Lionbeam lb-hdmi-1x8pro2 Hdmi Splitter Extender 1x8 4K

Product Description

The LIONBEAM lb-hdmi-1x8pro2 is a 1-input, 8-output HDMI splitter and extender designed to distribute a single 4K source signal to eight displays over Cat6 cabling at distances up to 229 feet. The unit operates at zero latency and supports 4K resolution at 60Hz with HDR, delivering a maximum resolution of 3840x2160 at 60Hz. Power over Cable (PoC) technology allows the remote receiver units to draw power directly through the Cat6 run from the transmitter power supply, eliminating the need for local power at each endpoint. IR passback, EDID control, and RS232 control are built in, giving AV and low-voltage technicians full signal management from a central point.

This unit is suited for commercial and residential AV installations where a single HDMI source must feed multiple displays across longer runs. Typical applications include conference rooms, digital signage arrays, hospitality displays, classrooms, and control rooms where Cat6 infrastructure is already in place. The 1x8 architecture eliminates the need for multiple discrete extenders or additional power supplies at each display location. The built-in surge, lightning, and ESD protection make it appropriate for permanent rack-mount or wall-mount installations in environments where line transients are a concern.

Key Features

• 1-input, 8-output HDMI distribution over Cat6 cabling up to 229 feet per run
• 4K at 60Hz HDR support with maximum resolution of 3840x2160 at 60Hz
• Zero-latency signal transmission suitable for live video and real-time display applications
• PoC (Power over Cable) powers receiver units from the transmitter power supply via Cat6
• IR passback and EDID management for centralized source and display control
• RS232 control port for integration with room control systems
• Built-in lightning protection, surge protection, and ESD protection
• Loop-out port retains a local HDMI output at the transmitter location

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard Cat6 cabling infrastructure in AV distribution systems requiring 1-to-8 HDMI signal extension up to 229 feet per output run.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage or AV systems technician. Power down all source and display equipment before making or breaking HDMI and Cat6 connections. Verify Cat6 runs meet TIA-568 termination standards and are free of sharp bends, staple damage, or excessive patch-panel hops that can degrade 4K signal integrity at distance. RS232 and IR control wiring should be routed and terminated according to the control system manufacturer specifications and applicable local codes.
