Tripp Lite B125-150 HDMI over Cat5 / Cat6 Extender HDMI/HDCP

Never got this to work and I spent a lot of time with Tripp-Lite technical support. The first box always had an error light and after performing a bunch of tests for them, it was determined to be defective so they replaced it with another set. The next box did not have an error but would not pass a signal. I tried 3 Sources (Directv HD DVR, Sony 1080P unconverting DVD, Toshiba 1080P upconverting DVD) and 3 different destinations. Nothing worked. Support was really nice, but they kept harping on refresh rates (MHZ) and suggested trying a computer where refresh could be selected. This makes me believe the product is designed for computers and not consumer electronics equipment. In consumer electronics the HDMI refresh is dictated by the resolution.

I bought a RockSoul HDMI extender which works perfectly. No power needed at 75 feet (kept the Tripp lite Cat6 cables that I had bought which I am sure helps). Great picture and perfect sound.

Returned the Tripp-lite extender to Amazon.

the buyer needs to understand that you have to run TWO CAT 5 or 6 cables for this product to work right.

They work but sometimes the timing gets off and causes flickering display images... Power cycle will generally fix this otherwise reduce the refresh rate of the display.

I purchased 2 of these extenders to connect 2 Sony HDTVs in our home to the HDMI and DisplayPort output of our desktop computer in our office. The computer has a Sapphire HD6770 Flex video card. The 2 extender runs both use unshielded 24 AWG solid wire Cat5e cable. One run is 50 feet, the other is 100 feet and the desired resolution is 720P.

The TV at 50 feet works perfect but the TV at 100 feet would drop frames and the picture would jerk once in a while showing full screen video. The audio was perfect with both TVs. I returned the Tripp Lite extender that I was using at 100 feet and replaced it with a Cable Matters HDBaseT extender (ASIN: B005H4Y6TA) which works perfect.

Want Tripp Lite B125-150 HDMI over Cat5 / Cat6 Extender HDMI/HDCP Discount?

We are running 1080p direct from a very inexpensive Blue Ray player to a very inexpensive projector 93 ft over unshielded, good quality dual CAT6 and we didn't even need the power supply that came with this setup. Who knows how far this setup will run WITH the power supply? It is really amazing. It is instant-success, no setup, no tweaking. Just plug and play. An engineer from one of our local TV stations borrowed it and ordered 30 of them. One thing to remember is that Tripp Lite is a quality name. They have been around the electronics business for decades and they put their name on a number of excellent lines now. We buy their surge suppressors and UPS's because they are simple, basic functions that just work at a great price.
