C2G C2G31013 – HDBaseT Box to Box HDMI + USB + RS232 Extender 4K 60Hz

Product Overview

The C2G C2G31013 HDBaseT Box-to-Box Extender Kit extends 4K 60Hz HDMI, 3.5mm audio, USB 2.0, and RS232 control from a compact box transmitter to a box receiver over a single Cat5e, Cat6, or Cat6a cable — up to 130ft at 4K over Cat6a, or 230ft at 1080p over Cat5e/6. The box-to-box form factor suits AV rack installations where a wall plate is not required — the transmitter mounts near the source device in the rack or on a table, and the receiver mounts near the display. Designed for conference rooms, classrooms, and lecture halls requiring USB whiteboard extension alongside HDMI signal distribution.

Product Description

The box transmitter accepts HDMI (up to 4K 60Hz at 4:4:4 with HDCP 2.2), a 3.5mm audio input for analog audio embedding, and a USB-B connection from the host computer. RS232 pass-through supports display power and input control from Crestron, AMX, Extron, and other room control processors. All signals are transmitted over a single Cat cable to the box receiver, which outputs HDMI to the display and USB-A to the whiteboard or touch device.

The box-to-box design is the preferred form factor for AV rack environments where the source is a dedicated PC or media player and a wall plate presenter connection is not required. The compact enclosures allow surface mounting near the source and display respectively.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I choose box-to-box over a wall plate kit?

Box-to-box is the right choice when the HDMI source is a dedicated rack-mounted PC, media player, or AV processor where a wall plate presenter connection is not needed. Wall plate kits suit rooms where users bring their own laptops.

What is the maximum 4K distance?

Up to 130ft (40m) at 4K 60Hz over Cat6a. 1080p extends to 230ft over Cat5e or Cat6.

Does this support interactive whiteboards?

Yes. USB-B on the transmitter connects to the host and USB-A on the receiver connects to the whiteboard, extending both video and USB touch simultaneously.
