Black Box AC555A-REM-R2 VGA Transmitter
Overview
The Black Box AC555A-REM-R2 is a VGA transmitter designed to extend video signals over long distances, typically up to 1000 feet (300 meters) using standard Cat5e or Cat6 cabling. This device is crucial for deployments where a video source needs to be displayed on a remote monitor or projector, such as in digital signage, command centers, or presentation rooms. It ensures a clear video feed is delivered without signal degradation over extended cable runs.
Compatibility
This transmitter is designed to work with a compatible receiver unit (sold separately) to form a complete VGA extension system. It is compatible with standard VGA video sources and monitors. For optimal performance and range, it is recommended to use this transmitter with the corresponding Black Box receiver unit designed for the AC555A-REM-R2 system.
Installation Notes
Installation requires running standard Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cable between the transmitter and its paired receiver unit. Ensure the Ethernet cable is terminated correctly and is free from kinks or damage to maintain signal integrity. The transmitter connects to the video source via a standard VGA connector, and the receiver connects to the display via VGA. Power is supplied to the receiver unit, which then powers the transmitter via the Ethernet cable (PoE). Ensure the receiver unit is connected to a suitable power source.
