Ethernet cables can carry video and audio signals with extenders
Tech outlets report that standard Ethernet category cables can transmit power, video, and audio when paired with specific adapters.
Cables handle multiple signal types
These accessories connect devices to a router but also move other data. They are capable of carrying video, audio, and electrical power simultaneously.
Adapters enable long distance runs
Users must buy HDMI extenders to pair with Cat5e or Cat6 wires. One unit sits at the source while another connects at the destination. The cable acts as a bridge between these two separate devices.
This method differs from networking
The setup does not function as standard Ethernet networking for data transfer. Instead, it uses the physical wire to move signals over greater distances than typical HDMI cables allow.
