Unlock Boundless HDMI Expansion with the HE03L-4K Extender

HE03L-4K is a 4K HDMI extender that use a cost-effective Ethernet cables to send an HDMI signal for up to 140M. Its chainable RX allows the extender to split an HDMI singal into up to 250 ones and display the signals at the same time. By pushing the built-in EDID button, you can effortlessly find the connected HDMI monitor's best resolution and correctly display the wanted video.

4K Quality Extension & Tree Network Distribution

Basic Distribution

HE03-4K is a 4K @ 30Hz HDMI extender that can extend HDMI for a long distance. Both video and audio can be extended for 120~140m over a network cable and be connected to a Network Switch to distribute 1-to-multi devices.

However, due to the location of the network switch, the extension is still limited even when it is used with other extension devices.

Daisy Chain Network Distribution

HE03L-4K is the loop-out version of HE03-4K. It can loop out signals from one receiver to another, distributing signals without a Network Switch, up to 250 units in series.

The extended distance is advantageous for installation. As long as the distance between your receivers is under the recommended limit, the output quality will not be compromised.

Common Problems with Other Marketed HDMI Extension & Distribution

  • Temporary or complete loss of signal.
  • Inaccuracy of the declared distance. Sometimes the actual distance is shorter than claimed, for the equipment used lacks neutrality.
  • Reduction of sound and picture quality, such as lower resolution, contrast, saturation, etc.

Suggestions for Use

  • To avoid noise and loss of resolution, please use high-quality CAT5e, CAT6 UTP / STP / FTP cables.
  • When HE03-4K is connected to a Network Switch, it must be set up in a separate local area network (LAN); otherwise, it may lower the speed of network devices.
  • When HE03-4K is connected to a Network Switch, turn off EEE (Energy-Efficient Ethernet).
