Product Features
Technical Overview
This HDMI over IP extender operates on a wired network infrastructure, utilizing a single RJ-45 Ethernet port to carry video, audio, and control data. It supports a maximum video resolution of 1920 x 1080 at 60Hz, ensuring crisp Full HD visuals for presentations, monitoring, and multimedia content. The device is specifically configured as a KVM extender receiver, meaning it is deployed at the display location to decode signals sent from a paired transmitter unit located near the source computer.
The technical architecture leverages standard IP networking protocols to achieve a reliable extension distance of 328.08 feet (100 meters), which is facilitated by Cat5e, Cat6, or higher-grade Ethernet cabling. This design eliminates the limitations of traditional HDMI cable runs, providing greater flexibility in system layout and reducing cable clutter and signal degradation over long distances.
Key Product Advantages
The SIIG CE-H26511-S1 extender receiver delivers several distinct advantages for AV integration projects. Its use of standard Ethernet cabling for extension significantly reduces installation complexity and cost compared to specialty long-haul HDMI cables. The integrated Power over Ethernet capability allows the receiver to be powered directly through the network cable, eliminating the need for a separate power outlet at the display location and streamlining deployment.
Long-Distance Reliability
Achieves stable Full HD video extension up to 328 feet over Ethernet, maintaining signal integrity for professional applications.
- Uses standard network cabling
- Minimizes signal loss
- Supports structured wiring practices
Unified Control Integration
Combines HDMI extension with RS-232 serial and infrared control pass-through, enabling comprehensive remote management of source devices and displays from a central location.
- RS-232 for device control
- IR for remote commands
- Consolidated signal path
Deployment / Use Cases
This HDMI over IP extender receiver is tailored for environments where computing equipment needs to be physically separated from display screens or user workstations. A common deployment is in conference rooms and boardrooms, where a central equipment rack houses the source computer, and this receiver is placed behind a wall-mounted display to deliver video and accept control signals without visible cabling.
Other typical use cases include digital signage networks in retail stores or airports, where media players are located in secure closets and content is distributed to multiple remote screens. The extender is also effective in control room setups for security monitoring or broadcast operations, allowing operators to place noisy or heat-generating computers in a separate server room while maintaining real-time visual feedback and control at the operator console.
Conference Room AV
Hide source laptops or PCs in a credenza or rack, extending HDMI and control to a ceiling projector or large display with clean, in-wall Ethernet runs.
Digital Signage Distribution
Centralize media players in a network closet and use Ethernet infrastructure to send high-definition content to displays in lobbies, hallways, or storefronts.
What's in the Box
The package includes all necessary components to deploy the receiver unit in an extension setup.

FAQ
What is the maximum distance this HDMI over IP extender can transmit video?
The SIIG CE-H26511-S1 extender receiver can transmit HDMI video, audio, and control signals up to 328.08 feet (100 meters) when using standard Ethernet cabling such as Cat5e, Cat6, or higher. This distance is achieved over the wired network connection between the paired transmitter and this receiver unit.
Does this extender require a separate transmitter unit to function?
Yes, this product is specifically the receiver unit of an HDMI over IP extender system. It must be paired with a compatible transmitter unit (typically sold separately) that connects to the source computer's HDMI output. The transmitter encodes the signal for transmission over Ethernet to this receiver, which then decodes it for the display.
How is the receiver unit powered?
The receiver is powered via Power over Ethernet (PoE). This means it receives both data and electrical power through the same RJ-45 Ethernet cable connected to a PoE switch or injector. This eliminates the need for a separate power adapter at the display location, simplifying installation and reducing cable clutter.
What video resolution and quality does this extender support?
This extender supports a maximum video resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, which is Full HD (1080p). It delivers this resolution at standard refresh rates, ensuring clear and detailed video quality suitable for presentations, digital signage, and monitoring applications over the extended IP network.
Can I control the source computer remotely with this extender?
Yes, the extender includes RS-232 serial and infrared (IR) pass-through capabilities alongside the HDMI extension. This allows you to send control commands from the display location back to the source device. For example, you can use an IR remote to control a media player or send RS-232 commands to adjust settings on connected AV equipment.
What type of network cable is required for installation?
The extender uses standard RJ-45 Ethernet ports and is designed to work with common network cabling like Cat5e, Cat6, or Cat6a. For optimal performance and to achieve the full 328-foot distance, we recommend using at least Cat5e cable with proper termination. The system leverages the existing network infrastructure, making it cost-effective to deploy.
