In-depth technical details

Standard USB has a real, spec-defined maximum cable length of about 5 metres unshielded -- reaching 45m requires active extension electronics at both ends encoding the USB signal to survive the Cat6 run, not a passive long USB cable.

Two separate units

This product is physically two separate units, not one box: a transmitter near the signal source and a receiver near the display, joined by Cat6 network cable up to 45m.

From the published standard

How it works

An extender is a pair of devices: a transmitter at the source and a receiver at the display. The transmitter re-encodes the HDMI signal so it can travel over long, inexpensive twisted-pair network cable, and the receiver rebuilds HDMI at the far end. That sidesteps the short copper limit of direct HDMI. The quoted distance assumes solid-core cable of at least Cat6; thin patch cable or copper-clad aluminium will fall short of it in practice.

Topology
Transmitter + receiver pair, both required
Link medium
Twisted-pair network cable, Cat6 or better
Distance caveat
Rated distance assumes solid copper Cat6; CCA cable reduces it
