ATEN VE806 HDMI Over CAT5 Extender Wallplate
Overview
The ATEN VE806 is a compact wallplate extender designed to transmit HDMI video signals over standard CAT5e or CAT6 cabling. It's engineered for scenarios where you need to route high-definition video from a source to a display located at a distance, without the signal degradation associated with long HDMI runs. This unit is ideal for conference rooms, classrooms, or digital signage deployments where clean cable management and a professional finish are required. The VE806 model specifically functions as the receiver unit.
Compatibility
This extender is designed to work with HDMI sources and displays. It supports resolutions up to 1080p over 40 meters (131 ft) of CAT5e/6 cable, and 1080i up to 60 meters (197 ft). The VE806 requires a compatible ATEN transmitter unit (such as the VE806T, which is indicated by the 'Function: VE806T' spec) to complete the extension link. It is not compatible with standard HDMI cables for transmission beyond its specified distance limitations.
Installation Notes
The VE806 utilizes a terminal block for power input, requiring a single connection for operation. It is designed for integration within standard wallplate or rack-mount configurations. Operating humidity should be kept between 0-80% RH, non-condensing, to prevent moisture damage. Ensure proper ventilation around the unit to maintain optimal operating temperatures.
