Hi everyone,

First post here. Been reading this forum for a while

I have been reading about and testing solutions for an hdmi or kvm extender. I have a 3440x1440 display I need to connect with a mac pro approx. 15m/165ft. away from each other.

I have tested an active hdmi cable with no succes (not enough power to feed the booster according to their tech support).

I need 4K resolotion for the display at 60Hz uncompressed.

Any recommendations?

By "4k" what do you mean?

You could get away with an HDSDI solution, unless you need HDCP compliance. I would look at a balun solution, but you will never pass true video 4K over a Cat5/6 solution.

An optical HDMI cable is the only viable solution for over 13G transmission rate over 24'.

I bought an Opticis optical displayport extender. This works fine with 4K @ 60 Hz uncompressed streams over 20m.
