I want to connect my smart tv to my modem for faster streaming. Will this device do the job?
Jeffrey D
on May 17, 2021
BEST ANSWER: This is an HDMI extension. It takes the video standard of HDMI and converts it to a cheaper cable so that you can have a source and display further apart than is normally practical. If you want better streaming, you just need to run a CAT5E or CAT6 patch cable between your modem and the TV.

no, this is a video extender not ethernet extender. You only use the ethernet cables to extend the distance from the source (cable box, dvr, DVD and such) to the monitor.

It sounds like you want to stop using WIFI and have a cable connection to you internet modem. You should need only need an Ethernet cable (Cat5e or Cat6).

Will this work with CAT6A cable?
A shopper
on Dec 18, 2023
BEST ANSWER: Yes. I used Cat-6 with these running video from Apple TV to two projectors. The difference between Cat-5,6 or 7 is how they are designed to prevent outside interference. The higher the number the less outside distortion. This is due to how they are insulated.

To clarify, this device requires 2 additional cat5e/cat6 cables just for the video.. your current cat 6 connection to your TV is completely different as it provides internet to the TV.. these 2 cables just extend the video.. no internet connection necessary.. in your case you will need all 3..

I would like to use this to put my computer in my media center closet. The only thing is I have dual monitors and two cat 6 wires running from the media center to the wall where I want to put my computer screens. Can I use a gigabit switch on both ends to increase the cat6 ends i have?
Mark B
on Jan 20, 2017
BEST ANSWER: This type of adapter does not use "Active" plugged in wires to a switch. It uses two cat5/or Cat6 cables to basically create one "Long Extended" HDMI cable. You would have to run (2) CAT5/6 cables to each adapter for each monitor. Or 4 Cable runs for your two monitor scenario. With only 2 cables you would only be able to extend 1 Monitor.

No you can't. These are passive baluns. They do not convert HDMI to Ethernet. They are only "splitters" that break out the HDMI cable and "splits the signal to the copper CAT wires.

As long as the 8P8C (RJ45S) connectors follow the B standard on both ends the cables should function the same as Cat6 or Cat5/Cat5e. However, be aware that the length limitations are inherent to the HDMI standard and not to the cabling. These are unpowered adapters and add no additional signal gain through the cable.

Why the limitation at 98 ft?
A shopper
on Jul 26, 2018
BEST ANSWER: It may be what it was tested at. I have a lot of these and am running them only about 40 feet and they aren't doing well. Sometimes they work and often they don't, and they don't pass HDCP so our faculty can't play movies from their laptops with them. I have removed them and put in a normal HDMI cable and that seems to be working for everyone.

Reason being is it will add resistance to the signal and has a high probability of not functioning properly or at all.

BEST ANSWER: Thank you for your question. It would not be recommended to extend from a converter. The added resistance on the signal could cause handshaking issues or cause too weak of a signal output. It would be best to use a powered converter or a more powerful extender such as our external powered HDBaseT extenders but it could possibly still run into issues. We do offer a 30 day return policy and you can return it should you try it out and it does not work.

Will this work to extend the HDMI cable for a PS3 and PS4? My TV is wall mounted about 25 feet away from a game entertainment center that houses all my game consoles, etc. The TV I have now only has 1 HDMI input, so I'm trying to run all the HDMI devices through a switch (using either a 4 foot or 6 foot HDMI cable from the device to the switch), then the output over a 30 foot HDMI cable to the TV. However, when trying to use the PS3 or PS4, all I get on the TV is a black screen. I moved the game center over to the TV and switched out the 30 foot HDMI cable from the switch to the TV and used a 6 foot cable instead and the PS3 and PS4 works. So I'm guessing the 30 foot cable is too long for the PS3 and PS4 signal. I'm thinking of trying to us a 25 foot which is the shortest I can use and see if that'll work. Will this extender boost or allow the PS3 and PS4 signal to reach the TV from the switch?
A shopper
on May 22, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Thank you for your question.
This extender is a bit old so it may have some issues with a PS4.
I would go with something like #24181 or an active cable if you are going 30'.
This extender is more recent and an active cable would have a chip inside of it that pulls extra power from your TV to get the signal to go farther.

BEST ANSWER: Hello, thank you for your inquiry. If there is only the one ethernet cable running from your living room to the basement, this product will unfortunately not work as it requires a total of two ethernet cables to send the signal. However, we do offer other units such as Product ID 14158 (attached) which will work over the single ethernet cable.

Monoprice BitPath AV HDMI over Ethernet Extender Kit
BEST ANSWER: Hello, thank you for your inquiry. If there is only the one ethernet cable running from your living room to the basement, this product will unfortunately not work as it requires a total of two ethernet cables to send the signal. However, we do offer other units such as Product ID 14158 (attached) which will work over the single ethernet cable.

Is this supposed to work for Macs? We bought a pair of these for a conference room but it doesn't seem to work with Macs via HDMI out. Seems to have handshaking issues b/c the Mac seems to detect something is attached and the display shows something gets connected but is unable to establish a stable connection.

BEST ANSWER: Yes it does but I also had handshake problems so I dropped these and have to monoprice’s power boosting HDMI cables. They have one that goes to 100 ft. I bought two at 75 ft. For my Apple TV and projector theater room and split it off to two othe TVs in different rooms. They work flawlessly and picture quality is fantastic no more handshake issue. So if you’re under a hundred feet go monoprice’s boosting HDMI cable.

Hi there,
Does this MST support dual-mode? Can passive HDMI adapters be used after the hub?
Also, can the signal be converted to HDMI and then extended over Cat5e?
My goal is to split a Dsiplayport signal into 4 HDMI signals over a long distance.
Thank you.

Monoprice HDMI Extender Using Cat5e or CAT6 Cable - Extend Upto 328ft
BEST ANSWER: Thank you for your question. The hub would support extended display. They were made to have a direct connection from the source device to a display so we cannot guarantee you can use an extender or converter with it.

Would cat 5e/6 patch cable sold by monoprice work? The documentation suggests cross cable, and I couldn't found any on the site?
Also if I plan connecting it to Product # 15379 which will be connected on the output of Product # 15373..?
Basically putting 3 different sources on 2 TV, which one being far from the sources.

You could use Cat 5e or Cat 6 cables with this device but we cannot guarantee this will work in the same run as our switches or splitters because they are not tested together.

Works well
I used these to transfer Apple TV HDMI to two projectors. I used Cat-6 cable. The distance was about 15' to each projector. These extenders worked wonderfully. Great picture. *(The only issue I had was one Cat-6 cable coming loose from one extender input. That might be due to the connector on the cable. I remedied the issue by taping the one cable to the extender box. My configuration was also in a tight spot as well, which caused some stress on the connection.)

Great HDMI Extender
Looks just like the photo. Ran two CAT 5e cables between the two boxes, plugged the HDMI cables to the set-top box and Samsung TV, and worked like a charm.

Worked like a champ.
This worked well for allowing my DVR to support TVs in separate rooms in the house. Because I could run ethernet cables in the basement, this worked well for me. I paired this product with an HDMI splitter and IR repeater to give full control of the source DVR from either room.

Need to extend your HDMI? Just buy them!
Use two Ethernet cables wired to T-568B standard and these extenders work great. Power comes from the HDMI port so no extra PS needed. Would buy them again.
