Basicolor HDMI USB Extender With 4 USB2.0 Ports KVM Over Cat6/Cat6e Up to 262Ft(80m), HD 1080P Video Transmit Lossless and Near Zero Latency, POC Plug&Play HDMI to RJ45

I used this balun kit over a stranded Cat6A cable with 'ez-crimp' push-through RJ-45s, and INITIALLY got no video on a 160ft run. After swapping for a solid CAT6, and the RJ-45s for the 2 piece solid cable connectors, I still had no video... My monitor only had DVI-D connection and I was using an HDMI to DVI-D cable, and this ended up being my problem. After swapping in an old HDMI TV that supported 1080, I got a great video connection and was able to use the included cable to extend my Keyboard/Mouse/Flash memory. It took a while for me to figure out what I can and cannot connect, but the product works very well so far.

Works perfectly and was easy to set up. Only issue I had (no fault because of product) is that it's not compatible with 1600 x 900 resolution monitors. It still works for me but at a downgraded resolution (720p).On the upside has four usb ports which allow other usb devices.

We have an Oculus VR headset, which is lots of fun for whoever's using it, but, not nearly as entertaining for anyone else if you can't see what's going on. To solve this, we wanted to stream the Oculus display to our big TV.There are various ways to do this wirelessly, but, the Oculus itself is on WiFi and connected to a server at the other end of the house that helps with the graphic rendering. Trying to also send a hi-res display wirelessly to the TV would take too much bandwidth.Instead, we figured to use this HDMI-to-Ethernet adapter, as an additional monitor on the server, hardlined down to the TV. The trouble is, it's a loooong way given that there's no direct Ethernet connection between the rooms - both cables go via the network closet in the attic.So, we specifically looked for an HDMI-to-Ethernet adapter with a longer range than normal - 100 feet is common, but that wouldn't be enough. This one claims 262 feet which seemed plenty.And sure enough, it was! This device performed flawlessly - there wasn't even any configuration required. The hardest part of setup was finding the right cables in the network closet to connect end-to-end - note that, while HDMI-to-Ethernet extenders do use regular CAT5/6 cables, they don't use IP, and so can't go through normal switching devices. You can purchase end-to-end connectors though, easy and cheap solution.As soon as we had the various Ethernet cables connected to provide a through connection to the adapter boxes at each end, and used normal HDMI cables to connect from the adapter boxes to the server and TV... everything just magically set itself up. The TV saw a regular HDMI feed from a computer, and, the computer saw a regular hi-res HDMI monitor. Magic!The video quality was excellent, and, it's a 65-incher. Sound also came through just fine - the Oculus has a mic that can pick up the voice of whoever's using it. We did notice the sound to be slightly delayed, but, considering that it's being picked up by the Oculus mic, sent back to the server via WiFi, and only then sent to the TV via this gadget, I don't think it's fair to blame the HDMI-to-Ethernet extender. The video did not appear to be delayed at all.The excellent build quality of the adapter boxes is also worth a mention - it's commercial-quality machined aluminum, not cheap plastic. You couldn't ask for anything sturdier, and, it has mounting flanges so you can easily secure it behind the TV out of view if you care.Another interesting feature of this particular extender is the power-over-Ethernet. Both adapter boxes need power, and many other similar systems need separate power plugs for each end, which may not be convenient. This one only requires one end to be powered - it uses two of the wires in the Ethernet to send power to the other end. A small detail, but, one less gadget to lose or break.One other thing - this device has a USB hub, so, you could connect up a keyboard and mouse down at the TV end to control the remote server from there. We didn't need this, but I can certainly see how it would be useful.If you have a computer and a TV, and have a way to connect them using an Ethernet cable that isn't already in use for normal network traffic, this device is a no-brainer.

This review is for the Basicolor HDMI USB Extender 4 USB2.0 Ports KVM Extender.INSTALLATION/SETUPIt’s plug and play, and no extra drivers are needed. Instructions? What instructions!? Even though you don’t need them, the link to download a .pdf guide from their website doesn’t work. And cross your fingers if it goes south after the Amazon return period expires because you’re not going anywhere on the company’s cheaply made website.USABILITY/PERFORMANCEAfter testing, it did work as expected and better. Plug in the included power adapter into the transmitter unit (it’s marked with a TX), then whatever USB device(s) you want connected using the included cable and a CAT6/6e cable to the receiver and boom! You’ve got video! I plugged mine into a desktop computer using an HDMI cable and was able to use a wireless keyboard (I plugged the USB dongle into the receiver) and cast video plus sound to a 50” TV in my office in just a few minutes.QUALITY/RELIABILITYIt is well-built and hope its components are as good in the inside as it looks on the outside. In the few days I’ve been using it I haven’t seen any hiccups. This was a totally unexpected experience since I was planning to use it for something else and it worked so well that I switched my plan. I’m thinking of ordering a second to fulfill my original idea but, I don’t know if I want to pay its asking price.VALUE/PRICENow for the hard part. Is it worth the price as of this writing ($110)? Maybe. If you’re looking to control video, sound and connected and use it as a KVM like I am doing now, it’s a YES! KVMs have gotten very expensive now days. Now, will I pay that for what I was thinking of using for when I ordered it (that is to stream Amazon Video or something else to a projector in the patio), probably not!VERDICTAt the end because of lack of future support if it breaks, with the thinnest of margins between 4 and 5 starts, it’s 4 from me.
