Frequently Asked Questions - HDMI Wall-Plate Extender Kit MuxLab

What is the maximum distance supported?

Up to 1080p at 230 ft (70 m) or 4K at 131 ft (40 m) over Cat5e/6 cable.

Can I use this extender with a wall plate?

Yes, the kit is designed as a wall-plate extender and fits a standard single-gang back box (minimum 1.97 in depth).

Is the extender compatible with 4K video?

Yes, it supports 4K resolution (3840x2160) at 24/25/30 Hz over distances up to 131 ft.

What type of cable is required?

A single Cat5e or higher unshielded twisted pair (STP recommended in noisy environments) with straight-through wiring (EIA/TIA 568A or B).

How do I power the transmitter and receiver?

Use the included 5 VDC power adapters. Connect power first to the receiver, then to the transmitter. Both green LEDs should light up.

Why is there no image on the display?

Check that both Power LEDs are on. If the Sync LED is off, verify cable wiring continuity and correct pinout (straight-through). If both LEDs are on, cycle power of the extender and source/display.

Does the extender support IR control?

Yes, bidirectional IR is supported. Use the included IR sensor (stereo plug) and emitter (mono plug) for remote control pass-through.

Can I extend HDMI beyond 230 ft?

No, the maximum specified distance is 230 ft (70 m) for 1080p. Longer distances may cause signal loss or flickering.

What should I do if the image flickers?

Ensure your HDMI cables are certified and within 6.6 ft (2 m) per end. Reduce overall Cat5e/6 length or use STP cable to minimize interference.

How do I clean the wall plate extender?

Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe the surface. Do not use any liquids or cleaning sprays as they may damage the electronics.

HDMI Wall-Plate Extender Kit (500451-WP-US)

Quick Installation Guide

Overview

The HDMI Wall-Plate Extender Kit (500451-WP-US) allows HDMI equipment to be connected up to 230 ft (70m) @ 1080P via one (1) Cat5c/6 unshielded twisted pair cables in a point-to-point configuration. The kit comes with one (1) Transmitter and one (1) Receiver.

Applications include; commercial and residential AV systems, classroom projector systems, digital signage, boardroom systems, collaborative PC systems, medical information systems.

Pre-Installation Check

Identify the connectors on the Transmitter (Source side) and Receiver (Display side). The Source side has an I1DMI In connector. The Display side has an I1DMI Out connector. Both products have two LED indicators for Power and RJ45 Sync, IR Sensor and Emitter and a Power Supply connector.

Installation

Verify that the distance between the HDMI Transmitter and Receiver are within MuxLab specifications (see Specifications table).

1. Identify the pin configuration of the baluns. The pin configuration follows the EIA/TIA 568A/B standard. The HDMI Wall-Plate Extender Kit is reverse polarity sensitive. Please ensure that wiring is straight through (Ring to Ring, Tip to Tip).
2. To install the HDMI Transmitter or Receiver in a single back box, choose a back box with a depth of 1.97" (50 mm) or more or a mud ring. Connect the RJ45 plug into the rear of the extender. Secure the extender with the 2 front screws.

In order to install the Transmitter, please follow the steps below:

1. Connect the Transmitter to the HDMI video source with an HDMI compliant cable.
2. Connect the Cat5e (or higher) grade UTP cables to the RJ45 Link connectors on Transmitter.
3. Connect the Receiver to the HDMI display equipment with an HDMI compliant cable.
4. Connect the Cat5c (or higher) grade UTP cables to the RJ45 Link connectors of the Receiver.
5. Connect the 5 VDC power supply first to the Receiver and then plug the power supply into an AC power outlet. Then connect the 5 VDC power supply to the Transmitter and plug the power supply into an AC power outlet. If power is present, then the green power LED of the Transmitter and Receiver will be ON.

Note: Power the HDMI Wall-Plate Extender Balun only after all connections are made.

1. Power on the HDMI equipment and verify the image quality
2. This product support bidirectional IR Control.

Note: You can differentiate the IR Sensor and the IR Emitter by looking at the 3.5 mm plug. The IR Sensor is using a Stereo Plug (3 Contacts) and the IR Emitter a mono plug (2 Contacts).

1. Position the IR Sensor so that it is directed to the hand-held remote control. For a clear IR signal reception, aim the hand-held remote control to the top of the IR Sensor enclosure.

2. Position the IR Emitter as close as possible to the source's IR Sensor (i.e. DVD player). For a clear IR signal reception, the IR Emitter can be glued on the source's IR Sensor. The IR Emitter's signal is transmitted from the side of the enclosure.

3. The following diagram shows the final configuration.
