Maximum Distance:
· Cat-5: Worked reliably at all resolutions up to 175ft. Worked at 200ft., but only up to 1024×768. The picture cuts in and out at any higher resolutions at 200ft.
· Cat-6: Worked reliably at all resolutions up to 325ft. Links at up to 350ft., but only to resolutions 1280×720 or lower.
· Blu-ray player: Cat-6 works at up to 300ft. for 1080p and 1080p 3D. It will link at 350ft., but the picture starts to cut in and out. Cat-5 works at 225ft. at 1080p and 1080p 3D perfectly.
The PureLink extender was at of the lower end of the mid-priced units and the overall performance was in line with the price. The LED lights show when linked and powered. The HTE extender is part of PureLink’s new line of HDBaseT extension systems, which provide a more affordable solution for long-distance audio, video, and control signal transmission. The tech support was among the best encountered and they were very helpful each time we had a question. The communication was very easy both through email and on the phone.
