4K UHD HDMI 2.0 Extender - Up to 90' (49' to Input & 49' to Output). U

The Kramer PT-3H2 is a 4K UHD and HDR HDMI 2.0 extender designed to increase the cable distance between an HDMI player and an HDMI display. Positioned in the HDMI transmission path, it reclocks and equalizes the signal to address the dropout and digital noise, often seen as sparkles, that may occur with long HDMI cable runs. The listed configuration supports extension up to 90 feet, with distances specified as up to 49 feet to the input and 49 feet to the output.

Ideal Use Cases

The PT-3H2 is intended for installations where an HDMI player and display must be separated by more distance than a straightforward cable connection can reliably accommodate. It is particularly relevant when an existing long cable path produces intermittent picture loss or visible digital sparkles. Its 4K UHD, 60 Hz, HDR10, and Dolby Vision capabilities also make it suitable for signal paths that require high-resolution and HDR format support rather than basic HDMI extension alone.

Why Choose This Model

This model combines HDMI extension with active signal correction. Instead of functioning as a passive connection point, the PT-3H2 reclocks and equalizes the HDMI signal as it travels from the player to the display. That processing directly targets the signal degradation associated with long HDMI cables. With 18 Gbps bandwidth and HDMI 2.0 support, the extender is specified for 4K HDR transmission at refresh rates up to 60 Hz, including both HDR10 and Dolby Vision.

Installation and Integration

Installation places the PT-3H2 in the transmission path between the HDMI player and HDMI display. The source data lists a run of up to 49 feet on the input side and up to 49 feet on the output side, within a stated extension distance of up to 90 feet. This arrangement allows the extender to reclock and equalize the signal between the two cable segments.

The provided technical data identifies several HDMI cable families and available lengths: C-HM/HM/PRO Premium High-Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet in lengths from 3 to 65 feet; CP-HM/HM/ETH plenum-rated High-Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet from 15 to 50 feet; C-HM/HM PREMIUM High-Speed HDMI Cable from 3 to 50 feet; C-MHM/MHM Flexible High-Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet from 1 to 35 feet; and C-HM/HM/FLAT/ETH Flat High-Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet from 6 to 75 feet. The listed C-HM/HM/PRO, C-HM/HM PREMIUM, C-MHM/MHM, and C-HM/HM/FLAT/ETH families include K-Lock connectors.

Performance Highlights

The PT-3H2 supports an 18 Gbps HDMI signal bandwidth and refresh rates up to 60 Hz. Its video capabilities include 4K UHD resolution and HDR support for HDR10 and Dolby Vision. Reclocking restores signal timing while equalization compensates for signal loss across the cable path. Together, these functions are used to remove picture dropouts and the digital sparkles that can result from long HDMI cable runs.

What Makes It Different

The distinguishing feature of the PT-3H2 is its focused approach to long-distance HDMI signal quality. It extends the connection while actively processing the HDMI signal at an intermediate point between the player and display. The combination of HDMI 2.0, 18 Gbps bandwidth, 60 Hz operation, and support for two specified HDR formats gives the unit a clearly defined role in 4K HDR signal paths affected by cable distance.

Final Assessment

For an HDMI installation experiencing dropout or digital sparkles over a long cable path, the PT-3H2 provides a purpose-built extension point with reclocking and equalization. Its listed support for 4K UHD, 60 Hz, 18 Gbps bandwidth, HDR10, and Dolby Vision establishes the key performance parameters before integration. The up-to-90-foot extension specification and documented input-side and output-side distances make it a targeted option for connecting a separated HDMI player and display.
