HDMI Extender Splitter 1x2, HD1080P@60Hz & 3D Visual, Extending 165ft (50m) Length Transmission Over CAT5e/CAT6/CAT7 Cable, 2 Channel Transmission with 2 HDMI Loop Out1

When I started looking for an HDMI extender to make playing my Xbox One on an additional television, I immediately became overwhelmed with options.Here are the basic divides among these devices assuming you are not looking at a wireless extender.General decisions include:1. Direct ethernet connection or connection through a network router or switch2. 4k or 1080p resolution and, within these, the refresh frequency.3. Compatibility with Cat 5, 5e, 6, or 7 (or some subset of these) ethernet cables.4. Remote control through the device or none.5. HDMI loop out on the transmitter or none.6. Sound quality (i.e. stereo vs surround sound)7. Each component powered or powered by the transmitter alone.8. One input to one, two, or many outputs.9. Length of wire to be used.10. Lag or no lag (related to whether the data is compressed or not).Prices for these ethernet cable based HDMI extenders vary from well under $100 to well over $500 and several different technologies are used. I point all of this out because you have to really know what you intend to do before making your choices. Otherwise, you will be disappointed or may spend more than necessary.Because I wanted to use my Xbox with this setup, the first consideration is that there be no lag. You can't fight bad guys if there is lag. If you are only watching TV or streaming, then lag is not an issue for you. I found that the descriptions on the various product pages were not always clear. The one thing I often found is that if there was no lag, you'd see it in the description. If there is lag, you will not see any mention or you will have to dig deep in the information to find it. In general, any of the devices that will work through your router or network switches WILL have lag where those that are "point to point" usually have none. Data compression and decompression is the main reason for the lag.After lag, I needed to be sure that my existing house wiring (10 year old Cat 5) would work. This meant that, though my televisions are 4k, I'd likely have to settle for 1080p. Most of the devices that support 4k are specific to say you need Cat 6 or Cat 7.The third consideration was an HDMI loop (i.e. an HDMI output on the transmitter) so I could continue to connect my Xbox to the television in the room with the Xbox.Beyond these considerations, I did not really care about the others on the list above...except for price.This kit meets all of my criteria. In fact, given that it will send to two different televisions and has two local HDMI outputs, it exceeds what I currently need. Note that this particular kit is sold under the AAO brand, but there are other identical ones sold under different brands.So, now that I know it meets the requirements...how does it work? Well, so far, it's flawless. Picture and sound are both just as good and just as fast (lagless) as the main television I play on. I don't know exactly how long my cable run is, but it's probably about 100 feet as it's not a direct path and, as I mentioned, it's old Cat 5 cable. I also ran a second ethernet cable across a room to a monitor and find that I can see the image on all three displays without any issues.As for the list of things I mentioned above, this kit is:1. Direct connect--no router or network switch can be used.2. 1080p @60hz.3. Works with any ethernet cable type (from my experience).4. Has NO provision for remote control.5. Has 2 HDMI loop outs on the transmitter.6. Sound quality is good. Can't say it's surround because I don't have that setup in my other room.7. Only power required is to the transmitter. The receivers are powered through the ethernet cable.8. Has one input that goes to two other devices through ethernet as well as the aforementioned two HDMI outs. So, technically, you can display on two local televisions and two remote televisions.9. Per description, will transmit up to 165 feet. I believe this is the combined length of the ethernet and HDMI cables for each of the two remote connections.10. As stated, there is zero lag. It's completely real time.Note that this kit comes with just the transmitter, two receivers, and the power connector only. There are no ethernet cables or HDMI cables included. Given the price and the fact that most people have cables lying about, this is probably not a big deal. If you don't have these, you will need two of each (assuming you already connect to your primary TV by HDMI now).All in all, I think this is a great deal and, for my uses, is perfect. I'll update this review as I use it more.Additional noteThe manual that is supplied with the kit is small...wallet-sized in fact. The info in it is minimal but helpful and there is nothing to setting up the devices. However, I find the warranty contained in the manual to be especially humorous and will quote it here verbatim:"The warranty time is one year and life long maintenance. During this period, any belongs to normal usage circumstance cause because of the product quality's problem of breakdown, our company will be responsible for giving free maintain."

Works great on 75 foot run over Cat6 cable. I have a covered patio with a roof but no walls. This has been outside under this cover for the last 3 years and still works great. Granted it is Southern California but it can get into the 30s at night in the winter and does rain periodically. Honestly I was surprised, I even bought the extended warranty because I was positive it would not last out there.

We were doing a Saturday Night prayer and worship at a Church downtown and needed to run an hdmi cable over 100 feet. Used this cat 5 adapter and splitter to run video to a monitor on stage and on in the back of the room for the singers. Also run signal to a third monitor on the control room desk to see what was going on the other screens Works great!!!

I've used this product several times and never had an issue with them. I do wish this product made one that went further.

Excelente producto. Funciona perfecto

HDMI splitters allows you to watch your monitor on multiple TV.

Really wanted this to work & for the price was really expecting it to work well with a 40 foot cat6 ethernet cable. After trying multiple HDMI cables & both of the included etgernet to HDMI extender modules it didnt work.It would ether drop in resolution(go from 1080p to 720p) or keep cutting off my display or just not display at all. Really wanted it to work & liked the idea of using cat6 ethernet to exdend HDMI display but it would simply not work the way I wanted it to. May eventually try a different type or brand but this one ain't it.

Quite please with these devices. I use them to send video from the security DVR to two other tvs at my store. The send box is great in that it splits the image for ethernet and also for the tv by the dvr all in one box. My old system required a box to split the hdmi into two, and then a box to convert hdmi into dual ethernet. One less box, means one less wall wart.Image quality is good. Device feels well put together with a metal casing. And it works.
