Experience flexible, reliable HDMI distribution with the SIIG HDMI over CAT5e Transceiver. This transceiver pair leverages standard RJ-45 network cabling to carry high-definition HDMI signals between a source and a display, enabling long-range placement without the footprint and cost of long HDMI runs. Ideal for living rooms, home theaters, classrooms, conference rooms, and digital signage, this compact solution delivers simple, plug-and-play installation, clean cable management, and scalable layouts that adapt to your changing AV needs. Built to work with standard HDMI sources and displays, the SIIG over CAT5e transceiver provides a practical, high-value approach to AV distribution that saves space, reduces cable clutter, and maintains signal integrity across distances where bulky HDMI cables would be impractical.

  • Flexible distance extension over standard CAT5e cables: The SIIG HDMI over CAT5e Transceiver lets you place your HDMI source and display up to the length of a conventional Ethernet run, dramatically increasing placement options while minimizing cable clutter. By converting HDMI to a form that rides on CAT5e network cabling, you gain the freedom to arrange equipment across rooms, across desks, or within a conference space without sacrificing signal quality. This capability is especially valuable for home theaters, classrooms, and corporate environments where layout considerations and room geometry demand smarter cable management.
  • Plug-and-play with dependable signal transfer: Designed for straightforward setup, this transceiver pair emphasizes effortless installation. Connect the HDMI source to the transmitter, run a CAT5e (or CAT6) cable to the receiver, and attach the receiver to your HDMI display. The system supports automatic configuration to ensure a reliable handshake between source and display. With minimal setup steps, you can achieve clean, professional AV delivery without complex configuration menus, making it ideal for both DIY projects and professional installations.
  • Compact, durable design for versatile mounting: The transceiver units are built to fit discreetly in home entertainment stacks, under desks, or on shelves. Their compact form factor supports flexible placement, while rugged construction helps withstand everyday use in busy environments. The RJ-45 connectors provide secure, reliable connectivity to standard Cat5e/6 cables, and the units are designed to sit flush with furniture or mount in a rack or enclosure, helping you maintain a tidy, professional-looking AV setup.
  • Broad compatibility and audio/video reliability: The HDMI over CAT5e solution is compatible with a wide range of HDMI-enabled devices, including Blu-ray players, game consoles, laptops, streaming devices, and professional presentation gear, paired with HDMI displays such as TVs, monitors, or projectors. It supports the transmission of both video and audio signals over a single CAT5e/6 cable, preserving the integrity of your AV content and reducing the need for multiple, separate runs of cabling. This makes it an excellent choice for multi-room installations, digital signage networks, and classroom AV setups where consistent performance matters.
  • Cost-effective, scalable AV distribution: By leveraging existing CAT5e infrastructure, the SIIG HDMI over CAT5e Transceiver offers a budget-friendly path to extending HDMI across spaces. As your needs evolve—whether adding a second display in a different room, creating a multi-zone teaching setup, or upgrading a simple home theater—the system scales to accommodate new displays or sources with minimal additional cabling. This cost efficiency, combined with reliable transmission and ease of deployment, makes it a practical long-term investment for AV lovers and professionals alike.
