MonopriceHDMI Over CAT5E / CAT6 Extender Wall Plate (Pair) - Single Port (1P) - White

Works great. Connected my older laptop to my flatscreen across the room. Ran cat 6 through attic and walls...about 33 feet of wire for each run...66 feet total for the pair. Fired right up... Pitfalls to stay away from: each plate serves a purpose and they are not interchangable, meaning that the source side (laptop) must connect to the transmit plate and the receiving side (tv) receiving plate. Also label your cable runs so you can eliminate getting them mixed up....they must not be crossed between plates..else it won't work....I also made my own cables, which I used to suck at doing..but after some practice, I have gotten quite good. If you are going this route, buy the rj-45 connectors that you can pull the wires through the jack on, and buy a $15 cable tester...removes the guesswork...

I can understand the frustration that so many have expressed in these reviews. I certainly had my share of problems. But it wasn't because the product doesn't work. Rather, it was because of the requirement to put in the RJ-45 connectors. I needed 4 of them so I purchased a packet of 25. I think I have about 8 left.The first problem was one of the cables had been cut. That took 2 or 3 extra connectors. The second problem was I mis-read the instructions for the TIA/EIA-568B wiring. Pin#3 is suppose to be green and white, but my pattern matching brain saw pin4 as solid blue and pin6 as solid green so it just made sense that pin3 would be blue and white and pin5 would be green and white. Interestingly this works for an ethernet connection. Anyway I figured it out (that I had the wrong pins) -- throw out 4 more connectors.As an aside, you MUST use a crimping tool ($50 at Home Depot) for these connectors.I wired it up according to the 568B spec. (BTW the ethernet connection, subjectively, came up much, much faster). One cable passed the ethernet test, the other did not. I had suspicions that the problem was the last connector I put in because when I crimped it, there was a "snap" as if plastic was breaking. There was no evidence that was the case. So, I drove down to Home Depot and picked up a Klein tester. ($54). It confirmed that my first cable had good connections and that pins 1/2 on the second cable were open. While it may seem silly, the best part of the Klein tester was that it loops back all the circuits. So after I cut off the (assumed) broken connector, I was able to use a multimeter (OHM) tester to ensure that -all- the wires in that cable were still working.I replaced the (assumed) broken connector. That passed both the Klein test and the ethernet test (meaning I hooked up a PC on one end and a bridge on the other and the ethernet came up). So I hooked up the wall plates. No Joy. I jiggled everything around a bit and Wala!So, why did jiggling help? Is it the connectors or the wall adapter which isn't to tight enough specs? Another contender is the Klein crimping tool. I found after crimping that the connector latch had been squeezed. I had to gently pry the latch up so it would lock into place. (I've had this problem with lots and lots of connectors over the years.) Was it the Klein tool that squished the latch? Or was it poor QC on the part of the connector manufacturer.I got my connectors at Home Depot, the brand name is "Ideal". Each connector is 3 parts: a "sled" that sets the 4 wire pairs into quadrants; a "liner" with a "funnel fin" which aligns the untwisted pairs; and the plug itself. The "liner" requires a lot of patience, and a lot of beer, to get into place correctly. One has to individually straighten each wire, the properly align them, then ensure you are putting the "liner" on right side up; and finally try to get all 8 wires into the "liner" at the same time. Now you can use the next 15 minutes trying to get the "liner" to slide down to the right place. Once in place and the excess wire trimmed, installing the plug and crimping it is rather straight forward (although as I mentioned above, you can mess it up if you don't put it into the crimping tool correctly.)There are other brands of RJ-45 available. If you purchase this product, consider purchase of the self-crimping style.On the other hand, you might just decide to buy the Tripp-Lite product that allows you to insert your wires without having to use an RJ-45.It costs twice as much, but consider the amount I had to spend on the tools to use the mono price system.Now that I have it installed though, I'm wondering if it is going to be useful in the long run. I have a number of other cat-6 cables in the wall with the idea being that I would use IR repeaters for remote control from another room. I haven't that many mounting boxes. (sigh)My set up uses an Apple-TV and a Mac-Mini as HDMI sources (yes the mini is problematic since it is only DVI) connected to a Radio Shack 2 to 3 HDMI splitter. I just wanted the same video in the living room and the kitchen so I wouldn't have to turn up "Rachael Maddow" so loudly while dinner was being prepared. I totally over engineered the cable installation. (too many cables is always a better option).My only complaint is that the sound from the kitchen is delayed by just enough to notice it (you can hear it in both the kitchen and living room). Maybe I should get a long HDMI cable and coil it to the back of my main TV? I believe that since we can now turn down the volume in both rooms, this won't be a problem. (Hoping anyway)The receivers are both Samsung TVs. A 60" and a 24". The picture on the 24" (remote over the cat6 cable) looks as good to me as if it was directly connected.

The picture fades in and out& it gets bright &then dark not sure if it is the right one

I wasn't sure how this would work, and it worked flawlessly. I installed the wall mount upstairs, and the 2nd one downstairs. I now run a 6' HDMI into the wall plate from my PS3 upstairs, the signal converts into two separate cat5 runs for about 40' to get to the other plate mounted downstairs at my projector. The 2nd plate then has another 6' HDMI run out of it into the projector. Image looks great, just like the source.Easy to install, and easy to use!!!

I was looking to connect my HDTV to my computer for streaming movies and content. I used two cat6 cables to try and get the best signal possible from a distance of 50ft. Both units lights turned red and the tv flashed a few times and then showed no signal. I checked connections and tried again. Then brought computer to tv and connected the same cables direct and had no problem connecting. So that means the extender was the issue. The items seem like a great idea. They may work in some instances but for me they would not. The item is not very expensive but if it states it will deliver a signal nearly 100ft. Then 50ft should be well within its range. Will toss them in a drawer with the rest of my electronic garbage.

Me ha funcionado de maravilla, su instalación es sencilla, y cumple con lo que promete.

These work great. I bought them to do away with wires snaking across the floor, works prefect. I would recommend this to anybody.

Good product. Solves the headache if sending hdmi signal over a long distance of 10-12 mtr.

These baluns do not work as intended. Installed with shield STP CAT6 they do not transmit enough signal over 20M of twin CAT6 cable. Also they are US standard fittings and require US 48mm deep back-boxes (not available from Amazon UK). The performance was awful, even after checking cabling again (I work with CAT6 all the time) just in case I had messed up a termination. The wiring was run through and empty void with no power cables or other interferences around. They simply did not have the strength to boost the HDMI signal. They were changed for a different make of balun (supplied by Amazon & Maplins) www.amazon.co.uk/Extender-Booster-Network-Transmitter-Receiver-/dp/B00K6BC696/ which worked perfectly over the same cables. The pity is these units are the only surface mounts I could find at the time in the UK - many HDMI baluns/extenders are standalone and not designed for wall mounting, so sticky pads were required for the replacements! A lot of time was wasted trying to get these to work and ultimately they have been returned. Furthermore the description doesn't warn that the connecting cables need to be less than 5M in length & minimum 24AWG. The replacements worked fine with Amazon Basics HDMI leads!

Works well
