Introduction

Overview

The VGA/DVI/HDMI over Cat 5 Extender Wall Plate extends VGA/DVI/ HDMI and audio signals up to 150 m (for VE156) / 60 m (for VE606 / VE806) using Cat 5e cables. It supports popular wide screen formats and ensures excellent video quality over long distance transmissions. The VE156 / VE606 / VE806, in combination with other ATEN devices such as VGA/DVI/HDMI extenders and MDS solutions, can further extend the distance or multiply A/V sources/displays.

The VE156 / VE606 / VE806 can be powered at either the Transmitter or Receiver side, and uses a second Cat 5e cable to transmit the power signal to the other unit. The compact wall plate design does away with bulky cables and allows a neat and convenient installation. It is an ideal solution for function rooms, museums and any environment that requires equipment or cabling to be kept hidden from public view.
