    Works well when both devices are connected to the power supply.

    Works in principle. However, for cable lengths of more than 30m, both transmitter and receiver must be connected to the power supply.

    Recommended!

    Basically, it does what it's supposed to do and that's great.

    Due to the lack of bells and whistles, it is very easy to understand and set up.
    There are no settings to be made. It only needs one Cat cable and only one     power supply unit, which can be connected to the transmitter or receiver as required - the respective counterpart is supplied via Cat. Very nice!
    (But for some applications: no possibility for EDID adjustment can be a disadvantage).

    As with many devices of this type, the manufacturer's advice to use "installation cables" (i.e. rigid conductors) must be followed. You won't get nearly as far with patch cables (flexible strands). I tested it with a Wirewin 30m S/FTP Cat.6, at 720p - it didn't work. I shortened it by about 10m, then it worked.
    It also says so in the instructions. Operation with patch cables is possible in principle, but no function or achievable length can be guaranteed.


    PS: with 50m "Draka Patch Pro Flex Cat.7" - i.e. also flexible patch cable - the track works perfectly when plugged directly between source and sink. Both with 1080i and 720p. However, with further devices in the chain (matrix, extender, scaler) there are HDCP problems. It is possible that HDCP was also the cause of the problem during the first test with the Cat6 cable, but unfortunately I can no longer verify this.
