C2G C2G30055 – 4K HDBaseT Extender HDMI + USB + RS232 over Cat6a 328ft

Product Overview

The C2G C2G30055 HDBaseT 3.0 extender kit transmits 4K 60Hz HDMI, USB 2.0, RS232, Ethernet, and up to 100W of power delivery over a single Cat6a cable up to 328 feet — making it a complete AV and control signal extension solution for interactive displays, whiteboards, and conference room systems. Using HDBaseT 3.0 with 5Play technology, this HDMI over Cat extender kit eliminates the need for separate USB, control, and power cable runs, reducing infrastructure complexity in permanent commercial AV installations.

Product Description

The C2G30055 transmits an uncompressed 4K 60Hz (4:4:4) HDMI 2.0 signal alongside USB 2.0 (USB-B to USB-A), RS232 serial control, 1Gbps Ethernet pass-through, and 100W PoH (Power over HDBaseT) across a single Cat6a cable. At the transmitter end, a USB-B port accepts the host computer's USB connection; the receiver presents a USB-A port for the interactive display or peripheral. A dip switch on the unit allows RS232 pass-through in either direction, supporting bidirectional control for touch displays and room control processors.

HDCP 2.2 support ensures compatibility with protected 4K content sources. The included power supply can power both the transmitter and receiver, or PoH can provide power to remote devices at the display end. This kit is particularly well-suited for boardrooms and training rooms where interactive whiteboards or large-format touch displays require simultaneous video, USB touch, and RS232 control signals extended from a rack-mounted source device more than 100 feet away.

Key Features

• 4K 60Hz (4:4:4) HDMI 2.0 Extension — Transmits uncompressed ultra-high-definition HDMI at full 4K 60Hz with 4:4:4 chroma over a single Cat6a cable up to 328ft.
• USB 2.0 Extension (USB-B to USB-A) — Extends USB 2.0 alongside HDMI on the same Cat6a cable, enabling touch input from interactive displays and whiteboards without a separate USB cable run.
• RS232 Serial Control Pass-Through — Dip-switch-selectable RS232 direction supports bidirectional control integration with room control systems and touch displays.
• 1Gbps Ethernet Pass-Through — Passes 1Gbps network connectivity through the HDBaseT link, eliminating a separate network cable to the display location.
• 100W Power over HDBaseT (PoH) — Delivers up to 100W of power to remote devices over the Cat6a cable, powering displays or peripheral equipment at the receiver end.
• HDCP 2.2 Support — Compatible with HDCP 2.2 protected 4K content from Blu-ray players, streaming devices, and secure corporate sources.
• Single Cat6a Cable Run — All signals — video, USB, control, network, power — travel over one Cat6a cable, minimizing conduit usage and installation labor.
• HDBaseT 3.0 / 5Play Technology — Full 5Play feature set: uncompressed 4K video, audio, Ethernet, control, and power over a single cable.

Typical Applications

• Interactive whiteboard extension in classrooms and training rooms
• Boardroom 4K display extension with USB touch and RS232 control
• Conference room AV rack to display signal distribution
• Government meeting room display systems with control integration
• Large-format display installations requiring power, video, and USB over single cable

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this kit support 4K 60Hz with full color?

Yes. The C2G30055 transmits uncompressed 4K 60Hz at 4:4:4 chroma over Cat6a at up to 328ft, supporting the full HDMI 2.0 bandwidth of 18Gbps.

What USB devices can be extended with this kit?

USB 2.0 devices including interactive whiteboard touch panels, USB mice, keyboards, and control interfaces are supported. The transmitter uses a USB-B port (connects to host computer) and the receiver provides a USB-A port (connects to display or peripheral).

Can the RS232 pass-through be used with a room control system?

Yes. The RS232 control port is bidirectional and dip-switch selectable for direction, making it compatible with Crestron, AMX, Extron, and other control processors that manage display power and input selection via serial commands.

What cable type is required?

Cat6a is required for the full 328ft (100m) extension distance. For shorter runs, Cat6 may be used with reduced maximum distance. Shielded solid-conductor cable is recommended for permanent installation.

Can PoH power the display at the receiver end?

The C2G30055 supports up to 100W of Power over HDBaseT, which can power compatible PoH-enabled displays or peripheral devices at the receiver without a separate power connection.

What warranty does C2G provide on this kit?

C2G provides a standard commercial product warranty. Contact Creation Networks at creationnetworks.net for warranty and RMA support.
