Used 2 CAT5 cables converted with data/network modular plugs. Checked with tester and ok. Not sending signal to TV. Approx 50ft. Ideas Please.

I never got these to work on anything over 25 feet, you may want to try a signal booster, some cables (HDMI) come with one built in.

Agree with the above. First need to be sure signal is going through the cable. Make sure that the source is set to optical out.

It should light up upon receiving and sending a signal on both ends check to make sure your cat 5 cables are not swapped make sure each cable goes to the same port on both units the the receiver is plugged and and that all sending and receing scources our powered on

Sounds to me like you have a weak signal coming into your home. Get a cable technician out to your place with his meter. A weak signal is most likely the problem. Shouldn't cost you nothing.

If cable is find then try using a different splitter. If not that, then maybe you have bad piece of coaxial going to TV #2. I don't know what else it could be. My cable is in the attic and already had a splitter feeding two TVs in bedroom upstairs and living room downstairs. I just disconnected main cable (at the splitter) coming into home and reconnected to antenna. Both TVs work fine. I have a 55in Sony Bravia and a 40in Samsung, both flat LCD LED 1080p. 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.

Other than defective cable, basic trouble shooting: which i guess you already tied. Connect both end properly, make sure micro HDMI goes all the way in. Check you TV input & select the appropriate input for PC. Mine worked without any issue.

I'm on my second cable box. Same problem on both, although the second box does get a better signal for the non-HD stations. Let me know how it goes.

To be honest, I have no idea why. Mine just took it out of the box and connected my ps4, and the from there my 2 tvs, nothing else connected. Everything it's been working fine.I haven't touched or moved since I installed. Sorry for your issues.

I'm not sure if there is a cable length limit on the tester (I don't remember seeing one in the instructions) but there is a length limit of 100 meters in the Ethernet data transfer standards for Cat5 cable and I'm sure that the tester would have been made to test up to this "universal" standard.

I'm having the same problem. No issues with the component connection, but problems with the HDMI connection. It sometimes shows fine and sometimes shows no signal (or takes 10-15 seconds to change channel). It is perfect with the Component connection.Like the others here I have a Samsung HD Cable box from Time Warner.

I don't know, but it works fine in my 100' signal application. I'm not drawing power over Ethernet.

the cable from antanna goes to the in or input and the other goes to your tv the out put hope this helps good luck and dont forget to turn power button on after its all hooked up

It could be the loss of the EDID due to a timing issue between the TV and the cable box. There is an inexpensive box that may solve your problem. google for "Got HDCP Connection Problems?"

Follow-up: I tried hooking my unit up with a digital TV signal converter and it didn't work.

I have also run more like 75' of cat5e cable and mine is working fine. I would trust the long cat5 cable more than the wireless link. Tech support's 10' comment was off-base.

The wire size is not stamped or laser imprinted on the outside insulation jacket of the cable, my best guess is somwhere between18 Awg and 22Awg. If you need to know exact you might want to get in touch with blue rigger. I do know that 50 foot runs are awful long and you need to consider signal loss as a possible issue, if you do have signal loss try using a signal booster.Thanks
