The Black Box AC555A-4-R2 is a VGA extender designed to transmit video signals over extended distances, up to 500 feet (152.4 meters). This device is crucial for deployments where a display needs to be located far from the video source, such as in digital signage, command centers, or surveillance monitoring stations. It ensures that video quality is maintained over the longer cable run, preventing signal degradation that would occur with standard VGA cables.
This extender is compatible with any standard VGA video source and display. It functions as a point-to-point solution, meaning one transmitter connects to one receiver. It is suitable for use with PCs, laptops, DVRs, NVRs, and any other device outputting a VGA signal, provided the remote display also accepts VGA input. The AC555A-4-R2 is designed for use with standard CAT5e or CAT6 Ethernet cabling for signal transmission.
Installation involves connecting the VGA source to the local transmitter unit and the remote display to the receiver unit using standard VGA cables (not included). The transmitter and receiver are then linked via a single CAT5e or CAT6 Ethernet cable, which carries both the video signal and power. Ensure the Ethernet cable used is of good quality and does not exceed the 500-foot maximum length to guarantee optimal performance and signal integrity.
