SIIG DisplayPort to CAT5e Daisy Chain HD with RS-232 & IR - Repeater

Experience seamless DisplayPort extension over cost-effective CAT5e/6 cabling with SIIG’s DisplayPort to CAT5e Daisy Chain HD Extender Kit. This repeater-enabled system is designed to receive a DP signal from a source and reliably deliver high-definition video to distant displays, using inexpensive network-grade cables. Built for versatility, it includes RS-232 and IR control to integrate with room automation, digital signage networks, and education or corporate AV installations. Whether you’re distributing content across a single long run or building a multi-display daisychained setup, this extender kit combines performance, flexibility, and ease of use.

With a focus on delivering crisp visuals and stable control, the repeater helps maintain signal integrity over extended distances. The kit is ideal for conference rooms, classrooms, retail displays, and command centers where cost savings on wiring are crucial without compromising on image quality or control capabilities. RS-232 support allows integration with legacy control systems, while IR pass-through makes it possible to run source commands from a remote location. The result is a scalable, reliable, and simple-to-deploy solution for distributing DisplayPort content across larger venues or across multiple displays in a daisy-chained configuration.
