Name: 4K60 HDMI & USB-C 2-Gang Wall Plate Extender Kit with USB 2.0 and 60W Charging, 100m
Brand: KanexPro
SKU: WP-EXTHDTC100

Question 1

How far will the kit run, and at what resolution?

Accepted Answer

Up to 100m (328 ft) over a single CAT6/6A cable, carrying up to 4K60 4:4:4 8-bit over HDBaseT 2.0.

Question 2

Which video standards and HDR formats does it support?

Accepted Answer

HDMI 2.0b and DisplayPort 1.2a (USB-C) inputs with HDCP 2.3, 18Gbps video bandwidth, up to 4096x2160 at 60Hz, and HDR, HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision and HLG pass-through.

Question 3

Can a computer on the HDMI input use the USB devices too?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The wall plate's USB HOST port (USB-B) is bound to the HDMI input, so a computer connected there by HDMI and USB gets the receiver's USB devices when HDMI is selected.

Question 4

What does the DISPLAY ON/OFF button do?

Accepted Answer

It turns the display on or off from the wall plate by CEC, RS-232 or IR from the receiver, whichever is enabled.

Question 5

Does the laptop charge when the wall plate is powered over the cable?

Accepted Answer

No. USB-C charging needs the 24V/5A supply connected to the wall plate's DC IN. When the wall plate is powered over the cable from the receiver (PoC), video and USB work but the USB-C port does not charge.

Question 6

How does input switching work?

Accepted Answer

Press INPUT to switch between HDMI and USB-C by hand; hold it for 3 seconds to turn auto switching on or off. Auto switching detects the signal and the source's 5V, and a priority mode is available.

Question 7

The display shows nothing. What should I check first?

Accepted Answer

Check the receiver's LINK LED is green, which shows the wall plate and receiver are linked over the CAT cable, then check the selected input's LED on the wall plate is lit green.

Question 8

The laptop is not charging from the USB-C input.

Accepted Answer

Charging needs the 24V/5A supply connected to the wall plate. If the supply is at the receiver and the wall plate runs on PoC, move the supply to the wall plate's DC IN.

Question 9

Does one USB-C cable carry video, USB and charging?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The USB-C input takes DisplayPort 1.2a Alt Mode video up to 4K60 4:4:4 with HDCP 2.3, carries USB 2.0 to the receiver's device ports, and charges the laptop at up to 60W when the wall plate has its own 24V supply.

Question 10

What USB devices can I connect at the far end?

Accepted Answer

Conference cameras, speakerphones, keyboards, mice, touch displays and flash drives. USB 2.0 runs at up to 255Mbps to four device ports on the receiver, two USB-C and two USB-A, each 5V at 1A.
