AVPro Edge Introduces HDMI Extension Kit with 150-Meter Range

AVPro Edge has introduced the AC-EX150-BKT, an HDMI extension kit developed to provide integrators with 150 meters of range when using HDMI connectivity.

The new kit offers 50 meters of additional reach when compared to conventional solutions, and effectively overcomes key challenges encountered by AV integrators seeking to affordably leverage legacy network infrastructure to transmit HDMI signals over long runs. Integrators now have a clear solution for passing HDMI signals through punch-down blocks and cable splices.

“The AC-EX150-BKT is the ultimate solution for AV integrators seeking to overcome infrastructure and distance obstacles that hamper conventional HDMI extension technologies,” explained Sam Metivier, product manager for AVPro Edge. “This kit delivers a stable HDMI signal over long runs and is easy to use—creating opportunities for integrators to satisfy their clients without the significant cost of replacing legacy category wiring. The AC-EX150-BKT is another engineering triumph from AVPro Edge.”   

The AC-EX150-BKT kit features a compact transmitter and receiver plus mounting and wiring accessories. The kit retrofits almost any Category cable-based infrastructure and meets 4K, HDMI 2.0 specifications using Cat-5e or better cabling, making this a versatile tool for AV integrators.

Notably, the kit is designed to overcome infrastructure obstacles such as dated Category cabling or splices, couplers, and punch-down blocks. And, in addition to offering EDID management and 4K-to-1080p downscaling, it’s CEC friendly and provides RS-232 and IR extension.

AVPro Edge products are backed by a 10-year advanced-replacement warranty.
