, and multiroom home AV projects.

Who It's For

The HDMI Extender Splitter is aimed at installers and small AV projects that need to send the same Full HD signal to multiple displays across a building or event space. It is ideal for security camera monitors, trade show booths, digital signage, classroom setups, and home audio/video distribution where multiple identical screens are required.

It is less suited for users demanding 4K resolution or HDR support, or for setups where each display needs its own independent source or extremely long runs beyond the stated limits without signal boosters. Buyers should also plan to use high-quality Cat6 or Cat7 cabling for the longest, most stable links.
