Vention HDMI Network Cable Extender 60M — Gray Aluminum Alloy Type (AKGH0)

The Vention AKGH0 is a powered HDMI-over-Ethernet extender that transmits Full HD 1080p video and audio from a source device to a display up to 60 metres away using a single CAT5e, CAT6, or CAT7 network cable rather than a long HDMI cable. It ships as a matched transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX) pair and suits home theatre rooms, conference spaces, classrooms, retail signage installations, and any environment where the source and display are too far apart for a standard HDMI cable to reach reliably. The anodized gray aluminum alloy housing on both units provides robust passive heat dissipation for extended continuous use and protects the internal circuitry against static discharge and physical damage.

Standard HDMI cables become unreliable beyond 10–15 metres without active boosting, and running a single long HDMI cable across a building or through a ceiling is impractical in most installations. The Vention AKGH0 solves this by converting the HDMI signal at the transmitter end into a format that travels cleanly over widely available CAT-series Ethernet cable — infrastructure that is already present in many buildings — and then reconstructing the full signal at the receiver end with no visible quality loss. The result is a stable 1080p Full HD picture and lossless audio at the display end, regardless of the cable run between the two units. Setup is entirely plug-and-play: connect the TX to the source, connect the RX to the display, link them with a CAT5e or better Ethernet cable, attach the power adapters, and both units begin transmitting immediately — no drivers, no software, no network router required.
