Product Review
gofanco HDMI CAT5e/6 Extender with IR - 120m extends HDMI audio/video signals over one cost effective CAT5e/6 cable, while maintaining signal strength and superior audio/video quality. HDMI signal transmission can be delivered directly with 1-to-1 connection or with existing network Gigabit routers or switches. With HDBitT transport protocol, you can connect up to 30 Receivers per Transmitter to not only extend but split HDMI signals to multiple displays. IR remote control feature allows users to control the source device from a long distance, typically where the HDTV is located.
