Multi-Input HDBaseT Extender with Built-In Switch

The StarTech STDHVHDBT combines a three-input switch and an HDBaseT extender in a single black enclosure. It accepts DisplayPort, HDMI and VGA sources and delivers the selected signal to a remote HDMI display over standard Cat 5e or Cat 6 cabling. The unit is rack-mountable and passes 7.1 surround sound audio.

Suits single-display setups needing source

Installers who want to toggle between a laptop, a media player and a legacy VGA source at a distant projector will benefit from the integrated switching. Buyers who need to distribute one source to multiple displays or who require daisy-chaining between extenders should look elsewhere because the device offers a single HDBaseT output and no daisy-chain support.

230 ft maximum extension over Cat 5e or Cat 6

The extender reaches up to 230 ft (70 m) at 4K resolution and maintains 4K picture quality up to 130 ft. This distance limit is the decisive specification: if the cable run exceeds 230 ft the product will not work, while shorter runs within that range are fully supported.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the STDHVHDBT extender is transmitting a 4K signal correctly after connecting it with CAT5e cabling?

Verify the remote display shows a stable 4K image and that 7.1 surround sound audio is passing through without dropouts.

Which cables and accessories are included with the STDHVHDBT unit, and what must I purchase separately?

The extender itself is included; you must supply CAT5e UTP or better cabling up to 229.6 ft and provide your own HDMI, DisplayPort or VGA source cables.

Should I choose the 130 ft or 230 ft range specification when planning my CAT6 run for 4K video?

For 4K resolution, design the run for up to 130 ft; the 230 ft / 70 m maximum applies to lower-resolution signals over CAT5e or CAT6.
