The Black Box ACU5250A-R2 is a VGA extender designed to transmit video signals over extended distances, specifically up to 1000 feet (305 meters) using standard Cat5e or Cat6 cabling. This device is critical for deployments where a display needs to be located significantly farther from the video source than standard VGA cables permit, such as in large conference rooms, auditoriums, or digital signage installations. It ensures a clean video feed without signal degradation over long runs, maintaining image quality for critical presentations and information displays.
This extender is compatible with any standard VGA video source and display. It functions by converting the VGA signal to a format transmittable over twisted-pair Ethernet cable, making it universally applicable with PCs, laptops, projectors, and monitors that utilize VGA connectors. The ACU5250A-R2 is designed to work with standard Cat5e and Cat6 network cables, offering flexibility in installation using readily available infrastructure.
Installation requires one Cat5e or Cat6 cable to connect the transmitter and receiver units. The maximum transmission distance of 1000 feet is achievable with high-quality, solid-conductor Cat5e or Cat6 cable. Ensure proper termination of the Ethernet cable to maintain signal integrity. The unit is powered via an external power adapter (included), which must be connected to the transmitter unit.
