CATx Output Card for FLEX Modular Matrix
KanexPro FLEX-CAT12OUT 12-port CATx output card with 4K60 4:4:4, HDR, PoC, and long-distance signal extension over CAT5e/6/6A for FLEX modular matrix…
Extend AV signals over standard CAT5e/6/6A cabling to displays from a single FLEX-CAT12OUT card slot: 4K60 up to 165ft (50m) and 1080p up to 197ft (60m). The FLEX-CAT12OUT is a CATx output card that transmits 12 independent HDMI video streams over cost-effective CAT cabling, eliminating the expense and inflexibility of long HDMI runs. Each of the 12 outputs supports 4K 3840x2160 @60Hz 4:4:4 with full HDR pass-through and Power-Over-Cable (PoC) to power remote receivers without separate power supplies. Designed for hospitality, corporate campuses, education facilities, broadcast studios, security operations, and commercial AV environments where signal distribution across buildings or large venues requires flexible, reliable cabling infrastructure. The card handles the full range of video formats including deep color (8/10/12-bit) and wide chroma sampling (RGB, YCbCr 4:4:4/4:2:2/4:2:0). Install multiple output cards across the FLEX-MF8X10, FLEX-MF16X20, FLEX-MF24X36, and FLEX-MF24X60 chassis platforms to scale display capacity while reducing the total cost of ownership for long-distance AV distribution.
