HDMI - CAT 6

[GarryJ1990]

Evening,

I am trying to get a signal from my Sky Q Box in 1 corner of a room to a TV on the opposite wall.
I have ran a CAT 6 cable between the points and terminated RJ45 ends on to each end.
I have tested cable with LAN tester and proves fine.
I have tried the below link for which I had hoped to transmit HMDI using the CAT 6 cable but can not get it to work.

Is there a reason for this? Any help would be appreciated - I am an approved Electrician but not so up to speed with Home Automation.

Below is the link of the ends I have tried.....

Bin them you need a proper active converters. Such as https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00YC3BWL2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_ePgPFbJ89ND2A

Note I haven't used the above brand so do your ow. Research into the exact model to use.

Those "converters" are junk.

I think the £6.69 including postage for the pair says it all.

Have you got TX and RX the right ends?

There's a video on Youtube suggesting the adapters are only good for 15mtrs

I Tried it both ways. The Cat 6 run is approx 9 metres.

No problem. Thanks for your time to help!

This will split your TV to 2 others, and the remote still works from the added TVs...

Ok, it's not dirt cheap, but it works, and the quality of the build and the signal are both good

Easy to install, and gives you flexibility for an extra TV in kitchen and bedroom etc. Obviously, the same channel on all of the TVs. Very easy to install too.
