ATEN VS162 Monitor/audio Switch
Overview
The ATEN VS162 is a 2-port audio switch designed for rack-mounted installations, facilitating the distribution of audio signals between a single source and two destinations. This device is particularly useful in professional audio-visual setups where managing multiple audio outputs from a single source is required, ensuring signal integrity. The VS162 model supports a maximum transmission distance of 1.8 meters, suitable for in-rack or short-run cable management. Its 100 Ω impedance is standard for audio applications, preventing signal reflections and ensuring clear sound reproduction. This unit requires external power via a DC jack, though the power adapter is not included.
Compatibility
The VS162 is designed for use with systems requiring audio signal switching. Its mini stereo jack outputs are compatible with standard audio equipment featuring 3.5mm audio inputs. The rack-mount form factor makes it suitable for integration into standard 19-inch server racks alongside other AV or IT equipment. It is intended for use with sources that provide a line-level stereo audio signal.
Installation Notes
The device is designed for rack mounting, fitting into standard 19-inch rack enclosures. It operates within a humidity range of 0-80% RH (non-condensing). The unit requires a separate DC power adapter (not included) to function. Connections are made via the two mini stereo jack female outputs and a DC power jack. The maximum cable length supported is 1.8 meters to maintain optimal signal quality.
