Specifications & Support

Compatibility & Input Guide

HKE10SS-E25 is a point-to-point extender for one HDMI source and one remote HDMI display or projector. Connect the source's HDMI output and a USB port to the transmitter, then connect the receiver to the display and remote USB peripherals.Use one continuous 23AWG Cat6 or higher S/FTP shielded cable between the TX and RX RJ45 ports for distances up to 100 m (328 ft). The extension link is not an Ethernet network connection and must not pass through a switch, router, or other active network device. Avoid couplers and patch panels whenever possible.The maximum video output is 3840×2160 at 30 Hz. Confirm that the source, display, HDMI cables, Cat cable, selected EDID mode, and protected content are compatible with HDMI and HDCP 1.4. The extender supports Windows, macOS, Linux, and legacy operating systems.Remote PC power control requires a desktop motherboard with an accessible standard 2-pin front-panel power-switch header. It is not a software-based laptop power-control feature.

FAQ's

Visit our Help Center for more answers.

[Compatibility] What sources, displays, and operating systems work with HKE10SS-E25?

Connect one HDMI source with a matching USB connection to the transmitter and one HDMI display or projector to the receiver. HKE10SS-E25 is compatible with Windows, macOS, Linux, and legacy systems. The source and display must support the resolution and HDCP requirements used in the installation.

[Compatibility] What cable should I use, and what is the maximum extension distance?

Use one continuous 23AWG Cat6 or higher S/FTP shielded cable directly between the transmitter and receiver. The supported distance is up to 100 m (328 ft). Do not route this link through an Ethernet switch, router, or other active network device, and avoid couplers or patch panels whenever possible.

[Compatibility] What is the maximum supported video resolution?

The maximum supported resolution is 3840×2160 at 30 Hz. The extender also supports common lower resolutions, including 1920×1080 at 60 Hz. This model does not support 4K at 60 Hz, and the actual result depends on the source, display, HDMI cables, Cat cable, HDCP compatibility, and selected EDID mode.

[Features & Connections] What signals and controls can HKE10SS-E25 extend?

It extends HDMI video and audio, USB 2.0, bidirectional analog audio, bidirectional infrared, bidirectional RS232 data, and hardware-level remote PC power control between the transmitter and receiver. The extender is HDCP 1.4 compliant and operates with less than 0.1 ms transmission latency.

[Features & Connections] Which USB standard does the extender support?

HKE10SS-E25 supports USB 2.0 at up to 480 Mbps. Use the USB Type-A to Type-B host cable between the computer and transmitter, then connect compatible keyboards, mice, flash drives, storage devices, or other USB 2.0 peripherals to the receiver. USB 3.x devices are limited to USB 2.0 speed, and high-power devices may need separate power or a powered hub.

[Features & Connections] How does bidirectional infrared control work?

IR commands can travel in either direction. To control a source from the receiver side, connect the IR receiver to RX IR In and place the transmitter from TX IR Out over the source's IR sensor. To control the display from the transmitter side, reverse the path using TX IR In and RX IR Out.

[Features & Connections] How does bidirectional audio work?

Analog audio can travel simultaneously in both directions. Send computer-side audio to speakers or headphones near the remote display, or connect a remote-side audio source and return it to the transmitter location. Connect each source to Audio In and the receiving device to the corresponding audio-output port.

[Features & Connections] What does the RS232 connection do?

The RS232 ports provide transparent bidirectional serial-data pass-through for compatible control, monitoring, and configuration equipment. The extender does not create or translate device commands, so both connected serial devices must use matching baud rate, data bits, stop bits, and parity settings.

[Features & Connections] How does remote PC power control work?

The receiver button reproduces a physical motherboard power-button press through the included F-PANEL POWER SW splitter connected at the transmitter. It works independently of the operating system, including pre-boot or BIOS states, and can perform power on, power off, or reset behavior. Verify the motherboard's 2-pin power-switch header before wiring and disconnect AC power before changing internal connections.

[Features & Connections] Do both the transmitter and receiver need power adapters?

No. One 12V adapter can power the linked units from either the transmitter or receiver side, and receiver-side power is recommended. Two adapters are included, so both units may also be powered separately when required by the installation. Use only the supplied or correctly specified 12V adapters.

[Setup] How do I connect the transmitter and receiver?

Connect the computer's HDMI output and USB port to the transmitter. Connect TX directly to RX with the shielded Cat6 link, then connect the receiver to the HDMI display and remote USB devices. Connect power, turn on the source and display, and confirm the Power, Link, and Video indicators. Test first with short HDMI and Cat cables before installing the full-distance run.

[Setup & Switching] How do I select the correct EDID mode?

Use the DIP switch on the receiver. Set switch 2 to ON for fixed 4K@30Hz EDID, set switch 3 to ON for fixed 1080p@60Hz EDID, and use any other combination for Intelligent EDID. After changing the setting, power-cycle the source or reconnect the HDMI input so it reads the updated EDID.

[Setup & Switching] What do the Power, Link, and Video indicators mean?

Red Power means the unit detects DC input. Blue Link means the transmitter and receiver have established the Cat-cable connection. A green Video indicator blinking regularly means an active video signal is detected. If Link is off, check the cable connection and power status.
