Basicolor HDMI USB Extender 2 USB2.0 Ports KVM Extender Over Cat6/Cat6e Up to 262Ft(80m), HD 1080P Video Transmit Lossless and Near Zero Latency, POC HDMI KVM Extender Plug&Play HDMI to RJ45

THE PROBLEM: I wanted to have a separate desk set up in another part of my house, but I did not want to remove my existing desk setup. I also did not want to build another computer (the computer at the original setup is brand new). Since I had used thunderbolt docks in the past, I had figured it would be "easy" to just run a long thunderbolt cable from the computer to the new setup in the other room. I quickly realized that to implement that, it would cost at least $400 (without the dock). Other solutions included a fiber run with an expensive dock. I had wanted a cheaper solution and was willing to give up some features.THE SOLUTION: I had initially purchased a different brand's HDMI USB KVM over Ethernet but found that it did not support USB 2.0 devices. Most devices today need at least USB 2.0 support to work. I returned it and found this set and decided to try it. It worked great. Using a 150ft Cat 8 cable, I was able to see my computer at the new set at 1080p60 and could plug in a USB mic with audio out and a USB 2.0 hub with a Logitech unifying receiver and an Xbox controller. You only need to power ONE of the boxes, and the other box will be powered with the ethernet cable. I have an HDMI Bi-directional switch that allows me to switch the one HDMI signal from my computer between the Original Setup's monitor, and the New Setup's monitor (So only one monitor is active at a time).With this unit, I can get Audio, Video, and Input from/to my computer. I have had no issues with these devices. This device supports display audio through HDMI, but I have never tried/used it. These units get warm, but not any hotter than a typical Wi-Fi router. I have done some casual gaming (Battlefield IV, CSGO, COD, NFS Heat) and it is responsive. I am sure that there is some latency, but I have not felt a difference. If you are reading a portion of text that is small and crowded, you may notice some artifacts (blurring) of that portion of the screen. There also seems to be some form of ghosting that appears when mousing over on a solid color (grey) background. I have not seen any artifacts while gaming. If you plug a device that needs charging or power, like a phone, tablet, or hard drive, I have issues where it disconnects due to excessive power draw. I would recommend plugging those devices directly into the computer instead. The last issue I have seen is where the device will only transmit HDMI signals and not USB. this usually occurs if there is a brownout or a temporary blackout. The solution is just to unplug and plug the unit from power. It is not a common occurrence, but I would make sure that the power brick is attached to the most accessible unit (in my case it was the transmitter TX side).TLDR: This device is worth it! If you want your device in two places at once, this is the best solution. Because the unit encodes and decodes its packets separately from the device, it should be compatible with PCs, Game Consoles, Security DVRs, and more. Also, please use a CAT 7or CAT 8 cable. while not written anywhere, I am sure that most connection issues people have stemmed from them using a lower-class cable. CAT 8 cables are not much more than CAT 5e...

I'm so excited when I got it to work! It was worth the money and sweat and attic crawling.I already had cat5e wire running from my router to the TV, and it worked fine for internet but didn't work with this. I tested it with brand new spool of cat6 cable and it worked. So I just had to replace the old wire which was an ordeal because my attic isn't meant for humans save Spiderman. But I managed it by duck taping the new wire with the old wire and pulling it up and over through the attic. I almost lost consciousness and died from the heat and hyperventilation from contorting my body through inhuman obstacles (crappy crappy builders!) but it was so worth it.The specs say that it's supposed to work with cat5 and cat5e, so I was disappointed that it didn't work. However the cat5e wire that I had up there was excessively long and old, so that could be the reason. Word to the wise, if you are planning to place new wire, test it with the wire you are planning to use first, before you do any attic crawling or wall fishing. Installing the Cat6 was the hard part, but adding this device was super easy and it works like a miracle.

USE THIS ITEM TO HELP WITH OUR CHURCH STREAMING AND IT DOES WAS IT WAS DESIGNED TO DO. REV. AL

I had to transport an audio stream and a Camera feed + HDMI approx 40 ft. I could read that the USB audio was connected bit could not actually receive the stream. I was bale to get the Cam feed for the first 15 minutes, and the HDMI signal kept cutting out. This went past the 30 day return unfortunately as it took some time to install the rest of the system and troubleshoot this portion of it. None of these units (I bought 4 kits) worked in any presentable fashion. I just purchased 2 of the better Basicolor units that claim higher performance but are more costly and claim a 100M range. I have re-arranged the system components to enable using only two kits. I will be sure to test these within the 30 day return time. Again, all I need is 40 ft and I'm using all CAT6A shielded cable and shielded connectors.Buying Chinese electronics can be a crap shoot. Many items are quality enough, but I read all the reviews and the reviews for this item gave me a much better impression for the quality, but it simply wasn't there. Live and learn.

This is a great gadget if it solves your specific need. The wings can be bent (a few times) to mount the thing in a different orientation. It does NOT fit a VESA mount pattern, so you can't just bolt it onto the back of a monitor.If you plan to use a USB Hub on the client side because you have more than just 2 USB devices to plug in... Do yourself a favor and buy a different power supply. The box comes with only 1 power cord which you need at either end (not both), but I found that the 0.5A supply was not enough when i wanted to plug in a third device. The result is that the entire unit doesn't have enough power, so you don't get video or usb connections, or that the USB connection goes in and out but video won't activate...or some other really weird stuff. I swapped out a spare 1.5A supply from a Western Digital MyBook hard drive and now it immediately works again. i think the picture quality might even be improved over what it was originally.

I'm using this between my server in the basement and my actual tesmart KVM upstairs. it worked right from the start. the keyboard and mouse work without issue and the hdmi video signal is solid. I am using a single usb connection between the tesmart kvm and the Rx unit.I was able to connect the Tx unit to a second hdmi output on the server video card. you might need an hdmi splitter if your source pc needs a monitor as well.I have tried the cheaper hdmi kvm units but the keyboard and mouse did not work through my tesmart kvm.One benefit of this unit is the ability to supply power at either end. I use the power at the Rx end. This would allow me to reboot the connection right from my desk.I highly recommend this product.
