Splitter Over Cat6 with Loopout

The SIIG 1x8 HDMI Splitter Over Cat6 Extender distributes a single HDMI source to eight remote displays through standard Cat6 cabling. An integrated HDMI loop-out port passes the original signal to a local monitor or recorder. Built-in ARC support returns audio from the far-end display back to the source. RS-232 and IR channels allow centralised control of the extender and connected equipment from the equipment rack.

Installers needing eight zones from one source

This unit suits meeting rooms, lecture halls, educational facilities, home theaters, restaurants, shopping centres and libraries where identical content must reach multiple screens over long cable runs. It is not designed for installations that require independent source switching per zone or for point-to-point extension without distribution. Buyers needing fewer than eight outputs or a different transmission medium should evaluate alternative models.

Eight simultaneous Cat6 outputs

The defining specification is the eight Cat6 ports that carry video, audio, IR and RS-232 signals up to the extender's rated distance. This output count fixes the maximum number of remote displays without adding cascaded hardware. Confirm that the installation can provide eight Cat6 runs and that the display count matches this fixed capacity before purchase.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the loop-out port or the eight Cat6 outputs for my display layout?

Use the loop-out port for a local monitor at the rack and the eight Cat6 outputs to feed remote screens up to 232 feet away.

What does the 232-foot Cat6 reach mean once the extender is installed in a meeting room?

It lets you place displays far from the source without signal loss, covering typical lecture-hall or restaurant runs.

How does the ARC function work with the Cat6 extension path?

ARC audio travels back from the far-end display through the same Cat6 link to the splitter, then out to your sound system.
