Description
The Galileo HKE60LP is a professional-grade signal extension solution designed to bridge the gap between high-definition media sources and remote displays. By utilizing standard CAT6 or CAT5e Ethernet cabling, this device overcomes the inherent distance limitations of traditional HDMI cables, reaching up to 60 meters without signal degradation. The inclusion of an HDMI Loop-Out port on the transmitter allows users to maintain a local monitor setup, ensuring the source content is visible at both the origin and the destination. Encased in a rugged aluminum alloy shell, the unit provides superior heat dissipation and physical protection against scratches and impacts.
This product is for:
- IT and Server Room Administrators: Manage servers from a clean office environment while the hardware remains in a cooled, secure rack.
- Security Surveillance Operators: Extend NVR/DVR feeds to a central monitoring station while keeping the recording hardware in a locked location.
- Digital Signage Professionals: Deploy high-definition advertising displays in public spaces while keeping the media player protected indoors.
- Educational Institutions: Allow instructors to control a podium PC from the back of a lecture hall or laboratory.
- Industrial Control Centers: Isolate sensitive computing equipment from harsh factory floors while maintaining full operator control.

- Resolution Support: 1080p / 1080i / 720p / 576p / 576i / 480p / 480i at 60Hz.
- Transmission Distance: Up to 60 meters (196 feet) via CAT6/CAT5e cable.
- HDMI Cable Compatibility: Supports AWG26 standard cables (Input up to 10m, Output up to 15m).
- KVM Functionality: Dual USB ports for wired or wireless keyboard and mouse control.
- Physical Dimensions: 95mm x 107mm x 29mm; Weight: Transmitter 233g, Receiver 231g.
- Power Supply: DC 5V/1A (included).
Operating the HKE60LP is a seamless, driver-free experience thanks to its plug-and-play architecture. The KVM functionality is particularly responsive, supporting both wired and wireless USB peripherals with minimal latency, which is critical for precision tasks. The aluminum housing feels substantial and professional, providing the durability needed for permanent installations. During long-term operation, the device maintains a stable 4.5Gbps data rate, ensuring that the 1080P video stream remains flicker-free and synchronized with the remote USB inputs.
While both models in the Galileo series offer 60m extension, the HKE60LP is specifically engineered for users who require a local monitoring point via its HDMI Loop-Out port. In contrast, the HKE60 model trades the loop-out feature for a dedicated 3.5mm stereo audio output on the receiver. The HKE60LP is slightly larger in footprint to accommodate the additional HDMI circuitry, making it the preferred choice for broadcast and server management where local verification of the signal is mandatory.
Q&A:
- What type of network cable is required for the full 60m distance? For optimal performance and to reach the full 60-meter range, a high-quality CAT6 cable is recommended, though CAT5e is supported for shorter distances.
- Does this device support 4K resolution? No, the HKE60LP is optimized for 1080P Full HD resolution to ensure maximum stability over long distances.
- Can I use a wireless mouse and keyboard with this extender? Yes, the USB ports on the receiver support both wired and wireless USB HID devices for remote PC control.
- Is the IR pass-through feature included? Yes, the device supports infrared transmission, allowing you to control your source device (like a Blu-ray player) from the remote display location.
- Does it require software installation? No, the system is entirely hardware-based and plug-and-play, requiring no drivers or software configuration.
