8K Extenders
BZBGEAR 8K Extenders
8K extenders are essential for surpassing the distance limitations of standard HDMI 2.1 cables. Since HDMI signals often degrade around 50 feet, these extenders convert HDMI signals into Ethernet or fiber optic signals, allowing for significantly longer transmission distances without signal loss.
To ensure users receive the best signal quality, our extender kits are equipped with EDID dip switches. This enables users to set specific resolution and audio format settings for compatibility with all equipment involved. Overall, this conversion ensures that high-resolution 8K video and audio signals maintain their quality over extended lengths.
