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.

Benefits of Using 8K Extenders
Using 8K extenders ensures the integrity of high-definition video and audio signals over long distances. They are crucial for maintaining signal quality in environments with significant distance requirements or potential electromagnetic interference. For professional AV installations, extenders provide reliable, high-quality video transmission essential for live events, broadcast studios, and other high-performance applications.
8K HDMI extenders are indispensable for anyone needing to extend HDMI 2.1 video and audio signals over long distances while maintaining quality. For more information about our 8K detachable extender options, please contact a BZBGEAR representative.
This is where an extender comes in! Once an HDMI cable gets past 15ft it can often experience degradation of signal in higher resolutions like 4k or 8k, and if you want to play at 4k at 120Hz you might want to look into our BG-EXH-8KF fiber extender.
Yes, our 8k extenders support 4k at 120Hz! All 3 of our 8k extender models are able to deliver 4k at 120Hz, so whether you need a fiber option or a CAT cable option we’ve got you covered. We even have a TAA compliant option!
For a hidden equipment rack, the best option is likely going to be our fiber extender, the BG-EXH-8KF. Because fiber cables allow for the longest runs, that means it would be the easiest to hide in sequestered equipment racks. It also makes it ideal for large stadium uses and other environments where long cable runs are necessary.
You can but only with the correct extenders. Specifically ones that have HDBaseT or are rated properly. We have two options currently that fall within these specs! The first is going to be our BG-EXH-8K150C and the second is our BG-EXH-8KC6.
Our entire lineup of 8k extenders utilize CAT6 cable or fiber cable meaning extremely low latency. There should be near zero latency increase. So you can enjoy your gaming experience at 4k at 120Hz without any weird issues!
To extend an 8k signal to a projector that’s 50 feet away the easiest solution would simply just be one of our active HDMI cables. You could also consider our BG-EXH-8K150C HDMI extenders over CAT cable.
All of our 8k extenders support Dolby Atmos! In fact they have a wide range of support for several different advanced audio formats and HDR such as DTS-HD Master Audio, and TrueHD, HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and HLG for vivid, lifelike visuals.
Yes, our BG-EXH-8KC6 extender boasts 3 USB slots for peripheral support and KVM function! So if you’d like to create a long range computer lab or an esports arena that needs extenders.
