The ATEN VS1828KIT 8-Port 4K HDMI Cat 6 Splitter with Receivers is a professional HDMI distribution kit designed to send a single HDMI source to up to eight remote displays over Cat 6 cabling. Ideal for commercial AV, corporate communications, education, and digital signage environments, the system supports resolutions up to 4K (4096 × 2160) @ 30 Hz (4:4:4) with receiver distances up to 40 m over Cat 6 (or ATEN 2L-2910) cabling. Built for clean, scalable installations, the splitter includes a local HDMI output for monitoring or cascading, user-adjustable EDID mode selection for stable handshaking, and Power over Cable (PoC) to power all receivers directly from the splitter—reducing display-side power requirements and simplifying deployment.
