ATEN Extender audio/video DVI su Cat5e/6 (60 m)

The ATEN VE600A AV transmitter and receiver extends DVI video and stereo audio signals up to 60 m over Cat 5e cables, allowing a DVI display to be placed remotely from the source. The unit transmits A/V over a single Cat 5e cable; if the real EDID handshake is required, a second Cat 5e cable can be used. The VE600A supports popular widescreen formats and maximum resolution up to 1920 x 1200, and includes a local transmitter unit, a remote receiver unit, power adapters and a mounting kit.

Advantages

The VE600A provides a simple and reliable extension method using standard Cat 5e cabling common in office buildings. It delivers both DVI-D video and stereo audio with minimal power consumption and a compact receiver size. The device supports single-cable A/V transmission for ease of installation and an optional second cable for full EDID pass-through when needed.

Suitable for

• Extending a DVI-D computer or media player to a remote monitor or projector
• Digital signage and information displays in offices, retail or public spaces
• Conference rooms and meeting spaces requiring remote screens

How to use

Connect the local unit to the DVI source using the DVI-D connector and connect the remote unit to the display with its DVI-D output. Use a Cat 5e cable between the local and remote units to carry video and stereo audio; if EDID information from the display must be passed back to the source, connect a second Cat 5e cable. Plug in the supplied power adapters for both units, mount the units if required, then power on the source and display. Verify resolution and audio settings on the source to match the target display up to 1920 x 1200.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, use good-quality Cat5e or Cat6 cables and avoid running them alongside high-power electrical lines. If the display requires specific EDID data (for example custom resolutions or color profiles), connect the second Cat5e cable to enable EDID pass-through.
