How to Install HDMI over CAT5e / CAT6 Ethernet Cables

- Hi, this video shows you how to use the HDMI over Ethernet Cable adaptors to extend a HDMI signal using CAT6 cables.
In the video I refer to 'HDMI over Ethernet' as most people call these cheap adapters that BUT really 'HDMI over Ethernet' would mean 'HDMI over IP' which is a different and more expensive product and these cheap adapters would be better called HDMI over twisted pair adapters or HDMI over CAT5E/6 adapters.
In the video I use them to connect up to a PC to TV and also a Roku media player to TV. They are useful if you already have network cabling in place or if you don't want to drill big holes to install the thicker HDMI plugs/cables. If you get good ones then they will work over greater distances than HDMI cables but the versions in the videos are the cheapest available and unfortunately the advertised distance of 30m did not happen so I used 15m Ethernet cables instead and they work very well. They are very easy to use and just work as soon as you plug them in. No drivers or downloads are needed.
Many thanks Vince - Навчання та стиль
Clever tech , never seen this before. Thank you for the video.
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!
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.
Thank you for your instructional video. Really enjoy all of your cabling videos.
Thank you :-)

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 👍
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!
Side note... do you think Cat5 cables will work just as well, as they are much cheaper?
Hi.. Were you able to get the item, and has it worked for you?

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! :)
Another craicin video Vince. Straight forward and to the point , no mombo jumbo.
A very useful video, thanks. You explained it in easy to follow manner.
Thanks mate... Brilliant video... following this guide, really helped.. :-)
Loved your video made me subscribe I had no idea what I even clicked but but I learned things good job breaking things down and putting out options and what they are good for 10/10
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.
Boner alert!
Hi do you think that if I want to get past the 15 metre length that a powered hdmi splitter will help.
Very informative, succinct, and to the point. Thumbs up and u got a new subscriber mate.
Good technical. THANKS
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?
Nice video, I bought a couple of the double ones but did not get them to work as I was testing with just one ethernet cable, good thing I didn't throw them away :)
what the hell?? i had no idea this was even a thing? fantastic cheers fella!
another excellent video and well explained 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Lee :-)

Oh my God thank you so much!!! Your video was incredibly helpful!
Hi
I have a lexcom cabled system which is a cat5 plus wire. Can hdmi be passed over this type of cable?
Thanks
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?
yesterday I bought the two-port adapter. I did a test with 50cm cat5e cables. I connected the TvBox with a PC monitor in full HD. No image. As soon as I connect it, I see the monitor light turns on, as if receiving "something", but then no image and the monitor goes into sleep-mode. If I disconnect and reconnect, the same behavior. Any ideas?
Excellent video thanks. I have a question, are these point to point only or can I use a switch in the middle? I'll like to connect the PC to the TV but my pc runs though a switch to access my media servers. Thanks..
Hi that's very useful video thank you for making .But i have one doubt that if i want two separate outputs for two different location TV from the DVR's HDMI port will this adapter work ?
Good job sir jiii
Great video, mate. Thanks
Thanks for the info I only need to go a meter from a HDMI source to a outdoor tv problem is I need to run everything in conduit to keep it water tight and I don't want to run a 1 inch conduit to be able to fit the hdmi plug
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.
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
I have, I used some 2nd hand (used) Lindy 50m versions and they worked amazingly. I didn't notice any lag. I haven't tested the cheaper versions though :-)
@@Mymatevince please call me
Excellent video, congrats for that. I have a question. Can I put some connectors on hdmi splitter outs to anothers TVs in? The larger distance required is 35 m. Thanks in advance!
Yes! Really useful video! Thank you very much!
Thank you I knew about HDMI over IP but didn't know this one sounds great if don't need to pass trough switch or router than you
Brilliant video thanks a lot
Is there any delay in the video and audio transmission to the television?
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.
if i am connecting my led tv through rj 45sum chanel hanging if iam connecting hdmi is fine i can use this converter for my tv
Great video do 2 of the smaller adapters fit next to each other on a standard powered small 2 output splitter and do you get any decrease in video quality through a powered 2 output splitter
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?
hi
i used the one that have 2 cable but i can't hear the video sound ?!
can you guess the problem ?
Very professional video. Thanks.
I want to ask a question, Can I use a ethernet switch with those？thanks for answering
Love your video. 😊 New Sub
How do you opperate the media systems as the remote will be to far?
please confirm about cross cable or straight cable
You would need straight cables.
@@Mymatevince please call me
I was just curious what happened if I wired the a router to the end of the Ethernet which it worked I got a app on my tablet and it recived the signal and since it had ports like if it goes to tv's and I wired all my tv's and if I wanted i could connect the signal to my devices and see and it sounds on believable but it worked
Good video. Any ideas why you need to run two network cables for the chunky sized ones?
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.
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.
Yes, it is not ideal so the other one in the video the more expensive single cable version would be better.
If you were installing the cables, would you terminate in 568b straight or crossover cable

Hi Vince,
would this work for my Hikvision Nvr to my tv to see the cctv.
My NVR is in the front room and my tv is in other room and the cat5e cable length is 20-25mtr.
I purchased the cat5e hdmi converter and it did not work, as it was without 12volt , it was from ebay.
I also need to connect to my other tv in my next door house , so my mum can see the cctv on her tv. This is about 30-35mtr.
So the question is would this work on both Tv.
I have cat5e cable all pulled from Nvr to the both tv, as I just need cat5e to hdmi concertgoer to connect to both TVs, by using the cat5e cable for signal and then 1 Transmitter on the Nvr and the receiver I don’t know how many I need, as one tv is in my next room and the other tv is in my mum house which is next door or you can just think it is another room.
The reason I am asking you these questions, so I don’t want to end buying the wrong item.
Many thanks if you can help and advice buying the correct product/item.

