Avycon AVA-HDMI-EXT-C180 Hdmi Extender Cat5 Cat6 Cat7

Product Description

The AVYCON AVA-HDMI-EXT-C180 is an HDMI extender that transmits a high-definition video and audio signal over standard Cat5, Cat6, or Cat7 twisted-pair cable at distances up to 180 feet. It bridges the gap between an HDMI source and a display when a direct cable run is impractical, eliminating the signal degradation that occurs with long HDMI cable runs. The unit ships as a kit designed for low-voltage installers, AV integrators, and security technicians who need a reliable HDMI extension solution in commercial or residential installations.

This extender is suited for boardrooms, classrooms, digital signage installations, and residential home theater setups where the source device and display are separated by distances that exceed the practical limit of a standard HDMI cable. It operates over existing structured cabling infrastructure using Cat5, Cat6, or Cat7 cable, reducing the need to run dedicated coax or fiber. Typical applications include connecting a media player, computer, or HDMI matrix switch to a wall-mounted display or projector in a remote room or ceiling-mounted location.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or qualified AV integrator in accordance with applicable local codes and NEC Article 800 for communication wiring. Power down all source and display equipment before connecting or disconnecting the transmitter and receiver units. Use quality-terminated, straight-through Cat5, Cat6, or Cat7 cable for the extension run, and avoid running signal cable parallel to high-voltage conductors to prevent interference. Do not exceed the rated 180-foot cable distance, as longer runs may result in signal loss or display artifacts.
