The Black Box ACU2500A-R3 is a video signal extender designed to transmit video signals up to 330 feet (100 meters) over a single Cat5e/6 cable. This device is critical for deployments in large facilities, such as warehouses, manufacturing plants, or expansive office complexes, where standard cable lengths are insufficient. It ensures that video feeds from surveillance cameras or other video sources can reach recording or monitoring stations without signal degradation, maintaining image quality and system integrity over extended distances. The ACU2500A-R3 is specifically engineered to maintain signal fidelity, preventing the common issues of ghosting, color distortion, or signal loss that plague longer cable runs.
This extender is compatible with standard analog CCTV cameras and other video sources that output a composite video signal. It is designed to work with standard Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cabling, allowing for flexible installation using readily available network infrastructure. The ACU2500A-R3 is intended for use with systems where the video source and receiver are separated by distances exceeding typical coaxial cable limitations, making it suitable for retrofitting older analog systems or integrating new analog cameras into distributed surveillance architectures.
Installation requires a single run of Cat5e or Cat6 cable between the transmitter and receiver units. Ensure the cable is properly terminated to T568B standards at both ends. The maximum supported distance is 330 feet (100 meters). Exceeding this distance may result in signal degradation or complete signal loss. No external power supply is required for the ACU2500A-R3 units, as they draw minimal power from the video signal itself, simplifying installation and reducing points of failure.
