The E-link 60M HDMI KVM Extender over Cat-6 IR Extender with Audio is a device designed to extend HDMI, keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM) signals over a Cat-6 cable for distances up to 60 meters (roughly 180 feet). It allows remote control of a computer or device using a keyboard, mouse, and display (typically a monitor or TV) at a distance, making it ideal for situations where the device being controlled needs to be placed far away from the user.
Here are the key features typically associated with such a product:
Key Features:
HDMI Signal Extension:
- Extends HDMI video and audio signals up to 60 meters over Cat-6 cables.
- Supports high-definition video resolutions, typically up to 1080p.
KVM Functionality:
- Allows for remote control of computers or devices using a keyboard and mouse.
- Ideal for data centers, server rooms, or any environment where the user needs to control a computer from a distant location.
IR (Infrared) Extender:
- Allows you to send and receive infrared signals to control devices (such as a TV or AV equipment) at a distance.
- The extender is equipped with IR pass-through so that you can still control connected devices remotely (for example, to change channels or volume settings on a TV).
Audio Support:
- Provides audio extension alongside video, ensuring that both the HDMI video signal and the associated sound are transmitted to the remote location.
Cat-6 Cable:
- Utilizes standard Cat-6 cable, which is widely available and affordable, to transmit the KVM signals over a long distance.
- Cat-6 cable is capable of supporting high-speed data transfer with minimal signal degradation, making it suitable for the high-bandwidth requirements of HDMI video.
Plug-and-Play:
- Typically requires little to no setup or configuration, making it user-friendly.
- Simply plug in the transmitter to the source device and the receiver to the display and input devices.
