I have a non-powered cat 6 extender and it won't work with my PS4, I am not sure why. Will this product work?

Nothing is guaranteed, however powered extenders work much better than non-powered.

Based on reviews and web research I found that is best to have a power unit if these conditions are true for your application: Distance from device to TV is grater than 5 feet, great for watching 3D and high definition content. You want to have a powered unit to ensure you have the best transmission possible specially when dealing with such high definition systems. NOTE: In everything I read it is VERY important to make sure the two CAT 6 cables are exactly the same length and that the cables are not damage in any form such like cuts and bends.I hope this helps.

I'm not sure about the PS4 specifically. I've not tried running a gaming system through our extenders, but I've run several other video feeds. Depending upon the length of your run, the non-powered extender might not have a strong enough signal - that could be your problem. I'm running two of these between 75-110 feet and have not noticed any signal loss (using PC or DVD video feeds).

i had the same problem with a powered hdmi over cat6 extender with my playstation. worked great with tv but not with playstation.this product solved this problem. i use a fiber optic audio from playstation to my home theater and use this cable to run the video from p/s to flat screen tv. sound works as well but tv speakers suck. good luck!

I would have to say no. I could not get this product to work correctly from PC to TV on about 25ft of new cat5e.

This works very well with EVERY device I have tested it with.. including my ps3, xbox, directv and more.. a powered device such as this is definitely the way to go

The extenders are to connect 2 HDMI devices eg. Your computer HDMI port to your TV. You require 2 cat5 or Cat 6 cables to do this but at no moment do you connect any of these cables to your router or an ethernet switch. The cable are independant from any ethernet network

if you go to amazon and type in MEDIABRIDGE CAT-5-E ETHERNET PATCH CABLE IF YOU READ IT IT IS USED ON A ps3 or some have used it sorry i cant be more help hope you make out

Am a little technically challenged but I think first choice would be to run cat-5 cable, second would be the adapter (as long as the room holding the adapter is on the same electrical panel and third would be the extender.

I think you're asking if this will work with Power Over Ethernet (POE) adapters. The answer is No. POE switches, routers and adapters operate in a totally different way. This unit is designed to be used with a single ethernet cable run between the transmitter balun and the receiver balun. The ethernet cable should NOT be connected to anything else but these two baluns. The difference is that these are analog and POE is digital. It wouldn't work.

Yes it will work with Cat6a cables. The wiring at the plug/jack is the same for all Cat-5 and -6 cables, the differences are in the manufacturing of the cable itself, twists per foot, insulating media, etc., not in the termination at the jack/plug.

Move it closer to the router or use a Ethernet over powerline adapter. Lastly use another Z wave adapter as a repeater...good luck.

I'd use cat5 hardwire to your router firmware usually fails with wi-fi and it is basically useless if you don't update the firmware when asked. But mine is a couple of years old it may have changed since then.

It should work as long as you have 5 volts of power provided by the PS4 USB in the PS4 , you could even power it up if you wanted to use a USB wall plug in like you were going to use to charge your phone would be another way to power it , plug it in to the TV USB and that should even power it up too, might need a USB extension cord depending on how far away your TV is , but there are more ways to power it up , so you will get it powered some way or another.

You need an cat5 ethernet cord. I also found the system quite buggy. Would probably gotten something else. Also wouldnt do the update but leave it as is? Troublesome but attractive hardware.

Hi Robby. If you plug in the Linksys WES610N to your PS4's Ethernet port, the bridge will act as the wireless adapter. It will only see the 5 GHz network of the wireless router.

Likely yes, but : "...that's wired with cat6 if" what? I don't think your whole question made it into the post.

It works perfectly fine with Cat 6 (mine was Cat6 plenum). I used this throughout my home three months ago, all connections tested correctly, and I haven't seen any issues at all.

Cat 6 will work just fine. Cat5e will also work per IEEE specifications, however, I always use Cat6 and have not had any issues. This switch is working fine for me so far.

No it will not work at all I even bought a HDMI switcher nothing works.Unless u want to change from cable to netflex by taking one out so the other will work for not buy it.

I also thought this might work before I bought it, but as other commentators mentioned, it doesn't. The extenders just transport raw, layer-1 TMDS and DDC signals on the available pins of a Cat-5e or Cat-6 cable, and they don't convert the signal to a layer-2 Ethernet frame that a network switch could understand. But if you can lay some relatively flat (low-thickness) Ethernet cables under your carpet, this solution may be better than some of the IP-based alternatives, like the "StarTech.com IPUSB2HD2 HDMI over IP Extender with Audio," which seems to output a grainy, VGA-quality picture at any length of a cable run.

I have not tried this but have had two extenders one after the other from the router. I would think that it would work fine. But call Hawking to be sure. Their tech support has been good for me. Henry blue ridge
