ATEN VE801 HDBaseT Lite Extender

Overview

The ATEN VE801 is a compact HDBaseT Lite extender designed to transmit HDMI audio/video signals over a single Cat 5e or Cat 6 cable. This device is suited for extending displays up to 230 feet (70 meters) from the source, ideal for digital signage, conference rooms, or any scenario requiring remote display of an HDMI source without signal degradation. The VE801 model specifically refers to the transmitter unit, implying a receiver unit is required for a complete point-to-point extension.

Compatibility

This extender is designed to work with HDBaseT Lite-compatible devices. It requires a corresponding HDBaseT Lite receiver unit to complete the signal path. When paired with a receiver, it supports standard HDMI resolutions and audio formats. Compatibility is typically assured with other ATEN HDBaseT Lite products and potentially third-party HDBaseT Lite certified equipment, though specific model verification is recommended for non-ATEN components.

Installation Notes

The VE801 utilizes a single RJ-45 female connector for its Cat 5e/6 connection, facilitating straightforward network cable integration. It operates within a humidity range of 0% to 80% RH, non-condensing, making it suitable for most indoor environments. The maximum transmission distance is limited to 230 feet (70 meters) over Cat 5e/6 cabling. Ensure proper cable termination and integrity for optimal performance.
