Overview
The KanexPro HDBASE100ME is a professional HDBaseT transmitter-receiver kit that extends Ultra HD 4K HDMI, multi-channel audio, bidirectional IR, RS-232 control, and 10/100 Ethernet over a single CAT6 cable up to 330 feet (100 meters). Unlike standard extenders, the HDBASE100ME integrates a 2-port Ethernet switch on both the transmitter and receiver, enabling direct network connectivity for devices at both ends — eliminating the need for additional switches or cable runs. Built in rugged aluminum enclosures with locking HDMI and power connectors, this extender is designed for reliable, long-term deployment in commercial AV installations.

Why does the built-in Ethernet switch matter for signage or classroom installs?
It lets integrators connect a media player, router, or smart TV directly at either end of the HDBaseT run without pulling separate network cabling.
What is the maximum transmission distance of the HDBASE100ME?
330 ft (100m) over a single CAT5e/CAT6 cable using HDBaseT technology.
What HDMI resolutions does the HDBASE100ME support?
480i, 576i, 480p, 576p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p, 3D, and 4K, over an HDMI 1.4 signal path with 10.2 Gbps video bandwidth.
How does the built-in Ethernet switch work?
Each unit has an integrated 2-port 10/100 Mbps Ethernet switch, providing LAN access for a network device at the source and display locations; one of the four total ports (across both units) must connect to a router or switch for internet access.
How is RS-232 control wired between the units?
RS-232 passes bidirectionally between TX and RX through a 3-pin captive screw connector on each unit, allowing a third-party control system to reach devices at either end.
What cable is required and how should it be terminated?
CAT5e or CAT6 cable, shielded recommended, terminated straight-through to TIA/EIA T568A or T568B on both ends.
What power does each unit require?
Each unit (TX and RX) uses its own DC 5V/3A locking-barrel power adapter, drawing 6.5W per unit; two adapters are included in the box.
There is no video or there is color loss on the display. What should I check?
Check the HDMI and CAT5e/6 cable connections, try replacing the cables, and verify the Link LED is solid on both the transmitter and receiver.
RS-232 control is not responding. What should I check?
Verify the COM port number and baud rate configured in the control software, and ensure the RS-232 cable is fully seated in the captive screw connector.
What makes the HDBASE100ME different from a basic HDMI extender?
It integrates a 2-port 10/100 Ethernet switch on both the transmitter and receiver in addition to extending 4K HDMI, IR, and RS-232, so installers can add network drops at the source and display locations over the same CAT6 run.
