Our take on the StarTech HDMI over Ethernet Extender Kit (ST121HDBT20L)

The StarTech ST121HDBT20L sends an HDMI signal over a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable to a receiver up to about 230 feet away. It carries 4K at 30Hz or 1080p, so it suits running a display to another room or a distant screen without long HDMI runs. It is a plain point-to-point extender: no matrix switching, no IR passthrough and no HDBaseT certification, which separates it from pricier HDBaseT kits. Buyers who need 4K at 60Hz or control of the source from the far end should look elsewhere.

Pros
  • Runs over one Cat5e/Cat6 cable, cheaper to install than long HDMI
  • Supports 4K at 30Hz and 1080p
  • Transmitter and receiver both included in the kit
  • Compact metal housings with HDMI and Ethernet ports
  • Powered from the transmitter side, so the receiver needs no separate adapter
Cons
  • 4K is limited to 30Hz, not 60Hz
  • No IR or CEC passthrough to control the source from the far end
  • Point-to-point only, with no matrix or multi-display switching
  • Not HDBaseT certified, so it won't interoperate with HDBaseT gear
  • Needs a dedicated cable run; it won't work over a network switch

What reviewers say

Owner feedback is limited, but the pattern is that it works reliably for straightforward 1080p and 4K30 runs over a single cable. Complaints center on the 30Hz 4K limit and the lack of remote control passthrough.

What people mention
  • 4K refresh rateCriticisedOwners note 4K tops out at 30Hz, which is fine for video but not for 60Hz gaming or desktop use.
  • SetupPraisedBuyers describe it as plug-and-play once the cable run is in place.
  • BuildPraisedThe metal housings feel sturdy and survive being tucked behind a TV.
  • Remote controlCriticisedNo IR or CEC passthrough means you can't control the source from the far end.
  • Cable runMixedIt needs a dedicated Cat5e/Cat6 run and won't work through a network switch.

Questions and answers

Does it support 4K at 60Hz?
No. It passes 4K at 30Hz and 1080p. For 4K60 you need a higher-bandwidth extender, usually an HDBaseT or optical HDMI kit.
How far can the cable run be?
StarTech rates it to about 230 feet over a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable. Use solid copper cable and keep the run direct, with no switch in between.
Can I control the source device from the TV end?
No. There is no IR or CEC passthrough, so you control the source at the transmitter side or with a separate remote system.
What's in the box?
The transmitter, the receiver, and power hardware for the transmitter side. You supply the Cat5e/Cat6 cable and the HDMI cables at each end.
Does it work through a network switch?
No. It is a point-to-point extender, so the cable must run directly from transmitter to receiver.
Is it HDBaseT compatible?
No. It is StarTech's own extension scheme, so it won't pair with HDBaseT transmitters or receivers.
