Huidu HD-HT01-TX/RX HDMI Signal Extender
The Huidu HD-HT01-TX/RX is a point-to-point HDMI extender for sending video from an HDMI source to a remote display over a single CAT5e/6 cable.

The HD-HT01 manual specifies up to 70 m at 4K60 or 80 m at 1080p, subject to cable quality and installation conditions.
