    Is their such thing as a 4K Hdmi extender that uses ethernet cables?

  • Employeeelsie2 @ Portta Electronics on 27/05/2022 - 13:46

    Yes, it is a 1080p HDMI extender, using 2pcs cat6 ethernet cables to connect the sender and the receiver.

  • Andoni18 on 27/05/2022 - 13:47

    Can anyone share their personal experiences with similar devices on picture and sound quality ?

    • bojan on 27/05/2022 - 14:19

      I had a similar cheapie one like this from eBay, but it didn't have the power input. I found it didn't work well and the screen would flicker when I used longer cables (10m+). I had assumed it wasn't getting enough power and looked for a powered device.

      I use the Portta version of this device which is powered: https://www.amazon.com.au/Extender-avedio-links-Ethernet-Com…
      I can't seem to find the Portta version on Amazon anymore, it was bought over a year ago.
      The setup I have is to send the signal from a computer to a projector and sound system. (HDMI to VGA+3.5mm out adaptor on the end)
      I have a 45ish metre ethernet cable that it runs along. It's mostly used for powerpoint but plays videos+audio fine. The projector is only 800x600 so I can't comment on visual quality degradation.

        Same, end up for 10m I just bought a good HDMI cable.

    • ESEMCE on 27/05/2022 - 14:38

      I have same type of super cheap units from eBay as bojan.
      Unpowered 2xHDMI cable.
      I can't recall the cable length, but I reckon it's in the vicinity of 7-10m (the absolute minimum run length would be 6m with the cables taut, which they aren't) I've had this setup for something like 10 years now.
      I'm using hand terminated solid core cat6 and have experienced no issues whatsoever. Crystal clear picture (no sound as it's going to a Projector), no sparklies or any other quality issues.

      I suspect any issues others might have had came down to the quality of the cables used as the passive devices are nothing more than connector adapters, unlike the Powered devices which are probably doing some sort of multiplexing as HDMI has far more than 8 carrier wires.

  • joeyjoejnr on 27/05/2022 - 13:48

    Why buy this instead of a long HDMI cable?

    • m9 on 27/05/2022 - 13:49

      Signal degradation. It won't reach 50m.

    • Daddy on 27/05/2022 - 14:07

      For resolutions near 4K, it's recommended to use an HDMI cable that is no longer than 3 meters (10 feet).
      After that distance, the signal can start to degrade.
      For lower resolutions, the reliable distance is much longer, with the most common being 15 meters (50 feet).

  • Void on 27/05/2022 - 13:50

    Why doesn't HDMI just run over RJ45 in the first place?

    • pingMarky on 27/05/2022 - 15:40

      Full hdmi 2.0 requires dual rj45 I believe. So rj45 doesn’t have enough wires.

    • Russ on 27/05/2022 - 16:10

      HDMI has three data pairs, a clock pair, and some extra lines for DDC (so your monitor can tell your PC what display modes it supports), for CEC (so one remote control can control all your interlinked devices), and a couple for power. RJ45 has only four pairs of wires, so either some of the functionality is dropped, or they do clever multiplexing to fit all of the HDMI signals into the RJ45 wires.

      Also HDMI has a higher data rate than RJ45 cables normally support. This adapter says it will do 1080p, so it's compatible with the earliest version of HDMI, HDMI 1.0, which supports 4.95Gbps. Most RJ45 ethernet networks support a top rate of 1Gbps.

  • vikramhkumar on 27/05/2022 - 13:53

    Nice op. bought one.. will use it to run security camera feed from the NVR directly to the HDMI on the tv.. so that I can watch my neighbor's

      No this is not Ethernet.. it's just using Ethernet cable.

  • pdtmathieson on 27/05/2022 - 14:02

    What sort of signal would you get using this with ethernet over power? I'm definitely not going to do it, but interesting to know what would happen…

    • ESEMCE on 27/05/2022 - 14:41

      Anticipate no signal and burned out dongles.
      These are not netowrkable devices, they just use Ethernet cable cause it's cheap in long lengths and readily available.

  • moorey on 27/05/2022 - 16:01

    What would happen if you used CAT 5 cables?

    • Russ on 27/05/2022 - 21:15

      It would only work over a shorter distance, probably 5 or 10 metres at a guess. Any longer and it won't work.

  • BigPeeper on 27/05/2022 - 16:54

    These look very similar to the Comsol ones from Office Works https://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/comsol-hdm…

  • Ok computer on 27/05/2022 - 17:25

    Thanks OP , but don't need.
    But nice to know they exist++

  • Abaddon on 27/05/2022 - 17:42

    Still hunting for a good DisplayPort over fiber option for remote VR. One day there'll have to be an option which is cheaper than a second PC.

    • Russ on 28/05/2022 - 15:08

      Have you considered using an active DP to HDMI converter, feeding it through a HDMI cable or extender, then converting it back to DP at the other end with an active HDMI to DP converter?

      Amazon sell 4K HDMI cables that use fiber optics, longest I saw is 20m long for under $100.

      • Abaddon on 28/05/2022 - 19:05

        I didn't think they'd work for the Reverb G2 given it's 4k@90Hz I know when it came out HP said HDMI wouldn't work (though that was before HDMI 2.1).

        Looking at ~30m between my PC and my racing sim rig. Shame is I barely use it as I can't be stuffed carrying my PC out to the shed. (Also have a wife so either the sim rig is in the shed or I am).

        • Russ on 31/05/2022 - 01:13

          Looking at ~30m

          Ouch, that's a fair distance. Easily done by fiber, but not a mainstream thing yet.

          I think DP/HDMI over fiber will become much more popular in the near future. Because in most office environments, it uses a lot of power to have PCs generating heat, and then having to use extra power in the form of air-conditioning to move that heat outside. If the PCs were in a separate non-airconditioned room, cooled by outside air, the air-conditioning would need a lot less power. But to put the PCs in another room needs long video cables, which are now starting to become available.

          • ESEMCE on 31/05/2022 - 09:48

            @Russ: Dumb suggestion maybe, but assuming you only need 4K@90 for the rig and nothing else, what's stopping you from putting the Gaming PC in the shed and running a cable back to the house for less intensive usage?

            • Russ on 31/05/2022 - 10:23
              +1

              @ESEMCE: I think you replied to the wrong person, I don't have a gaming rig.

              But at a guess, Abbadon normally keeps their gaming rig in the house for other purposes, like Netflix or internet banking, or games other than racing sims.

  • kurupted on 28/05/2022 - 10:06

    Can you get wireless one ? Can any recommend me any?
