Description
Meet the Eaton Tripp Lite Series DisplayPort to HDMI over Cat6 Extender Kit—a robust, installer-friendly solution for delivering pristine 4K video over standard network cabling. Designed for environments where long runs and clean aesthetics matter, this kit extends high-quality DisplayPort video from a source to an HDMI display across a Cat6 infrastructure with minimal signal loss. It’s ideal for classrooms, conference rooms, restaurants, auditoriums, and digital signage, where dependable AV distribution and professional appearance are essential.
With a focus on reliability, the extender kit preserves the integrity of the original signal even over substantial distances. It supports 4K at 60 Hz with 4:4:4 color, ensuring razor-sharp text, vivid graphics, and accurate color reproduction for presentations, lectures, and multimedia displays. The 2-piece design—transmitter and receiver—pairs with a wall-plate mounting option for seamless in-wall installation, keeping cables tucked away and walls looking clean and professional. The combination of high-performance video over Cat6 and a compact wall-plate presentation simplifies room setups, reduces clutter, and speeds up deployments in busy educational and corporate environments.
Security and compatibility are central to this kit’s value proposition. It is HDCP 2.2 compliant, which means protected 4K content from Blu-ray players, streaming devices, and other sources remains secure as it travels to the display. The kit also features power-over-cable (PoC) capability, allowing power to be delivered from the transmitter to the receiver over the Cat6 link, reducing the need for separate power adapters at the display end. Built to endure the rigors of frequent use, the kit provides a professional, durable solution that preserves signal quality while offering flexible installation options—from desktop setups to wall-mounted configurations in fixed spaces.
Whether you’re outfitting a modern classroom with digital whiteboarding, a corporate training room with multiple displays, or a lobby digital signage wall, this extender kit offers scalable performance with easy setup. Its wall-plate design ensures a professional in-wall installation that blends with room aesthetics and helps protect the cabling from damage. Thanks to its broad compatibility and 4K 60 Hz capability, it’s a forward-looking choice for any space where high-resolution video needs to reach displays reliably over distances that standard HDMI cables can’t cover. In short, it combines advanced video technology with practical, installer-friendly features to support engaging, distraction-free viewing experiences across a wide range of environments.
