Description

Black Box ACS2001A-R3 CATx DVI-D with DDC SL Extender Kit

Overview

The Black Box ACS2001A-R3 is a CATx DVI-D extender kit designed to transmit high-definition digital video and DDC (Display Data Channel) signals over a single, standard CAT5e/6/6a cable. This kit is essential for deployments where a DVI-D source needs to be located up to 300 feet away from its display, such as in digital signage, video conferencing rooms, or control centers. It ensures signal integrity for resolutions up to 1080p at 60Hz, maintaining the clarity and responsiveness required for professional AV applications. The ACS2001A-R3 includes both the transmitter and receiver units, simplifying installation for point-to-point extension.

Compatibility

This extender kit is compatible with any DVI-D compliant video source and display. It supports DDC communication, allowing the display to communicate its capabilities (resolution, refresh rate) back to the source. It functions with standard CAT5e, CAT6, or CAT6a Ethernet cabling for optimal performance up to 300 feet. For resolutions beyond 1080p or longer distances, consider higher-bandwidth extenders or fiber optic solutions.

Installation Notes

Requires a single CAT5e/6/6a cable, up to 300 feet in length. Both the transmitter and receiver units require external power supplies (included). Ensure the CATx cable is properly terminated to TIA/EIA-568B standards for reliable DDC signal transmission. Avoid running CATx cable parallel to high-voltage power lines to minimize interference.
