HDMI® Receiver - Part Number VPW-280781

The Vanco 280781 HDMI Receiver uses 2 UTP cables to transport a HDMI signal from the Vanco 280709 
HDMI 8x8 Matrix Selector Switch or VPW-280608 HDMI 1x8 Splitter over UTP. This allows the HDMI signal 
to be transported a maximum distance of 50 meters (164 ft) while using dual Cat-5e or Cat 6 UTP cable as 
the transmission media.  

Benefits of using the Vanco VPW-280781 HDMI Receiver:

1.  The length of an HDMI cable is fixed after the connectors are attached at the factory and must be 

purchased in various standard lengths. This is because the HDMI connector can only be soldered and 
terminated by trained workers using specialized fixtures and test equipment in a factory. The installer 
normally can’t do an effective job in the field. However, Cat 5e and Cat 6 bulk cables are available and 
most installers have the proper tools and hand-held testers to fabricate custom lengths with RJ-45 
modular plugs in the field.

2.  By using dual Cat 5e or Cat 6 UTP cables, a transmission distance for 1080p signals of 50 meters (164 

ft) can be achieved. For 1080i distances of 60m (196 ft) can be achieved. In general, HDMI cables are 
only available in fixed lengths and the signal must be re-generated when these lengths exceed 15 to 20 
meters (50 to 66 ft).

3.  The Receiver working with the Matrix Switch has the ability of equalizing and amplifying the HDMI signal. 

It is also possible to use additional Transmitter and Receiver pairs to create a larger distribution area by 
daisy chaining these together.

4.  The IR system can control the sources from the sinks, or can control the sinks from sources. Thus both 

downstream and upstream controls are available. Supports 30 kHz to 56 kHz IR signals.
