Hey guys, I had my security installer rewire my cat5es to 568B to test it out, even though he insisted it wouldn't make any difference and that he'd be surprised if it worked. The prewire tech said it wouldn't work either, but low and behold it did. Worked right off the bat and have a solid...

Yes the cables are solid copper and seem to be wired to the 568A standard rather than 568B.

Thanks for pointing that out but we had a person on each end in this case.

ok i got my nvr resolution settings back to 1080p, and now ive tried bringing the 1080p monitor down to the kitchen, seeing how i was able to get this extender to work in the master bedroom with the exact same set up. (orei extender 1080p hdmi cables) his monitor does not work in the kitchen...

Oh missed this reply. Ok I'll give it another shot with better HDMI cables. Getting a much clearer idea now with all the input

The HDMI cables I'm using are these 1m 1080p monster cables. Not sure if it's just marketing gimmick stuff but probably better than the stuff I have laying around the house. Should I try 4k HDMI cables if I still want to attempt this 4k monitor or does the cat5e makes it pointless?

Yeah that's sort of the direction I was heading in except from what @Ford mentioned trying to get 4k out of cat5e might be a waste of time. I will use the HDMI for 1080p in the bedroom and try to get 1080p with VGA on the 4k monitor.

Im starting to settle on having just the one monitor on the main floor as long as it works. The monoprice combo is still a little out of my price range than id like, just to get a picture to my monitors, seeing how im still struggling with the fact he ran cat5e when he could have just ran hdmi...

we tested all 4 cat5e cables with the ethernet tester. he ran a spare to each location. all but 1 cable seemed to be working fine. the device has 8 lights that light up one after another.

Thank you for the helpful information so far. I overlooked the edid switches, I'll make sure it's set to 1080p. thats what i implied when i questioned him using cat5 instead of hdmi. Hard to push any further than that having little to no experience with this stuff though.

Some of the HDMI extenders I've used listing specs do state that they support cat5e/cat6

I'm not using an HDMI splitter at the moment. I was just trying to get the main monitor up first. It was a cat5e that was prewired. The orei extender works fine with the 1080p monitor in the master bed location and this extender states cat6 and above. My tech says there's should be no...

Oh man..ok let's see.. All purchased off Amazon as options seem to be very limited locally. GHT model ht202p tried 2 diff ones Mypin model pc000234-ncfba AvAccess model 4kex70-L Pwaytek model GuangDa Orei model hd12-e132-k Actually it's 6 I've tried..feels like 7 lol

Thanks for the quick reply. The extender I'm using now is actually the same brand as you are. It works fine for the 1080p in the master with the 1080p monitor, I'm going to bring it into the kitchen to see if it works there. I've even had momentary success with it on the 4k monitor while the...

Hey everyone, new member here. Firstly want to thank everyone for the wealth of knowledge shared here that I've been able to lurk on, and now I've encountered an issue I cant seem to find an answer for. My house is pre-wired with cat5 to 2 monitor locations. The cat5 was ran instead of hdmi...
