KVM cable

Start by assessing distance, desired resolution, and the devices you’ll connect. For 4K at 60 Hz over long distances, a 4K 120M KVM extender over CAT5e/6 is recommended for up to 120 meters. If you need 4K extension up to 120 meters, ensure the setup supports 4K*2K and uncompressed audio formats. For ultra-long reach, a 200-meter over IP extender provides remote display and control with high-quality H.264 compression.

CAT5e/6 extenders transmit HDMI and USB signals over copper cables and are great for fixed installations over shorter to mid distances, supporting features like 4K at 60 Hz and USB keyboard/mouse extension. IP-based extenders send signals over networks, enabling longer distances (up to 200 meters) with network efficiency and H.264 compression for stable performance, suitable for professional AV setups and IT environments.

These extenders are designed to work with PCs, laptops, and other HDMI-enabled devices. They support remote control via USB keyboard and mouse, and many models include audio outputs and IR control. Compatibility also extends to devices that require HDMI 1.4/HDCP1.4 signaling, ensuring a broad range of consumer and professional equipment can be integrated.

Video quality is supported by 4K 60 Hz transmission and, in some models, high-bandwidth HDMI signaling with HDCP compliance. Audio can be uncompressed LPCM or compressed formats like DTS/Dolby Digital. Control is enhanced through USB keyboard/mouse extension and IR support, plus local loop-out on TX/RX units to monitor signals locally, improving reliability in conference rooms and classrooms.

Absolutely. Professional AV and IT settings benefit from IP-based extenders and CAT5e/6 solutions that extend beyond typical HDMI runs. The IP kit provides transmitter and receiver units with HDMI, USB, and LAN ports, designed for control centers and meeting rooms. Such systems offer reliable long-distance connectivity, easy installation, and scalable layouts for corporate or educational environments.

A single CAT5e/6 cable is typically used to extend signals, replacing bulky HDMI cables. Some kits include power adapters and basic accessories; others require separate sourcing of appropriate cabling. It is important to confirm that your chosen extender supports USB mouse/keyboard and IR control if those features are needed, and to ensure proper power supply where required.
