What is the maximum extension distance?
The maximum extension distance is 328ft for a 4K signal.
Do both the transmitter and receiver need to be powered?
No, power for the extension solution will be from a single side. As a general rule, wall plate transmitters will be powered from the receiver side, but the powered side varies by kit.
What type of Category cable is recommended for the extension?
Cat6a or HDBaseT Certified Cat6a patch cables are the recommended cables for the extension.
What signal(s) does the USB-C port (if applicable) support?
The USB-C port is an input for AV only.

Yes, HDBaseT supports both for total protection of copyrighted content.
What is the bandwidth for the USB Extension for transmitters that feature as USB-B port?
Those extenders support a USB 2.0 bandwidth (480Mbps).
What is the AV output port on the receivers?
All receivers have an HDMI AV output port. Some receivers also provide a separate audio output if "De-embedder" is part of the features.
Are the transmitter and receiver from a kit required to be used as a pair, or can they be mixed with like kits?
The transmitter and receiver from a kit are not paired and can be mixed with like kits. For example, if you have two kits of C2G30010, the transmitter from the first kit may be used with the receiver from the second.
How do the latest HDBaseT units differ from their previous versions?
These units (C2G31011, C2G31012, C2G31013, C2G31015) have a field firmware update option and can be upgraded in the field via the Micro-USB port on the front panel of the wall plate transmitters and via the RS232 port on the rear of the receivers.
What is the most notable feature for this latest kit?
The two top USB-A ports on the receivers that include USB extension allow for camera streaming utilizing a higher amperage: 1.4A max on top 2 USB-A ports; 0.6A max on bottom 2 USB-A ports.
HDBaseT was created as a long-distance AV connectivity solution to extend HDMI and DVI-D technology. With the effective range of a native HDMI connection limited to just a few dozen meters, there is a clear market demand for a single standard, simplified connection that can transport high-definition audio-video content at least 100 meters.
