Product Features
Technical Overview
This extender employs advanced signal processing to maintain video integrity across extended cable runs. The transmitter accepts a single HDMI source and converts it for transmission over two RJ-45 network ports, while the receiver reconstructs the signal for output to a display. The system supports resolutions from 480p to 4K with full 60Hz refresh rates.
Network compatibility spans Category 5, 5e, and 6 twisted-pair cables, with maximum distance varying by cable quality: 656 feet with Cat6/6a/7, 328 feet with Cat5e, and 262 feet with Cat5. The integrated IR passback system operates across 20-60kHz frequencies, allowing remote control of source devices from the display location.

FAQ
What is the maximum distance this extender can transmit 4K video?
The Rocstor TrueReach extender transmits 4K video up to 656 feet (200 meters) when using Category 6, 6a, or 7 network cables. With Category 5e cable, maximum distance is 328 feet (100 meters), and with Category 5 cable, it's 262 feet (80 meters). These distances far exceed the limitations of standard HDMI cables while maintaining full 4K resolution at 60Hz.
Does this extender support HDR content?
Yes, the TrueReach extender fully supports HDR (High Dynamic Range) content transmission. It preserves HDR metadata when extending 4K signals, ensuring compatible displays can properly render the enhanced contrast and color gamut. The system maintains complete signal integrity for both HDR10 and HLG HDR formats across its maximum operating distance.
Can I control the source device remotely with this extender?
Yes, the extender includes comprehensive IR passback functionality. It features one IR input and one IR output on both transmitter and receiver units, operating across the 20-60kHz frequency range. This allows infrared remote control signals to pass bi-directionally between the source device and viewing location, enabling full remote control of media players, set-top boxes, or other source equipment.
What types of network cable does this extender require?
The TrueReach extender works with standard twisted-pair network cables including Category 5, Category 5e, and Category 6. For maximum distance performance with 4K signals, Category 6 or higher cable is recommended. The system uses two RJ-45 connections per unit (transmitter and receiver) to achieve its extended range capabilities while maintaining signal quality.
Is this extender compatible with HDCP-protected content?
Yes, the extender is fully compliant with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) versions 1.4 and 2.2. This ensures compatibility with protected content from sources like Blu-ray players, streaming devices, and cable/satellite boxes. The system maintains the encryption handshake between source and display, allowing legitimate playback of copyrighted material across extended distances.
What installation accessories are included with the extender?
The package includes mounting brackets for securing both transmitter and receiver units in equipment racks or behind displays. Also included are two DC5V/1A power adapters (one for each unit), IR blaster and receiver extension cables for remote control functionality, and a comprehensive user manual. These accessories provide everything needed for professional installation without requiring additional purchases.
