The KanexPro WP-HDBASETX is a 2-gang Decora-style HDBaseT wall plate transmitter for mixed HDMI and legacy VGA environments. Accepting one HDMI 1.4 and one VGA + 3.5mm audio input, it automatically selects the active source and extends the signal up to 230 feet (70 meters) over a single shielded CAT6 cable to a compatible HDBaseT receiver (sold separately). A built-in VGA scaler automatically matches the VGA input to the display's native resolution — supporting outputs up to 1920×1080 — eliminating resolution mismatch issues common in mixed-source rooms.

Purpose-built for classrooms, lecture halls, and boardrooms where both modern HDMI laptops and legacy VGA workstations must connect to the same display system, the WP-HDBASETX supports Power over HDBaseT (PoH) so the transmitter can be powered remotely from the receiver — removing the need for local AC at the wall plate. RS-232 control enables integration with third-party room control systems and supports full bidirectional command pass-through to the display. A locking HDMI connector prevents accidental disconnection in high-traffic installations. Matte anodized aluminum dual-gang form factor. FCC Class A certified.
