The XTENDEX® 4K 18Gbps HDMI Extender Over IP via Fiber Optic Cable locates an Ultra-HD 4Kx2K 60Hz 4:4:4 HDMI display, audio, IR, and RS232 up to 24.8 miles (40 kilometers) away from an HDMI source using a single LC singlemode fiber optic strand or 1,640 feet (500 meters) using LC multimode fiber optic cable.


Each 4K 18Gbps HDMI Extender Over IP consists of a local unit that connects to an HDMI source and a local display via the HDMI loop output, and a remote unit that connects to an HDMI display. The local and remote units can be connected together for a Point-to-Point connection via Fiber Optic Cable or a Point-to-Many connection via a 10G SFP network switch. Support for multiple transmitters requires a managed 10G SFP network switch.

      • Up to 255 receivers supported.
    • It is not recommended to use any other network devices on this standalone network as it may cause degradation in performance.
  • Support for multiple transmitters (many-to-many connection) requires a managed 10G SFP network switch with IGMP support and Jumbo frame support. Standard LAN switches can only support one transmitter.
    • The managed 10G SFP network switch must support port-based IEEE 802.1Q VLAN.
    • Each VLAN acts as a separate HDMI Over IP Channel on the network.
      • Each VLAN channel supports one transmitter.
    • The number of local and remote units that can be used is dependent on the backplane bandwidth of the switch.
  • Plug and play installation allows receivers to find the transmitters automatically on the same subnet.
  • Local and remote units must be in the same LAN. The units do not support WAN connections.
