Description

Black Box AVU5020A USB Multimedia Extender

Overview

The Black Box AVU5020A USB Multimedia Extender is designed to transmit ultra-sharp, high-resolution video up to 1920 x 1200 over a single Cat5e/6 cable. This extender is crucial for scenarios where you need to place a display or workstation remotely from the source computer, such as in digital signage deployments, remote control rooms, or extending KVM functionality for video-intensive applications. It ensures that video quality remains pristine even at extended distances, preserving critical detail for surveillance monitoring or high-fidelity content playback.

Compatibility

This extender is part of a two-part system. It requires a companion extender unit (sold separately) to complete the connection. The AVU5020A is designed for use with standard Cat5e or Cat6 cabling, ensuring broad compatibility with existing network infrastructure. It is intended for use with computers and displays supporting resolutions up to 1920 x 1200.

Installation Notes

Utilizes standard Cat5e or Cat6 cabling for transmission. Ensure cable runs do not exceed the maximum specified distance for optimal performance. The system requires two extender units: one at the source (transmitting) and one at the display (receiving).
