Optvio HDBaseT HDMI Extender RXOptvio HDBaseT HDMI Extender Receiver 70m 1080p Cat6 RX Only · NO ADAPTER

HDBaseT HDMI Extender — Receiver (RX)

The receiver half of an HDBaseT HDMI extender pair. It sits at the display end, takes the signal arriving over a single Cat6 cable from a matching transmitter up to 70 metres away, and outputs it as 1080p HDMI into a projector, screen or monitor. Backed by a 12-month warranty from Reboot IT. Please note: the power adapter is not included with this unit.

Key Benefits

• Seventy metres from one cable — standard HDMI is only reliable to roughly 15 m. A single Cat6 run reaches the display at up to 70 m, covering almost any room, hall or lecture theatre.
• Mounts at the display — sits behind the projector or screen and hands over a short, ordinary HDMI lead, so the long run stays as structured cable.
• Full 1080p output — delivers 1920 × 1080 at the far end, the native resolution of the overwhelming majority of installed projectors and meeting-room displays.
• Uses existing cabling — works over the Cat6 already in the walls, avoiding a bespoke HDMI pull through conduit or ceiling space.
• Buy only the half you need — sold as a single RX unit, so a failed receiver can be replaced without paying for a whole kit.
• No configuration — there is nothing to set up. Connect the Cat6 and the HDMI lead and the link comes up on its own.

Performance in Use

HDMI has a hard distance problem. Past about 15 metres a passive cable starts dropping out, sparkling, or failing to handshake at all — and the failure is usually intermittent, which makes it maddening to diagnose. An extender pair solves it by carrying the signal over twisted pair, so the long link becomes ordinary Cat6 with RJ45 on both ends.

This receiver is the display-end half. It typically mounts behind a ceiling projector or on the back of a wall-mounted screen, takes the Cat6 arriving from the transmitter, and outputs HDMI over a short patch lead into the display. From the projector's point of view nothing unusual is happening — it simply sees a normal HDMI source.

Two practical notes. Use solid-core Cat6 and terminate it properly — extenders are far more sensitive to marginal cable and patch leads than a normal Ethernet link, and most faults trace back to the cabling rather than the hardware. And run the link point to point: the cable carries HDBaseT, not Ethernet, so it must go directly between transmitter and receiver and must not pass through a network switch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the transmitter included?

No. This listing is the receiver (RX) only. You need a matching transmitter at the source end for the link to work — we list the transmitter separately.

Can I run the Cat6 through my network switch?

No. The cable carries an HDBaseT signal, not Ethernet. It must run point to point directly between the transmitter and the receiver, with no switch, hub or router in the path.

Will it do 4K?

No. This extender carries 1080p (1920 × 1080). If your source and display are both 4K and you need that resolution end to end, choose a 4K-rated extender instead.

What cable should I use?

Cat6 or better, solid core, properly terminated. Extenders are much less tolerant of marginal cable and cheap patch leads than ordinary Ethernet — most reported faults turn out to be cabling rather than hardware.

Does it pass audio as well as video?

Yes. HDMI carries embedded audio alongside the video, and the receiver outputs the HDMI signal to your display.

Is a power adapter included?

No. This unit is supplied without its power adapter, which is reflected in the price. You will need to source a compatible supply separately before the extender will operate.

What is shipping and delivery like?

Shipping costs apply based on size and destination — rates are calculated at checkout. Orders placed before the daily cut-off are typically dispatched the same business day from our Melbourne warehouse.
