Overview
The Eaton B126-4X4 is a 4x4 HDMI over Cat5/Cat6 matrix switch designed for distributing multiple HDMI sources across multiple remote displays using Ethernet cabling infrastructure. It enables flexible routing where any input can be sent to any output or simultaneously broadcast to multiple screens.
This system supports Full HD video transmission up to 1080p (60 Hz) and extends signals up to 175 ft (53 m) depending on receiver type and cabling. It is built for structured AV deployments in digital signage networks, control rooms, retail environments, classrooms, and corporate presentation systems where long-distance HDMI distribution is required without signal degradation.
The unit operates with Eaton/Tripp Lite B126-series receivers over Cat5e/6 cabling and supports multiple control methods including front-panel buttons, IR remote, and RS-232 serial control. It is designed for plug-and-play deployment with no driver or software installation required.
This platform is not intended for 4K video workflows, ultra-low-latency broadcast production, or standalone HDMI switching without paired receiver infrastructure.
