Kramer HDMI / USB over HDBaseT 3.0 Receiver with RS-232 / IR / PoE / Ethernet

Kramer HDMI / USB over HDBaseT 3.0 Receiver with RS-232 / IR / PoE / Ethernet Overview

The Kramer EXT3-POE-XR is a high-performance 4K60 4:4:4 HDBaseT 3.0 receiver designed to extend HDMI video, USB, Ethernet, RS-232, IR, and power over twisted-pair copper infrastructure. It supports transmission distances of up to 330 ft (100.6 m) using optional Cat copper cables and can handle uncompressed 4K60 (4:4:4) signals.

The receiver provides bidirectional PoE, allowing it to either supply power to a remote PoE-enabled device or accept power from a remote PoE source over the HDBaseT extension cable. This provides additional flexibility when integrating the receiver into professional AV installations.
