How to Install HDMI over CAT5e / CAT6 Ethernet Cables

[@TheEcorristine]

Another craicin video Vince. Straight forward and to the point , no mombo jumbo.

[@antoniotorres3754]

Thank you so so much. I really appreciate the fine details of the subject. I especially like the advice regarding CAT6 through out my house. It would be a pain to have to replace all the wiring. Again thanks for the informative video 👍

[@eyevincast5440]

nice video, i must say however, when doing this whatever cat cable you run cat 5 or 6 even shielded wire try to stay away from high voltage wires such extension cords or junction boxes. also if you do manage to run your cat5/6 wires in a attic or basement or inside your walls stay away from your homes high voltage wires. try to be at least 2 feet away when running parallel to get one place to another or simply run everything higher than everything else. you can cross your wires to an extant but not parallel and really close to each other or even through coils of high voltage. reason being high voltage wire has a greater/stronger magnetic field than your low voltage wire which can interfere with your data. just food for thought for those of you who want to do some diy in your home.

copper also cannot stay with high voltage wires?

[@stephenjones-gm1828]

Hi Vince, Your video is exactly what I needed to show me what HDMI to utp converters are all about. However, That is not why I’m commenting. It’s the way you created the video. Not sure how you did it as it looked so natural with your hands coming in and out both sides of the screen. It looked like what you were looking at, or what I should be looking at. You must have put quite a bit of time into how to make it seem so natural, the video was properly placed so I could see exactly what you wanted me to see. Its just good. Plenty of kudos all over you!! Thank you for your hard work.

[@themadone915]

Boner alert!

[@ytubepaul]

very well presented - thank you. Alas I bought the bi-cable cheapo ones not realising that they wont work over my Cat6 LAN. I didn't realise they were essentially point to point connectors - BUT ta for explaining it to me.

[@Nixima81]

Clever tech , never seen this before. Thank you for the video.

[@DarrenRavenscroft]

Thank you for this video! I've just bought some of these as the distance I need the video feed to travel is 13 metres... therefore I'm pretty confident that they are a very cheap ace product for the job!

[@DarrenRavenscroft]

Side note... do you think Cat5 cables will work just as well, as they are much cheaper?

[@blewmonkey]

Hi.. Were you able to get the item, and has it worked for you?

[@jamskof]

@@blewmonkey it seems nobody replies to anything on this page

[@TwistyTrav]

I used a HDMI to Cat5 adapter over a distance of over 75 meters across a hockey arena. The key to getting high performance over long distance is by combining the ethernet adapters with an HDMI active repeater. The HDMI repeater boosts the transmitting signal before it goes through the ethernet adapter. Only downside is the removal of any HDMI-CEC compatibility.

[@jonathannocon]

Very thorough and useful! 👍🏻 I was considering this as an option for my case and have always wondered if they worked or not. This save me time and money! Thank you good sir!

[@michaels-h5539]

Every time I've got doubts about how/if things would work, I keep on bumping onto your videos @Vince, subscribing now... Many thanks for sharing them and for talking about what goes through your mind about the subject, I was thinking about buying this + powerline adaptors... Idea gone for now! :)

[@jamskof]

what the hell?? i had no idea this was even a thing? fantastic cheers fella!

[@Alex-kr7zr]

Sounds like a good option for installing HDMI into the wall if tubes already exist. Way easier to get a CAT6 through the tube compared to HDMI and 15m is pretty reasonable for most scenarios.

Very professional video. Thanks. I want to ask a question, Can I use a ethernet switch with those？thanks for answering

[@vishan02]

helpful video. Does it work through a router/switch?

[@DanielJohnHowTo]

Good video. Any ideas why you need to run two network cables for the chunky sized ones?

[@Mymatevince]

I haven't taken them apart but I believe the chunky ones just convert the pins of the HDMI onto the wires. So the HDMI has 19 pins( from memory) and it doesn't use them all and 2 Ethernet cables have 16 wires so it is just connecting each pin to each wire.

[@DanielJohnHowTo]

Thanks for you. Ah I see, I only mentioned it because two lots of wires isn't ideal but I suppose if you want it to work etc.

[@Mymatevince]

Yes, it is not ideal so the other one in the video the more expensive single cable version would be better.

[@freelifeproductions]

yeah the HDMI gets distorted after 15 meters becouse of the wires are not sheilded.. i have a powerd HDMI extender. also had trouble with the CAT6... and needed CAT6a now works perfect over 100 meters..

[@Mymatevince]

Thanks for the info :-)

[@basweshwarthakkarwad5035]

[@duranium4445]

also they were alongside the tv power cable which is the main reason for distortion.

Nice video. Do you know if this will handle 4k 60hz for 12-14 meters?

[@chrissnowling9199]

Hi Vince, glad i watched your video as i was just about to order a couple of tp link ethernet over mains adapters and a rj45 to hdmi adaptor thinking that would work. It seems no one makes a HDMI over mains adaptor? My application is a CCTV NVR/DVR which has an HDMI port for viewing on tv and as it has a noisy hard drive you want it out of earshot. Any ideas?

