Description

Black Box ACU1700A KVM Extender

Overview

The Black Box ACU1700A is a KVM extender designed to transmit high-resolution 4K video at 60Hz with 4:2:0 8-bit color depth over a single CATx cable. This device is critical for extending video signals from a source device to a remote display or control station without signal degradation, making it suitable for environments where the source hardware must be located away from the user interface, such as security control rooms or digital signage applications.

Compatibility

This extender is designed to work with KVM extenders that support the transmission of 4K video at 60Hz (4:2:0 8-bit). It is intended for use with specific Black Box KVM extender systems that require high-bandwidth video transmission over CATx infrastructure. Consult the documentation for your specific Black Box KVM extender model to confirm compatibility with the ACU1700A.

Installation Notes

Requires a single CAT5e, CAT6, or CAT6a cable for signal transmission. Ensure the cable run adheres to maximum supported lengths for 4K 60Hz signals to maintain video integrity. The ACU1700A is typically part of a transmitter/receiver pair, and both units require appropriate power. The color is black.
