Product Information

Full details

The Lindy 100m Cat.6 HDMI 4K60, Audio, IR & RS-232 HDBaseT KVM Extender is designed for professionals needing to reliably transmit high-resolution HDMI signals, audio, USB, IR, and RS-232 control over long distances using a single Cat.6 cable. Its key benefit is seamless 4K60 signal extension up to 70 meters and Full HD up to 100 meters, with the added convenience of Power over Cable (PoC) and KVM functionality. A potential caveat is the requirement for high-quality Cat.6 cabling and potential distance reduction with intermediary devices.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum distance for 4K resolution with this extender?

The extender supports 4K Ultra HD (3840x2160) at 60Hz 4:4:4 8-bit resolution up to 70 meters when using high-quality Cat.6 U/UTP or F/UTP cable.

Can I use Cat.5e cable with this extender?

While Cat.5e cable might work for shorter distances and lower resolutions, it is not recommended for optimal performance, especially for 4K resolutions. For the stated distances and resolutions, Cat.6 or higher quality UTP/FTP cable is required. Using Cat.5e will likely reduce the achievable distance and video quality.

How does Power over Cable (PoC) work?

PoC allows the transmitter unit to send power to the receiver unit over the same Cat.6 network cable. This means you only need to connect the power adapter to the transmitter, simplifying installation by reducing the need for a power outlet at the receiver's location.

What types of audio are supported?

The extender supports ARC (Audio Return Channel) to send audio from the display back to the transmitter. It also allows for local audio extraction at the receiver and digital audio embedding at the receiver for source audio, supporting multi-channel audio formats.

Can I control my source device from the display location?

Yes, the extender features USB 2.0 ports at the receiver for connecting a keyboard and mouse, allowing you to control the source device remotely. It also supports bi-directional IR and RS-232 for control.

What happens if I use a wall plate or patch panel in the cable run?

Introducing passive components like wall plates, couplers, or patch panels between the transmitter and receiver can degrade the signal quality and reduce the maximum transmission distance. For the best performance, use a single, continuous run of high-quality Cat.6 cable.

Does this extender support HDCP?

The product information does not explicitly mention HDCP support. However, for professional HDMI extension, HDCP compliance is generally expected. Please refer to the official Lindy documentation for specific HDCP version compatibility.

What is the warranty period for this product?

This product comes with a 2-year warranty.

Troubleshooting

No video or audio signal is displayed.

Verify all HDMI and Cat.6 cable connections are secure at both the transmitter and receiver ends. Ensure the Cat.6 cable is of high quality (Cat.6 or higher) and within the supported distance limits. Confirm the source device and display are powered on and set to the correct inputs. Check that the power adapter is securely connected to the transmitter.

Poor video quality (e.g., flickering, artifacts, color issues).

The quality of the Cat.6 cable is critical. Try a different, known-good Cat.6 cable. Ensure the cable is not run near sources of electromagnetic interference. If using HDR, verify your source, display, and the extender are all HDR-compatible and configured correctly. Check if the resolution and refresh rate are within the supported limits for the transmission distance.

USB keyboard or mouse is not working at the receiver.

Ensure the USB devices are connected to the USB 2.0 ports on the receiver. Verify that the USB devices are functioning correctly when connected directly to the source device. Check the USB cable for damage. Try connecting a different USB device to rule out device-specific issues.

IR or RS-232 control commands are not working.

Confirm that the IR emitters/receivers or RS-232 devices are correctly connected to the respective ports on both the transmitter and receiver. Ensure the control signals are properly configured on the source and display devices. Verify the directionality of the IR/RS-232 ports matches your control setup.

The receiver unit is not receiving power (PoC issue).

Ensure the transmitter unit is powered on and the power adapter is securely connected. The Cat.6 cable must be a continuous run between the transmitter and receiver without any passive interruptions like wall plates or couplers that might interfere with PoC transmission. Verify the Cat.6 cable is of sufficient quality.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extends high-resolution 4K60 video up to 70m and Full HD up to 100m over Cat.6.
  • Supports HDR for enhanced visual quality.
  • Integrated KVM functionality for remote control of source devices.
  • PoC simplifies installation by reducing the need for multiple power outlets.
  • Bi-directional IR, RS-232, and Ethernet support for comprehensive control and network integration.
  • Secure screw-type DC power connector prevents accidental disconnections.

Cons

  • Maximum distance and resolution are dependent on the quality of Cat.6 cable used.
  • Using wall plates, couplers, or patch panels can reduce transmission distances.
  • Requires specific compression method (DSC) for 18G resolutions; ensure compatibility with other 18G HDBaseT devices.
  • Does not support resolutions beyond 4K60Hz.
  • Potential for reduced performance if non-Cat.6 or lower-grade cables are used.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Connect an HDMI cable from your source device (e.g., PC, Blu-ray player) to the HDMI input on the Transmitter unit.
  2. Connect a Cat.6 U/UTP or F/UTP network cable between the RJ-45 port on the Transmitter and the RJ-45 port on the Receiver unit. Ensure the cable is certified Cat.6 or higher for optimal performance.
  3. Connect your display device (e.g., monitor, projector) to the HDMI output on the Receiver unit.
  4. Connect USB devices (keyboard, mouse) to the USB 2.0 ports on the Receiver unit.
  5. Connect IR or RS-232 devices as required to the respective ports on both units for bi-directional control.
  6. Connect the included power adapter to the Transmitter unit's screw-type DC jack. PoC functionality will power the Receiver unit through the Cat.6 cable.
  7. Power on all connected devices. The Extender will automatically establish the connection.

Compatibility:

  • Supports HDMI signals up to 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 8-bit (70m) or 1080p@60Hz 4:4:4 8-bit (100m).
  • Requires high-quality Cat.6 U/UTP or F/UTP cable. Using lower-grade cables (e.g., Cat.5e) or different cable types will reduce the maximum transmission distance and potentially resolution.
  • Uses DSC (Display Stream Compression) for 18G resolutions; ensure any other 18G HDBaseT devices used in conjunction support the same compression method.
  • Compatible with USB 2.0 devices, including keyboards and mice.
  • Supports bi-directional IR and RS-232 passthrough.

Care:

  • Keep the units in a well-ventilated area to prevent overheating.
  • Avoid exposing the devices to direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, or high humidity.
  • Clean the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
  • Ensure all cable connections are secure and free from damage.
