UGREEN HDMI over Ethernet Extender 50m

The UGREEN HDMI over Ethernet Extender transmits high-definition video and audio signals up to 50 meters using standard Cat5e/Cat6 Ethernet cables. This two-unit system allows students to connect presentation sources to distant classroom displays, while business users can route HDMI signals across conference rooms, lecture halls, or office spaces without signal degradation. It’s an ideal solution when you need to bridge the gap between HDMI devices separated by significant distances.

Key Features & Benefits

• 50-Meter Long-Distance Transmission: Extends HDMI signals up to 164 feet through a single Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for expensive long HDMI cables that suffer from signal loss.
• 1080p Full HD Quality: Maintains crisp 1920×1080 resolution at 60Hz across the entire cable run, ensuring presentations, videos, and training materials display with clarity and detail.
• Plug-and-Play Setup: No software installation or network configuration required. Simply connect the transmitter and receiver units with an Ethernet cable, then plug in your HDMI devices to start transmitting immediately.
• Cost-Effective Cable Solution: Uses affordable and readily available Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cables instead of specialized long HDMI cables, reducing installation costs and simplifying cable replacement if needed.

Use Cases & Applications

For Students and Educational Settings

The UGREEN HDMI extender solves common classroom challenges where the presentation laptop sits at the instructor’s desk but the projector mounts on the ceiling or far wall. Students presenting capstone projects or thesis defenses can control their presentations from the podium while the display sits across the lecture hall. The 50-meter range covers most standard classrooms, seminar rooms, and small auditoriums.

This extender also benefits student organizations running events in multipurpose spaces. Set up a media station in a control area while the main display serves the audience, using existing Ethernet infrastructure or temporary cable runs.

For Business Professionals

Conference rooms and meeting spaces frequently require displays positioned far from source equipment. The UGREEN extender allows you to install a clean, professional setup with the computer or media player hidden in an equipment closet or under a conference table. This reduces cable clutter and protects equipment while maintaining full HD quality.

Business training environments benefit from the IR remote extension feature. Instructors can advance slides or control playback from the front of the room while the laptop remains at a control station. Digital signage installations in retail or corporate lobbies also leverage this technology to position media players in secure back-office locations.

Installation Considerations

You’ll need to supply your own Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cable between the transmitter and receiver units. Cat6 cables provide better shielding and are recommended for installations near electrical interference sources. Use straight-through wired cables, not crossover cables.

The system requires power at both the transmitter and receiver locations. Ensure you have power outlets available at each end, or plan for extension cables. The included UK power adapters work with 230V mains voltage.

Important Technical Notes

This HDMI extender transmits video and audio signals reliably for presentations, digital signage, and standard media playback. However, it may not support HDCP 2.2 protected content from certain streaming services. For business presentations and educational content, the UGREEN HDMI over Ethernet Extender provides dependable performance across typical installation distances.
