HDMI over Cat5/6

Noob2013 · Jun 17, 2015

Hi all,

Going to be renovating my property and will be mounting all TVs on the wall.

Cat5/6 cable is easier and cheaper to put in pvc trunking rather than a long HDMI cable and also easier to replace if faulty.

What's the best way to do this?

What would I terminate the Cat5/6 cables to?

Is there an HDMI faceplate that you can patch them to or the extenders?

I basically need a HDMI port behind tv on the wall and one above skirting to connect sky box or dvd player.

Thanks

There are lots of stuff out there for HDMI over Cat5. Never used any of the stuff, so can't really comment on what is best.

I did a course type thing just out of interest at our local wholesaler. The company were basically just advertising their gear. Wyrestrom ore Wyrestrom I thing they were called. Have a look through their stuff then look for a cheaper alternative lol. They have a lot of good stuff for thae kind of thing your on about but they are pricey.

Hope that helps