Install HDMI over CAT5e / CAT6 Ethernet Cables
BEST IDEA EVER tanks for sharing
This work for 4k?
Do you already know this answer? I also have this doubt. The tx adapter says in the specs that it runs on 4k.
great video, on another note I have noticed that newer tvs are dumping the scart plug and the cheaper dvd players still have scart plugs, would love if you did a video on hdmi cables to scart, thanks
remeber that all this hdmi spliters, hdmi ro rj45 things etc works better if they have 5v power options, some of them hace and works great
wood this work to get wired internet on my roku tv
THAK YOU
I 'm trying to connect it with Cat6 Strait Cable but it isn't working, would it work with cross Cat6 cable or any special type of Cat6 is required?
How long distance can fix the cat5 cable for single port?
Hey vince I love you man!
Good man, your deserve the heaven, good video, nothing is more util and simple to understand that a video, later i gonna talk with god and tell him that please put in first place
Nice video.
Do you know if this will handle 4k 60hz for 12-14 meters?
what if i want to use wifi router and repeater rather than using a long Ethernet cable? connect transmitting hdmi to ethernet adapter to router and connect receiving hdmi to ethernet adapter to a repeater that connected the same wifi, can i do that?will it work?
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!
Not if you use a switch. You would need to patch them directly.
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..
Thanks for the info :-)
freelife productions which extender are you using?
also they were alongside the tv power cable which is the main reason for distortion.
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.
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 ,,
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
hi whats the max length a hdmi cable can be ?i want to wall mount a tv and hide all the cables. thanks
useful video
Will 4k@60 work over Cat6 with these adapters?
If i connect CAT5e cable to switch from projector and computer connect to the same switch does it possible in this way to stream from computer to projector over lan in the same network ? And there is more class with this situation. it is possible by using this adapter connect all projector and computers to the same switch and make connection over lan, but how does it can be seperated, because in this video its connected directly to transmitter and receiver devices.
what is the differece between running 2 pink cables to 1 pink cable
I was moving my tv and broken my tv's network lan port! I use my hard wired network for NETFLIX, HULU, ETC. Can I run my RJ45 into a HDMI cable and connect to one of my TV's available ports? Will the HDMI connection accept the network data?
Thank you boss
If i connect to dvr from tv using this type, can i control dvr from tv which is connected.
Hey Vince dose the one cable hdmi convertor work plz take a video and send me plz.tnx
do they work over router network? transmitting signals?
Does it have to be a direct connection with cat6 or can you plug it into a cat 6 socket which is connected to a switch and pick it up off any other cat 6 socket in the house?
Does not work as this is just using the copper of the cable not the Ethernet protocol.
nice
Can you tell me where to buy the one cable converters? .
Hi mate. I have just bought the single port version. I'm running a 10 metre cat 6 cable to run 1080p to a tv.. not working. However if I use a 4 metre cat5e cable it works.. but I need 10 metres! The ad I bought it from said 1080p 30 metres with cat 6.. any thoughts?
What is the benefit?? instead of using a double hdmi adapter so 2 hdmi ports and not ethernet??
I bought the first one you showed with single rj45 and it didn't work at all.
not even over 6 feet of cable.
total dead
mine were blue
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.
nope Cat5e doesn't work good for HDMI extenders.. just blue screen... gets distorded or something..

Will Cat5e/6 support 4k at 25 feet?
Buenisimo!!
I used the hdmi/rj45 extender from a 2 port hdmi splitter to connect a tv 25m away, my tv keeps saying "unsupported signal".. any solution or remedy?
Nice, Mymate
Will this adapter work for a tv? I am trying to connect cat5 from my router to my tv, but I do not have Ethernet port on my tv so I am trying to use the adapter plugged into hdmi port on my tv.
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 .
is necesary to use 2 utp cable?
Hi, great video! Could you specify what is the single cable product you tested? I could not find any single passive one like that.
Hi, thanks, that looks like the same product :-)
@@Mymatevince please call me
Is there a difference between cat5 and cat5e? I used a cat5 cable and it doesnt work. Im worried if i buy another ethernet cable and waste money on another set of cables.
clever but how do you account for using a remote (such as a roku remote) when the box is in another room?
Lol
Can u use this using power walls ?
Hey mate nice video but what is the downside of using that extender?
Does anyone know if this kind of adapter works with a 1080 camera to a computer?
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.
is that realy the only way to use it? because i was planning to put the transmiter from my pc to the router and then lan ethernet from router to laptop so i can turn my laptop into spacedesk extender monitor.
Is it suitable for 1080p 60fps gaming?
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?
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.
@@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!
I thought the first one is for spliting signals to two different receivers. Why use two cat6 cables?
