Home Theatre Installation: HDMI Over Cat6 Cable

Have you ever needed to extend your HDMI signal? If so, you're not alone.

This blog post explains how to extend your HDMI signal over a cat6 cable and provides some tips that will make sure you get good results. Let's get started!

The process of extending over a cat6 cable

Extending your HDMI signal over a cat6 cable is actually a very simple process. All you need is a cat6 cable, an HDMI cable, and a converter box. The converter box will convert the HDMI signal to a cat6 signal, which can then be transmitted over the cat6 cable.

Here are the steps you should follow. First, connect the HDMI cable to your TV and connect the other end of it to the input on the converter box. Grab your cat6 cable and connect it to the output on the converter box. Next, lay the rest of the cat6 cable, so it fits snuggly against one wall and add some clips to hold it in place. Doing so will help to prevent trips and falls. Finally, connect the other end of the cat6 cable to your home theatre receiver. Once everything is in place, test the system to check that you now have a perfectly extended HDMI signal. If you do not, check each connection point and make sure each cable is securely attached. You should also check that the converter box is switched on.
