Hi all. Just to update you guys who helped me out with my problem. I bought a CAT6 shielded foiled cable 30m long, I installed it around the wall then I waited for the idc modules to come that weekend. Needed the idc modules since the copper wires wouldn't fit any CAT6 connectors, I even bought the CAT6 connectors for shielded cables but it didn't fit. That weekend I installed the CAT6 cable to the idc modules then I connected ready made CAT6 foiled, shielded cables which is each 1m long going from the idc module to the HDMI extender. The cable didn't work, couldn't get a picture. So I just took the CAT6 cable off and put the CAT5e cable back in which I installed earlier on. At first it was very pixelated with green dots on large areas so I reset the HDMI extender on both ends and guess what? The noise in the cable reduced significantly, there is still green pixels like old analogue TV but it's ok for viewing. I hope this thread helps someone save some money and time. Thank you all for your suggestions and advice.

Gentlemen I have some progress. I used the T-568a wiring as suggested in this thread and now I have a picture using the CAT5e cable that's 25m long. BAD NEWS: The picture has green grains in certain places possibly the dark areas since its night now. How can I remove this and clear the picture up? Thank you chaps we're nearly there.

I have a tester but I haven't tested yet. Thank you for notifying about the regulations, saved me time and money. I am confused regarding what I actually bought now. Is it definitely not a HDMI to LAN device? The purpose of it is to convert the HDMI signal down the LAN cable then convert it back to HDMI. Would a CAT6a cable work or even a CAT7? What I'll do to eliminate any issues before purchasing CAT 6 cable by your combined suggestions is: Try T-568A wiring Test cable with tester Buy a CAT6 shielded cable pure copper possibly foiled

Thanks all for giving up your time to help me out. The advice and suggestions were absolutely fantastic and I now have clarity on what I need to do. First I will try changing the RJ45 to T-568A as suggested. If that doesn't work then... I have decided to go for the cheaper option of replacing the cable instead of replacing the HDMI extender. Will go for a CAT6 oxygen-free copper cable 25 meters long. Will update you all on how I get on. Don't expect to hear in a couple of days since I will be ordering the cable from China, I have no idea on how long the delivery will take. Thanks all very grateful for your help.

Thank you for your reply. This device only needs one ethernet cable running from sender to receiver. Apparently it's good enough to carry signal up to 60 meters. I only need 25 meters. I did clip the cable on the wall with cable clips and was very careful. As mentioned above I may need a CAT6 cable. Are there other solutions? Thank you so far for all your suggestions.

Thank you for your reply. I was dreading that answer of changing the cable. The CAT5e cable is already around the house and clipped onto the external wall (took me a while to do). I will need to keep the cable length so shortening it is not an option. Is the type of cable key here on making the picture transfer? Also you mention this device is not a HDMI to LAN converter. What is the difference between the one you mention and the other one? Thanks so much for helping me out.

Hello everybody, I am here looking for your help please. I am trying to get my CCTV picture to another room using a HDMI to LAN extender. Bellow is the device I'm using. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3D-1080p-HD-HDMI-IR-Extender-Sender-Adapter-Over-60m-LAN-RJ45-CAT5e-CAT6-7-Cable/252397634915?hash=item3ac4124563:g:Wb0AAOSw241Yb56I The LAN cable running from the sender to the receiver around 25 meters long is a CAT5e twisted copper (the same cable I used to install my CCTV cameras). I have crimped the RJ45 connectors using the T-568B CAT6 wire diagram. On both the sender and the receiver the l.e.d light is a steady orange after flashing a few times on power up. The steady orange light indicates the signal is being sent from sender, also the signal is being received by the receiver. THIS IS WHERE I'M STUCK PEOPLE! I am not getting a picture on the TV that I'm trying to view the CCTV picture. My TV says there's no HDMI signal being received. Any advice, suggestions, tips will be most appreciated. Thank you!!!
