Lionbeam sx-ex13 Hdmi Extender CAT5E CAT6 164 Feet

Product Description

The LIONBEAM sx-ex13 is an HDMI extender designed to transmit high-definition video and audio signals over standard CAT5E or CAT6 Ethernet cable up to 164 feet. It includes Power Over Cable (POC) functionality, which allows the transmitter and receiver to share a single power source through the network cable, reducing the need for separate power supplies at each end. Built-in EDID management ensures proper handshaking between the source and display. An IR channel supports remote control pass-through between the transmitter and receiver locations, and an HDMI loop-out port allows a local display to remain connected at the source end.

The sx-ex13 is suited for AV installations where an HDMI source and display cannot be co-located. Typical applications include conference rooms, digital signage, classrooms, and home theater setups where long cable runs are required. The CAT5E or CAT6 infrastructure already present in most commercial and residential buildings makes this extender a practical solution for integrators and AV technicians working within existing wiring.

Key Features

• Extends HDMI signal up to 164 feet over a single CAT5E or CAT6 cable
• Power Over Cable (POC) simplifies installation by powering both transmitter and receiver from one supply
• EDID management maintains proper source-to-display communication
• IR pass-through enables remote control of source devices from the display location
• HDMI loop-out port keeps a local display active at the source end

Compatibility

Designed for use with HDMI-equipped source devices and displays in residential and commercial AV installations using CAT5E or CAT6 structured cabling.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by AV integrators or low-voltage technicians. Power down all source devices and displays before connecting the transmitter and receiver units. Use a quality, straight-through CAT5E or CAT6 patch cable or in-wall run without inline couplers where possible to maintain signal integrity. Low-voltage cabling work in commercial settings may be subject to local building codes and NEC Class 2 wiring requirements.