[@root8able]

have you tried usb over lan? I wanna connect my gaming to pc to my tv (about 20m) using the hdmi over lan adapters like on this video and usb over lan adapters... but not sure if there will be latency

[@vandersonrenan]

Nice video. The adapter TX works in 4k? Great job.

[@rageismail]

?

[@L1m3r]

Shielded cables make a big difference. Especially in this case Cat 6 UTP only has a guaranteed bandwidth of 250MHz. Cat 6A doubles that (500MHz) and is at least F/UTP or U/FTP. Of course S/FTP is even better and Cat 5e S/FTP will probably work better than your Cat 6 UTP cables. These adapters may even need a shielded cable to work properly.

[@freelifeproductions]

nope Cat5e doesn't work good for HDMI extenders.. just blue screen... gets distorded or something..

[@aumsum560]

[@Erick1811]

Will Cat5e/6 support 4k at 25 feet?

[@frostycab]

Great video. I do have a couple of questions. First, will this only work by directly connecting the cables, or will it still work if you connect via an ethernet hub? I have my PC next to the router in one room, and then use cable from the router to a hub in the living room for the TV and other devices. Secondly, do you think that transmission distance might be improved by better cable? I'm using Cat 10 cable between rooms right now.

[@pochul]

it' can work if u connect 2 hub for each cable , not the 2 cable in same hub , bcuz it's 2 signal different ,, so typically if u use hub it's for double for 2 or 3 tv ,, in this case you need 1 hub for each cable , cable A = hub 1 , Cable B = hub 2 ,,

[@pochul]

or else u can use '' hdmi to fiber , '' it's can run 10 km , and try to buy firber in asia ( it's cost less than europe ) , i want use that for rent my ps4 to my neighbor , but it's need a converter usb to ethernet , for send to joycon too ;) lol

If you were installing the cables, would you terminate in 568b straight or crossover cable

[@TheCreativeComposer]

Hi, thanks for the video. I have a question: what's the point in using double ethernet to hdmi connection like he has explained before from roku to TV? What if I leave one port totally open? because in his demo, he is showing roku as the transmitter and TV as the receiver. So, what exactly is transferred over the other cat6 cable when one is already doing the job?

[@averyzaliasylvia4026]

Hey mate nice video but what is the downside of using that extender?

[@V3LOXy]

Nice, I didn't know this was possible. I was looking into providing my house with CAT6a cables and ethernet outlets when I found your video. Using this method I could probably connect 2 outlets together by connecting them on the patch panel, correct? Not sure if i'll ever need to do that, but hey! Learned something new, thanks!

[@Alex-kr7zr]

Not if you use a switch. You would need to patch them directly.

xmas decorations already lol .... are these effected by hdmi splitter boxes

[@Mymatevince]

I know!!!! My wife loves Xmas, I told her she had to wait until early December but you can see how much influence I have :-( If the Xmas lights were on it could possibly affect them but they were all off and I still couldn't get a signal at 30m. I think it is just because I bought the cheapest adaptors available from a UK seller, I might get some £20-£30 adaptors and see if the distance improves.

[@philsbbs]

Dear santa I would like ... I have been good lol

do they work over router network? transmitting signals?

You should try a repeater to see if you can go over that 15m limit.

Hey Vince, October 2019 now, I see HDMI over LAN with IR tx/rx for £30. Will this work thru powerline? And if so, what speed powerline?

[@will42345]

Yes it will work but varies on adapters and power line kit. I’m not sure about the speed but I know that hdmi over lan works through power line kits, I recommend TP-Link ones as I use them my self for my PC.

[@guyp3599]

@@will42345 Thanks Vince. I think I got my nomenclature wrong. I've been doing much research (including one of your recent videos) and found that there is a big difference between HDMI over Ethernet Cables (Cat5/6) and HDMI over IP, the latter being fine through powerlines but the former actually NOT working through powerlines. So can you confirm that this is the case? You seem to be the font of this kind of knowledge!

[@FishingMadDad]

hi whats the max length a hdmi cable can be ?i want to wall mount a tv and hide all the cables. thanks

[@leeguitarmcr]

Would you have success at 30mtrs if each adapter was powered? The attenuation will only travel so far, thus only having a clear picture at 15mtrs. You can run Cat5/6 upto 100mtrs usually without any problems (sheilded or not) if the signal is strong enough to travel from one end to the other.

u need 2 separate cable ethernet , they can never insert in the same switch or hub ,, if u have 2 socket in your wall ,, u need that they separate in the switch too , ( or have 2 switch separate for each cable ) and don't mix them with internet cable , it's must be isolated from internet cable or switch and so ...

[@Mymatevince]

Hi, yes, you can use USB extenders for the mouse and keyboard and these HDMI extenders to connect up your TV or get longer VGA or HDMI leads. The other option if your PC is already in another room and you want to access it in a new room is to use long HDMI leads or these HDMI extenders to get the picture onto a TV and then use Team Viewer or remote desktop on your mobile phone to control the PC in the new room. I will do a video on this last setup (with Team Viewer) in the next couple of weeks.

[@karl76uk]

You said something about HDMI IP is there anything that does everything in one kind of thing ? Have a box that you plug your Monitor USB devices in where the PC is and its over Ethernet or maybe Thunderbolt ? Thanks again !
