Handles a decent cable run over Cat5e without any signal drop or degradation!

This item works well and only costs a fraction of other units. I use it to connect my signal to my projection TV.

Working perfectly planning to get more soon

First off; I've used Monoprice HDMI over ethernet extension kits before so I have experience w/ these types of product. The product feels sturdy and is easy to hook up. However, the major issue w/ this is that you need an ethernet cable DIRECTLY connecting the Tx and Rx modules. This is 100% confirmed by me wasting hours trying to connect these via in wall/house wiring via a stand-alone Netgear switch. Nothing else was connected to this switch and it is a closed off network just for these 2 devices. While the Tx had a power LED, it would NOT send power to the Rx. I then tried connection via a TPLink Powerline Kit. Same results as the other attempt. I then had both devices side-by-side connected via a Cat5e cable and viola, red power LED's on both. Here's the problem; if I had the ability to directly connect the source to a display in another part of the house, I would've just run a damn HDMI cable myself and never bothered w/ this kit. Those aforementioned Monoprice kits...they were able to 'talk' over a powerline network. To design an 'extension' product but the require it to use a direct cable connection is just idiotic b/c most people would just run a cable if they had the access to do so. A complete waste of 2 hours that I will never get back. Thanks to the product engineer for designing such an illogical product.

Good quality high recommend

I actually have a lot of experience with J-Tech products at work. I grabbed these for home use. The pair comes with the power supply, which attaches to the transmitter side. These are a fantastic product, and remarkably compact, which I like. The power adapter is 5v DC at 1.0A, and it uses a barrel connector instead of a mini or microUSB.One possibly important feature these lack, probably due to their size, is an HDMI passthru on the transmitter. That means if you connect this to an HDMI source, the only destination you have is at the other end of this pair. Depending on your application, this might be a deal-breaker. I run it on an HDMI splitter, so it doesn't matter in my case.

I've been looking for video extenders that provide low latency, lossless transmission over a long Ethernet cable, without it being HDBaseT-based (for cost reasons), and this ticks those boxes. However, this thing has some flaws.Firstly, the good: Does it pass 1080p video and audio faithfully? Yes, it does.It also does have only one power connector, at the transmitter end, and passes power to the receiver over the Ethernet cable. Many more expensive solutions have power connections on both ends, so this is a nice plus, saving one power outlet on the receiving end.Now, to the bad: Does it do much of anything else? No. At least, not reliably.As you can see in the report, it can kinda sorta pass 4K24/30, and it also has trouble at resolutions below 1080p. Either one threw errors. This result was pretty repeatable.It also doesn't pass the hot-plug signal from the TV back to the video source (it just always says something's connected to the source). This can be a problem if HDCP comes into play, because the TV won't be able to let the source know there's a problem.The EDID (the data a TV sends to a source to let it know what it supports) doesn't get passed from the TV at all. It just reports that it's a certain type of TV, no matter what, even if nothing is connected on the other end. That TV supports:- 1080p60 (8 bit per component only - though the listing lists Deep Color, it does not work through this, because the EDID does not declare support for it. Maybe that's a bug, because it does pass through Deep Color. Shouldn't need to put an EDID fixer in front of this to get it, though.)- 3D 1080p24 (but not 3D 1080p60, or any other timing) -- probably OK for theatrical 3D Blu-Rays, but not for anything else 3D, despite 3D being advertised on the box- And a bunch of PC timings, many of which I suspect will not actually pass through this extender correctly, based on the other results.So, if you're sending exactly 1080p through these, it's pretty reliable and I didn't run into any trouble throughout my testing. If you send much of anything else, expect sparkles in the video at best, and maybe flickery or no video otherwise. That being said, it's advertised solely as extending 1080p 60Hz over a single Cat5e/6 cable up to 160ft., and it does do that, so I can't be too harsh. For the price, this does what it says it does. To be fair, the listing also mentions: "For optimal performance, use the J-Tech Digital Customized Cat6 Ethernet cable." I don't have such a cable, and just used Cat6 cables I had on hand. It's also somewhat possible that the Ethernet cables I used affected some of the video results, so I can't say for certain that a better cable won't yield better results, but my results seemed fairly consistent. I might do some additional testing to see if I can determine whether or not a significantly different cable yields significantly different results, but since it worked so well at 1080p across my various Ethernet cables, I suspect it was just tuned to work well at 1080p, with little regard for other resolutions, and if that's your usage, then I suppose that's fine.In short, there are better solutions out there, but at this price point, this does a pretty fair job, and it is in fact lossless at 1080p 60Hz, unlike many of the other extenders out there that this one competes against, so I'd give this a tentative thumbs up if you're sure you're going to be using it for 1080p (without Deep Color, which won't work), and a word of caution about this one if you're using it for much else.
