OREI 4K HDMI/USB-C Extender, Over Single Cat6/Cat7 Cable Wall Plate Transmitter 4K @ 60Hz UltraHD with HDR & IR Control - Up to 165 ft

I purchased this to run an HDMI signal through conduit that was too small to run an HDMI cable. Picture quality is great, no problems so far.

100% useful

We finished our basement recently and did a home theater setup. I wasn't sure in the end where all my equipment would go so pretty early on I decided to run Cat5e for video instead of a long HDMI cord. I already had plenty of it and knew I could use an HDMI extender to achieve what I wanted. At the end of the day, this extender from OREI is probably what most people need or are looking for. It can do 4k HDR10 at 60hz with HDCP which will allow you to play anything you'd want today on something like say a Roku Ultra, which is what I'm using. I bought two other HDMI extender setups before finally coming across this one so really take the time to look at the specs when buying. The first HDMI extender I bought did not support HDCP, the second HDMI extender I bought supported HDCP, but not HDR so it wasn't until I bought this OREI unit that I got everything I wanted for my home theater setup. Installation was painless. I took a standard plastic sidemount gang box, attached it to an exposed stud in my equipment closet and then ceiling mounted the receiver unit by the projector. Whats also nice with this unit is you only need power on one end. The power from the receiver end also powers the input end where you connect your HDMI cord. Haven't took advantage of the USB-C connections yet, but thats a great bonus to have right there by all of my other equipment. Really pleased with this unit and would definitely buy from the brand again for future needs.

Just doesn't work. Orei support is unhelpful. I called support to see if there was an issue with my configuration. They told me they would forward my case to the next tier of support. They never called me back and the product still doesn't work. They do not even publish the latest firmware on their website for me to attempt a firmware update. Poor form Orei. My configuration is a ~30ft cat 6 cable through a wall and above a drop ceiling to a projector. Nothing near the limits advertised. Thinking the issue may be with signal interference on the cat 6 cable, I grabbed a known good 2ft cat 6 cable from our patch panel as test cable and this thing still won't transmit the video signal to a test display. All my HDMI cables work fine without the Orei equipment in between so I know the issue is with their equipment.

This thing is pretty cool. It not only allows the extension of HDMI, but also will convert USB-C to HDMI/video and also has a USB-C charging port as well. The fact that it fits in a single gang outlet in a wall is perfect for when you want to have a projector in the air, but have the connections close at hand. OREI products have been great. I use extenders and splitters and switchers made by them and have had 0 issues. I see no reason why I will with this either.
