ATEN VE801R HDMI HDBaseT Lite Extender Receiver

Overview

The ATEN VE801R is a compact HDBaseT Lite receiver designed to extend HDMI signals up to 230 feet (70 meters) over a single Cat 5e or Cat 6 cable. This device is ideal for scenarios where you need to place a display or projector at a distance from the HDMI source, such as in digital signage, conference rooms, or digital video distribution systems. Its small form factor allows for discreet installation behind displays or within tight AV racks. The VE801R works in conjunction with a compatible HDBaseT Lite transmitter (sold separately) to create a point-to-point HDMI extension solution.

Compatibility

This receiver is specifically designed to work with ATEN's VE801T HDBaseT Lite Transmitter. It supports standard HDMI connections and requires a Cat 5e or Cat 6 Ethernet cable for signal transmission. For optimal performance and signal integrity, use a cable rated for the maximum supported distance of 230 feet (70 meters).
