Eaton B127A‑1A1‑BHPH HDMI over Cat6 Extender, 4K60, PoC

Overview :

The Eaton B127A‑1A1‑BHPH is a wired HDMI over Cat6 video extender kit, comprising a transmitter and a low‑profile pigtail receiver. It is deployed by AV integrators and IT infrastructure teams to extend high‑resolution HDMI sources to distant displays over structured twisted‑pair cabling where HDMI cable length limits would otherwise prevent reliable signal delivery. It solves distance and routing challenges in large meeting spaces, digital signage corridors, and control rooms.

From a technical deployment perspective, the kit supports Ultra HD video at up to 3840 × 2160 (4K) at 60 Hz with 4:4:4 chroma subsampling, HDR, and HDCP 2.2 compliance. The transmitter unit provides a local HDMI output for monitoring and sends the main HDMI signal over user‑supplied Category 6 cabling up to approximately 230 ft (70 m). Power‑over‑Cable (PoC) simplifies installation by powering the receiver from the transmitter without requiring a separate local supply.

This extender kit is suitable for structured AV deployments in conference rooms, auditoriums, lecture halls, and digital signage installations where a source device must be separated from the display by distances that preclude direct HDMI runs. Its compact form factor also supports wall or rack mounting for tidy infrastructure integration.

Integration is predominantly physical: connect the HDMI source to the transmitter, run a Cat6 cable to the remote receiver, and attach the remote HDMI display. Audio (including multi‑channel formats) is passed through, and built‑in EDID compatibility ensures display handshake integrity across diverse endpoints.

A practical deployment includes extending a 4K conferencing PC output from a rack‑mounted AV system to a centrally located lobby display over existing Cat6 horizontal cabling. The PoC feature at the receiver removes the need for local mains power near the displayed endpoint.

This device should not be used where network‑based (IP transport) video extension is required, where signal splitting or matrix switching is necessary, or where multi‑display synchronization across far‑separated panels is mandated; it is strictly a point‑to‑point HD video extender.
