HDMI Over Cat5 Wall PlateHow it works
Your output device that has the HDMI connector ( Cable box, Satellite receiver, DVD player ) plugs into the INPUT of the HDMI Transmitter with a HDMI cable.
Then you plug 2 Cat 5e cables into the back of the HDMI transmitter Wall Plate and run your cat 5e cables to the HDMI Receiver Wall Plate.
Your HDMI Receiver then hooks up via HDMI cable to your HDMI input on your HDTV display. Plug the AC adapter ( included ) into the Receiver.
Its that easy.
Please note -
Two CAT5e or Cat 6 cables (not included)are needed to connect the sender and the receiver units to each other.
For distances up to 100 feet, shielded CAT5e or CAT 6 cables are recommended for optimal video quality.

Tips for Installing Cat 5e Cat 6 Products
Advantages of using Cat 5e / Cat 6 Cables -
Cat 5/6 cables can be field-terminated, while HDMI cables cannot. Not only fairly easy not to mention the fact that Cat cables are easy to install and a lot less expensive.
Lots of positive information has been written about using Cat 5e / Cat 6 to run your Audio and Video signals over. Despite the positive data, there have been issues. Here are some simple but important rules integrators should follow when installing any Cat 5 or 6 systems.
Always be aware of timing problems. This involves our old friends, inter and intra pair skew limitations. Cat 5e and Cat6 are twisted pairs and look the same. They are just as easy to pull, pinch, stretch, and distort during installation. In many cases, the damage comes easier than with HDMI cable. These distortions with the cable can cause server timing and ISI (Inter Symbol Interference) issues, which can cause sparkles or intermittent video. Be careful installing Cat 5e Cat 6. No Sharp Turns or right angle or 90 degree turns.
Use Cat 6 if you have the option to choose between the two. Studies have proven Cat 6 will offer almost twice the distance you would normally get with Cat 5e. Plus Cat 6 is built with an inner sheath that keeps each twisted pair separated and flexible meaning that if you do pull it the wrong way, each twisted pair inside can move easier.
NOTICE: Because of the quality of the Cat5e / Cat 6 cables we highly recommend that you use high quality HDMI and Cat5e or Cat 6 Cables. Quality of cables have a direct relationship to how long you can run the cables and still how good the signal will be.
