This level of Kordz® offers performance superior to many market standard cables, with genuine HDMI™ compliance and 1080p support to 15m / 49'.

The EVO series of HDMI cables features a newly developed termination technique which permits the use of high performance UP-OFC in the main conductors, instead of the more common tinned copper. The superior conductive properties of pure copper is second only to silver, and ensures a highly accurate transmission of the sensitive TMDS bitstream, resulting in a sharper, more dynamic picture and flawless digital sound. Each TMDS channel is individually shielded in an overlapped layer of mylar coated foil, with a further dual layer of shielding around the entire multi-core HDMI bunch, comprising both foil wrap and braided copper. Furthermore the connector shell design offers greater cable entry integrity, and superior characteristics to comply with the stringent HDMI certification test requirements.

Allows HDMI Audio/Video Signals to be transmitted using Two Cat 5e or Cat 6 Cables.

For connecting, HDTVs, Digital Flat Panel Displays and Other Components with HDMI connections to Blu-RayTM Digital DVD Player, Digital DVD Player, Digitial A/V Receiver and Other Equipment with HDMI Connections

This HDMI extender uses CAT-5E cable as transmission media. The HDMI extender extends your HDTV display up to 115 feet (35mtrs) away from your HDTV source using two CAT-5E cables. If Cat-6 is used it extends up to 165feet (50mtrs). It is equipped with HDMI (high definition multimedia interface) connectors and is capable of supporting DVI (digital visual interface) equipment when used with an HDMI to DVI Adapter, providing greater flexibility and options when integrating several home theater components.

Premium High Speed HDMI Cables

The EVX series of HDMI™ cables represent the pinnacle of HDMI cable technology. To meet the stringent demands of HDMI 'High Speed' compliance at long lengths, new design principles had to be implemented. Development of the Kordz GEN-4 cables began as a ground up project with this flagship principle in mind. All other GEN-4 HDMI cables borrow technology from this series, but compromise to meet a price / performance ratio. One of the key developments in the GEN-4 HDMI cables is the new Kordz Bitrate Optimised Soldering System (B.O.S.S.™) termination method. Previous generations of Kordz cables utilised hand soldering methods, as do most brands of HDMI cables today. B.O.S.S.™ termination uses a hi-tech automated soldering process that ensures complete consistency in size and quality of each and every solder joint. In addition, the new flat geometry cable provides increased performance, improved flexibility and reduced weight. High AWG cores are utilised throughout, while class-leading 7% silver plated solid-core conductors are used in the sensitive TMDS channels. The result is what we believe is the best you can buy, regardless of price.

Allows HDMI audio/video signals and IR signals to be transmitted using two Category 5e or 6 cables.

These HDMI over UTP devices extend the HDMI signal up to 150 feet from the HDTV source using two CAT5/5E/6 cables. It provides greater flexibility and options when integrating several home theater components. It can be used to correct and compensate for long run cables that can cause impairments.

Allows you to extend your HDTV display up to 200 feet using Category 5e cable connections. The transmitter unit connects to the HDMI audio/video device with a HDMI connection. The receiver is located near the HDTV display source (HDTV, monitor) and connected to the display source with a HDMI connection. Then, the transmitter and the receiver units are connected together with two (2) Category 5 cables that transmit a pristine high definition signal between the A/V device and the HDTV display up to 200 feet.

Allows you to extend your HDTV display up to 196 feet using Category 5e cable connection. The transmitter unit connects to the HDMI audio/video device with a HDMI connection. The receiver is located near the HDTV display source (HDTV, monitor) and connected to the display source with a HDMI connection. Then, the transmitter and the receiver units are connected together with one (1) Category 5 cable that transmits a pristine high definition signal between the A/V device and the HDTV display up to 196 feet.

This innovative product enables the passing of a full HDMI bitstream over a parallel pair of CAT5E, CAT6/a or CAT7 cables. Simply run two lengths of data cable and terminate at both ends in standard linear ethernet configuration with RJ45 connectors. Connect a fully approved HDMI cable (most recent spec preferred) from source to the HDMI input of the Transmitter (TX) unit, twin CAT cables from TX to Receiver (RX), then another short length approved HDMI cable from RX unit to the sink/display. The results are astonishing, broadly equivalent to our EVO series native HDMI cables up to 10m / 32'.

Use for installations where 1080p is required over longer lengths that cannot be supported by a passive HDMI cable. However where full resolution support is attainable from a passive cable (such as our EVO, EVS or EVX series up to 15m / 49') the passive cable is still the preferred option. Also handy for conduit installations, where an installed HDMI cable has been damaged or is redundant, or where cable length needs to be variable.

The CAT-HD50 is supplied as a send (TX) and receive (RX) pair, complete with 5V DC power supply which connects to the sink/display side unit. Resolution support up to 30m / 98' for full 1080p over CAT5E UTP, or up to 60m / 196' for 720p/1080i. The use of CAT6 UTP can extend performance to a huge 50m / 164' with full 1080p 24/50/60Hz, depending on source and display capabilities and nativity of 1080p source (ie distance from upscaled sources may vary). CAT7 opens up the capabilities of the internal HDMI chipset, offering support for Deep Color, x.v.Color and HD Audio.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the KORDZ® CAT-HD50 compatible with the HDMI 1.3a specification?

A: Yes, the new 6th generation RX/TX system utilizes the very latest HDMI 1.3 chipsets, making it capable of processing full 1080p along with deep color to 36 bit, as well as HD audio. HOWEVER, the complete 1.3 bandwidth may not be able to be passed due to limitations in the CAT5E/CAT6 cable itself. Keep in mind that the max bandwidth of HDMI 1.3 is 50 times greater than the certified bandwidth of dual CAT5E's, and 20 times greater than the certified bandwidth of dual CAT6's. If you MUST have the full HDMI 1.3, you're best to use the not-so-common CAT7 as it provides far greater bandwidth potential, and even then color depth may be restricted to 30 bit.

Q: There are a few HDMI over CAT6 converter options on the market - what makes KORDZ® different?

A: Only the KORDZ® HDN series (including the CAT-HD50) offers the latest 6th generation architecture. Most brands are still on the first or second generation as of Q1 2008. The difference is the HDMI 1.3 processing, interoperability status, and the choice of optional power insertion at either RX or TX end. There's also a vast expansion option for 1080p HDMI distribution over CAT6 to up to 256 HDTVs with the use of HDN series amplifier/splitters.

Q: I see there are two RJ45 ports - do I have to use both?

A: Yes, two identical lengths of the same specification CAT cable must be used. The sum total of the 8 twisted pairs is required for the full HDMI bitstream. Audio and video are not separate in the cable.

Q: If I run two lengths of CAT5E or CAT6 together, but forget to label them, can any harm be done in connecting the RJ45s the wrong way around?

A: No. The unit will not work but no damage will result if terminals 1 and 2 are crossed.
