Black Box AVU8010A AV Extender Kit
Overview
The Black Box AVU8010A is an AV extender kit designed to transmit standard definition video and audio signals up to 50 meters (164 feet) over a single Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cable. This kit is ideal for extending AV sources to displays in conference rooms, classrooms, or digital signage applications where running long, bulky video cables is impractical. Its smart EDID management ensures that connected displays receive consistent information about supported resolutions and formats, preventing common black screen or resolution mismatch issues.
Compatibility
This extender kit is designed for use with standard analog video sources and audio signals. It is compatible with any display or projector that accepts standard analog video inputs and audio. The EDID management feature allows it to learn and pass EDID information from the display to the source, ensuring optimal resolution compatibility. It is not designed for digital video signals like HDMI or DisplayPort.
Installation Notes
Installation requires running a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable between the transmitter and receiver units. Ensure the cable is terminated correctly to TIA/EIA-568B standards for optimal performance. The units are powered via included power adapters, requiring a nearby outlet for each. Avoid routing the Cat5e/6 cable parallel to high-voltage power lines to minimize interference.
