C2G CG60180 Hdmi Over Cat5 Cat6 Extender 164ft

Product Description

The C2G CG60180 is an HDMI extender that transmits high-definition video and audio signals over standard Cat5 or Cat6 structured cabling. Designed for installations where running a long HDMI cable is impractical, this unit extends HDMI signals up to 164 feet (50 meters) using existing or new twisted-pair infrastructure. It is suited for AV integrators, low-voltage technicians, and commercial installers who need a reliable extension solution without signal degradation over distance.

This extender fits residential and light commercial AV installations where a display, projector, or digital signage screen is located far from the source device. Typical applications include conference rooms, classrooms, retail displays, and home theater setups where the source and display cannot be connected with a direct HDMI cable run. The CG60180 leverages Cat5 or Cat6 cabling already present in the wall or conduit, reducing installation labor and material costs.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a low-voltage AV technician or licensed electrician familiar with structured cabling and HDMI signal distribution. Power down or disconnect the source device and display before connecting or disconnecting the transmitter and receiver units. Verify that the existing Cat5 or Cat6 cable run does not exceed 164 feet and meets TIA-568 wiring standards to ensure proper signal integrity. Do not exceed the maximum extension distance, as signal loss or failure may result.
