4K 18Gbps HDMI Extender Over IP via One LC Fiber Cable


The XTENDEX® HDMI Extender Over IP via Fiber Optic Cable transmits digital video, embedded audio, and IR signals up to 24.8 miles (40 kilometers) away from an HDMI source using a single LC singlemode fiber optic strand or 984 feet (300 meters) using OM3 LC multimode fiber optic cable.


Each HDMI Extender Over IP consists of a local unit that connects to an HDMI source and also supplies video to a local monitor, 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 network switch. Support for multiple transmitters requires a managed network switch.

  • Signal transmission via single-strand LC fiber optic cable.
    • Using singlemode 9-micron cable, extend to 24.8 miles (40 km).
    • Using 50-micron OM3 (or better) multimode cable, extend to 984 feet (300 meters).
  • Supports HDTV resolutions to 1080p.
  • Cascade network switches to extend the length longer distances.
    • Up to three switches can be cascaded.
  • HDMI features supported:
    • HDMI 1.3
    • 36-bit Deep Color
    • RGB, YCbCr 4:4:4, and YCbCr 4:2:2
    • LPCM
    • Bandwidth up to 4.46 Gbps
  • HDCP 1.4 compliant.
  • Full Infrared Remote (IR) control of HDMI source from remote HDTV using existing source remote control.
  • For a point-to-many connection, a standalone network with an unmanaged SFP network switch, hub, or router can be used instead of a managed SFP network switch.
    • Easily expandable. Add remote units as you add monitors.
      • Up to 253 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 SFP switch with VLAN support. Standard LAN switches can only support one transmitter.
    • The managed SFP 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.
    • 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.
  • Buffered HDMI input loop-through.
  • Built-in default EDID table.
  • Cables can be installed in conduit prior to extender installation.
  • Integrated mounting brackets for easy surface/wall mounting.
