HDMI Over Cat 6

HDMI over CAT6 - 1080p to 50m

The KORDZ® CAT-HD50 is a fantastic and innovative product which enables the passing of a full HDMI bitstream over a parallel pair of CAT5E, CAT6/a or CAT7 cables. Simply run two lengths of data cable and terminate at both ends in standard linear Ethernet configuration with RJ45 connectors.

Connect a fully approved HDMI cable (1.3 spec preferred) from source to the HDMI input of the Transmitter (TX) unit, twin CAT cables from TX to Receiver (RX), then another short length approved HDMI cable from RX unit to the sink/display.

The results are astonishing, broadly equivalent to the KORDZ® Evolution series UP-OFC native HDMI up to 10m.
When should I use the CAT-HD50?

Use for installations where 1080p is required over longer lengths that cannot be supported by a pasive HDMI cable. However where full resolution support is attainable from a passive cable (such as KORDZ EVO or EVS series up to 10m, or MASTER™ series HDMI 1.3 to 15m, the passive cable is still the preferred option.

CAT-HD50
Is also handy for conduit installations, where an installed HDMI cable has been damaged or is redundant, or where cable length needs to be variable.
The CAT-HD50 is supplied as a send (TX) and receive (RX) pair, complete with 5V DC power supply (which connects to the sink/display side unit). Resolution support up to 30m for full 1080p over CAT5E UTP, or up to 60m for 720p/1080i.

CAT6 UTP
The use of CAT6 UTP can extend performance to a huge 50m with full 1080p 24/50/60Hz, depending on source and display capabilities and nativity of 1080p source (i.e. distance from up scaled sources may vary).

CAT7 UTP
CAT7 opens up the capabilities of the internal HDMI 1.3 chipset, offering support for Deep Color, xvColor and HD Audio.

• Plug 'n' play operation uses standard ethernet RJ45 configuration, STP or UTP cable
• Sender unit does not require external power, receive unit (TV end) requires 5V DC power (included)
• 24k gold plated HDMI receptacles
• Superior build quality, full metal housing with painted black finish
• Full kit includes sender unit, receiver unit and DC power pack
• 12 MONTH WARRANTY

GEN-4 benchmark HDMI cable series

HDMI Cables All new GEN-4 benchmark HDMI cable series Now available.

All new flat profile improves twisted pair linearity for enhanced bandwidth. What the...? It means it will support higher picture resolutions in a more compact cable. The other big plus with the new design is hugely improved cable flexibility with the tightest bend radius in it's class. Full assembly AL shell is super lightweight and well within HDMI spec (most brands aren't!).

Like an F1 car, lightweight is by far the best as it significantly reduces strain on the HDMI socket, and also greatly reduces the chances of the connector coming free when you don't want it to.

• No high heat injection molding is used in the connector assembly.
• More than 99% of HDMI™ cables in the world today use injection molding for the connector shell, as it's cheap and reliable and holds every core in place quite well. The downside is that it can increase capacitance by compromising each core's outer jacket, effectively blending them all together.
• The new GEN-4 cables use a proprietary technique to secure each core without the need for injection molding, vastly improving structural and signal integrity.
• The previous generations of KORDZ cables utilized hand soldering methods, same as most brands of HDMI™ cables today. The new KORDZ® B.O.S.S.™ (Bitrate Optimized Soldering System) termination uses a hi-tech automated soldering process that ensures complete consistency in size and quality of each and every solder joint - all 19 of them. The result? Measurably reduced BER (Bit Error Rate) through reduced jitter - the enemy of any digital bitstream.
• Ultra-deep SILVER plating results in EVX™ 7% conductor silver content - a new class benchmark. Which class? The top one - the best, for unsurpassed color and detail.
• EVX™ exclusive cotton/nylon sleeve for a soft and silky texture. Why? What does it do? Well, it looks nice, like a great paint job on a car. Many cables out there are using a stiffer braided sleeve, and claiming that it reduces 'vibration', but they are actually made from PET - the same stuff as the blister pack that it retails in - and as for any performance advantage, no, this is just marketing spin.
• Vibration is NOT a problem in digital interconnects. "You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig" - Barrack Obama, October 2008. We prefer to tell it like it is.

HDMI Cables Master Series

HDMI Cables Master Series

There are actually two distinct certification standards for HDMI 1.3 cables:

• Standard Speed (1.3 Cat.1 test): for SD and broadcast HD up to 720p/1080i.
• High Speed (1.3 Cat.2 test): for FULL HD 1080p+ resolution. Includes full feature set compatibility, including Deep Color, and advanced audio formats.

HDMI™ offers the undisputed best performance potential that the home cinema industry has ever seen. BUT remember it is just potential - to make the most of it, three critical things are needed;

1. an excellent quality source;

2. a high end FULL HD display, and;

3. an interconnect of which is capable of getting the intact signal from source to display with the best possible integrity.

To this end MASTER™ from Kordz® is in a class of its own. If you demand only the best, then this is it..
Class leading Silver Plated cores with 2.5x the depth of silver as in the Kordz® EVO-S series. Results in 5% overall Silver content
