The Black Box AC556A-R2 is a VGA and audio extender kit designed to transmit video and audio signals over a single CAT5e/6 cable. This setup is ideal for digital signage, presentation rooms, or security monitoring stations where you need to display content from a single source on multiple remote screens, or from multiple sources to local displays, without signal degradation. The AC556A-R2 model provides 2 local ports for direct monitoring and 2 remote ports for extended displays, allowing for flexible deployment scenarios. It supports resolutions up to 1920x1200 at 60Hz, ensuring crisp visuals for critical applications. The integrated audio transmission simplifies setup by eliminating the need for separate audio cabling.
This VGA extender kit is compatible with any computer or video source outputting a standard VGA signal and stereo audio. It functions with standard CAT5e or CAT6 UTP cabling up to 1000 feet (305 meters). The local unit connects directly to the source device, while the remote unit connects to displays. It is designed for use with standard PCs, servers, and media players that utilize VGA output. For optimal performance, use solid-conductor CAT5e/6 cable.
For optimal signal integrity and maximum transmission distance, use solid-conductor CAT5e or CAT6 UTP cabling. Ensure the cable run is not subject to excessive electromagnetic interference. The maximum resolution supported is 1920x1200 @ 60Hz. If using resolutions lower than the maximum, the signal will still be transmitted reliably up to the specified distance. The kit includes both a local and a remote unit, requiring a single CAT5e/6 cable to link them. Power adapters are included for both units, as they require external power to boost the signal over the extended distance.
