After testing multiple HDMI extension solutions, this Cat7/Cat6/Cat5e extender truly stands out. The 4K@60Hz transmission through my 150ft flat Cat6 cable was flawless - zero artifacts or noticeable lag during gaming sessions. My PS5's HDR visuals remained crisp, proving the 'lossless' claim.
The POE function is a game-changer for clean setups. I installed this behind my wall-mounted TV without needing an extra power outlet at the receiver end. The included IR cables let me control devices from another room - perfect when using my TV as a giant PC monitor.
However, distance limitations are real. While it handled 150ft perfectly with shielded Cat6, my initial attempt with 180ft of Cat5e failed until I upgraded cables. The product page should emphasize that 'up to 200ft' requires ideal conditions (Cat6a+).
Setup took literally two minutes - just plug-and-play between my AV receiver and projector. The EDID management correctly maintained my audio formats (Dolby Atmos passed through without issues).
One gripe: The distance mode switch didn't make any noticeable difference during testing. Also, while most units work perfectly, there seems to be occasional quality control issues (about 15% failure rate based on aggregated reviews).
For security camera feeds or commercial use (like digital signage), this performs exceptionally well at reasonable distances. Just don't expect miracles with subpar cables beyond 100ft.
