• Elegant, space-saving wall plate design: A US Decora style single-gang transmitter keeps your installation tidy and professional. The compact form factor fits standard wall boxes, hiding cables behind the wall while maintaining a clean, low-profile look in living rooms, classrooms, and conference spaces.
• Crystal-clear 4K HDMI 2.0 performance: The transmitter supports HDMI 2.0 bandwidth, enabling 4K at 60 Hz with broad color depth (4:4:4) and HDR compatibility. This ensures lifelike video detail and vibrant color across compatible displays, Blu-ray players, and streaming boxes without lag or dropouts.
• Reliable long-reach delivery via HDBaseT: Extend a single HDMI source over CAT5e/6/6a to a display up to 70 meters (230 feet) away with HDBaseT technology. The result is a robust, reliable signal that remains high-quality even across sizable rooms or lecture halls, with reduced cable clutter compared to multiple dedicated runs.
• Integrated IR control and device compatibility: IR pass-through lets you control the source device from the display area, so you can pause, play, or navigate without approaching the source. This feature is ideal for wall-mounted TVs, projector setups, or mounted media players where convenient remote access matters.
• Power over Cable (POC) for streamlined installation: The receiver is powered via the CAT cable from the transmitter, eliminating the need for a separate power supply at the receiver end. This simplifies installation, reduces cable clutter, and preserves the sleek wallplate aesthetic for a polished, professional look.

how to install KanexPro Single HDMI 2.0 Wallplate over HDBaseT 70M w/ IR & POC Receiver Set

• Plan the installation location for the transmitter in a standard wall box and determine the best route for the CAT6/6a run to the display location. Ensure the CAT cable path is free from excessive bending and interference.
• Power off all connected equipment. Remove the faceplate from the wall box to access the transmitter’s HDMI input and the receiver’s HDBaseT/HDMI outputs.
• Connect the HDMI source (laptop, Blu-ray, or 4K media player) to the HDMI input on the transmitter. Use high-quality HDMI cables to preserve signal integrity, especially for 4K60 content.
• Run a CAT5e/6/6a cable from the transmitter’s HDBaseT output to the receiver’s HDBaseT input, ensuring the run length does not exceed 70 meters (230 feet) for reliable performance.
• Connect the HDMI output on the receiver to the display or projector. If using the IR control feature, connect any IR emitter or receiver peripherals as instructed by the kit’s setup guide.
• Take advantage of Power over Cable (POC): if supported by your specific setup, verify that the transmitter is supplying power to the receiver over the CAT cable, eliminating the need for a separate power supply at the receiver end.
• Power on the source and display. Use the display’s input selector to view the HDMI signal from the transmitter. Confirm video and audio are correctly transmitted and that the IR remote can control the source from the display location.
