HDBaseT HDMI Extender over Cat6 - 150M (492 ft.) with PoE
KanexPro EXT-HDBT150M HDBaseT HDMI extender TX+RX — 1080p@60Hz over single Cat6 to 150M (492 ft.). Bi-directional PoE (1 PSU for both units), HDMI…
The KanexPro EXT-HDBT150M is a professional HDBaseT HDMI extender transmitter-receiver kit that extends 1080p/60Hz HD signals up to 150 meters (492 feet) over a single Cat6 STP cable. Bi-directional PoE allows one locking 24V/1A power supply to power both TX and RX units over the same Cat6 cable — eliminating the need for a second power run at the remote end. The transmitter includes an HDMI loop-out for local preview monitoring. Bi-directional RS-232 (Phoenix connector) and IR pass-through enable full source and display control from either end of the extension. Full Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, and LPCM 7.1 audio pass-through are supported. Built to commercial standards with metal enclosure, locking power connector, and ESD protection up to plus or minus 8kV. Backed by KanexPro's 3-year warranty. Applications: Large lecture halls, house of worship, conference rooms, command and control rooms, digital signage, and campus AV where 150M HDBaseT reach and RS-232/IR control are required.

Questions
- What is the maximum resolution and video bandwidth?
- The EXT-HDBT150M is HDMI 1.4 / HDCP 1.4 compliant with 225MHz per-channel video bandwidth, supporting 1080p@60Hz in YUV 4:4:4 or RGB 4:4:4, at 8-bit color depth.
- What is the maximum transmission distance?
- The extender reaches 150M (492 ft.) over Cat6 STP using HDBaseT technology.
- How is RS-232 control wired?
- A Phoenix connector on both TX and RX passes RS-232 bidirectionally over the HDBaseT link; wire the control system to the TX Phoenix connector and the display or control device to the RX Phoenix connector.
- How does the HDMI loop-out fit into the system?
- The TX HDMI LOOP OUT drives a local preview monitor while the extended signal continues to the RX over Cat6.
- What cable is required for the full 150M reach?
- Use Cat6 STP with proper grounding. Do not run it parallel to or in the same conduit as power cables, and do not exceed 150M.
- What are the unit dimensions and weight?
- TX and RX each measure 5.51 x 2.56 x 0.71 in (140 x 65 x 18mm) and weigh 0.90 lb (406g).
- There is no signal at 150M. What should I check?
- Verify Cat6 STP is used with proper grounding, avoid power cable proximity, check that both RJ45 connectors are fully seated, test with a shorter cable to isolate the fault, and verify the locking PSU is fully engaged (twist to lock).
- The RX unit has no power. What should I check?
- Confirm the locking 24V/1A power supply is connected to either TX or RX and fully locked (twist clockwise). PoE carries power across the Cat6 link, so if the powered unit is active, the other should receive power automatically; also check Cat6 cable continuity.
- What installs is the EXT-HDBT150M built for?
- Commercial installs needing 1080p HDMI reach beyond typical Cat6 extenders, up to 150M, with a single power supply, RS-232 control, and metal-enclosure ESD protection.
- Why is single-supply power convenient for a 150M run?
- One locking 24V/1A supply at either end powers both TX and RX via PoE over the Cat6 cable, so no second power outlet is needed at the remote display location, which matters for far-end installs like auditoriums or large conference rooms.
