Wiring sky box from under stairs to open plan room via cat 6
Discussion
Hi All
I would greatly appreciate any advice on this.
I am building at the moment and decided to wire cat 6 cables all around house and plan is to put sky box along with any other platform in uderstairs and connect via the cat 6 cables by using apadters.
For for instance we have 4 cat 6 cables running from under stairs behind walls to back of tv area in open plan. These cat 6 cables are terminated behind a wall plate with rj45 connectors as per image attached.
The reason we did this was to hide any platform boxes and wires. My question now is how do I connect to tv from wall plate and then how do I connect the cat 6 cables to sky box under stairs?
I was told I could get hdmi connectors but not fully sure which etc so any advice would be great.
The plan in other rooms is similar but nothing will go here for a good while.
Cheers for any info

You want something like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Extender-Repeater-Functio...
you can spend a lot more, but these are fine for normal TV. If you have 4K then you may want better ones with 2 network ports on them.

The more expensive ones use an industry standard spec called HDBT or HDbaseT
They use a single Cat6 cable and can do 4k to 40/70 or even 100m depending spec etc.
They can also power both units from only one end, pass IR, RS232, HDR to 8 & 12bit, break out Audio, pass Network and even offer 3 network ports at the receive end.
So it depend what you need.
