Search Tips...

Keyword Search
Our search engine uses any or all keywords typed in the text box to give you product search results.
For instance, typing in kvm will give you a broader set of results than kvm switch cables.

Note, however, that keywords in quotes are treated as a single phrase and will not be evaluated individually.

Booleans (AND, +, OR, NOT, -) are not supported.

Also, some keywords will not return results, and may automatically correct to a similar keyword.

Part Number Search Selection
Select this Search in the drop down box to search by part number instead of keywords.

Wild Card Search
The * character is only supported in a limited capacity. Using whole words is the best approach whenever possible.

"New Search" Radio Button
Search the entire section that you are currently in.

"Search Within Results" Radio Button
Enter keywords or a part number to limit your results within the previously searched results.

Other features

A list of all matching product categories or resources will appear in the upper left corner of the results page, when applicable, to help you further narrow your results, if you desire.

Use the "sort by" drop-down menu on the results page to sort by "most popular" and price (low to high or high to low)
in the store section.

Component Video Extender Receiver

A remote-end receiver for extending Component video over UTP cable.

AC653A

Extended Double Diamond™ Warranty Available
(Three years for two)

Product Highlights

Works with our AC652A transmitter or AC654A splitter to extend Component (YPbPr) video over CAT5e or CAT6 cable.

Distances up to 1000 feet (304.8 m).

Supports 1080i resolution at 500 feet (152.4 m) and 1080p at 300 feet (91.4 m).

Description

Component Video Extender Receiver

Quick Facts

Works with our AC652A transmitter or AC654A splitter to extend Component (YPbPr) video over CAT5e or CAT6 cable.

Distances up to 1000 feet (304.8 m).

Supports 1080i resolution at 500 feet (152.4 m) and 1080p at 300 feet (91.4 m).

Further Details

Uses ordinary CAT5e or CAT6 cable for video extension, saving you from pulling expensive Component cables through walls and at great distances.

Supports 1080i video resolution at 500 feet and 1080p resolution at 300 feet. (91.4 m).

Wide-bandwidth (450-MHz) differential amplifiers ensure sharp, crisp video.

Protects video signal from interference so there’s no video hum or distortion.

Matches UTP cable impedance to prevent ghosting.

Includes a power supply, which can be plugged in on either the local or remote end.

RoHS compliant.

Extending Component video can be tricky. If you want to avoid long Component cable runs, you can use baluns, but if not chosen carefully and passive in design, they may not give you the crystal-clear image you expect. You might, for instance, get ghosting when trying to transmit high-definition video with passive baluns.

Worse yet, many baluns provide no common mode rejections at lower frequencies, so they’re prone to outside interference, the type that causes annoying video hum and distortion. And along with picking up noise in the transmitting environment, they‘re subject to facility grounding issues.

Avoid such issues by using extenders designed specifically to push Component video signals over longer distances. Order this sophisticated receiver unit from Black Box. Paired with a source-side Component Video Extender Receiver (AC653A) or 8-Port Component Video Splitter (AC654A), it enables you to boost and extend standard or HDTV Component video signals over ordinary CAT5e or CAT6 cable—without any image distortion worries.

The Component Video Extender Receiver features group loop isolation (GLI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) immunity, which prevents video hum and distortion. What’s more, it operates as an active device and matches the impedance of the UTP cable perfectly at all frequencies, so there’s no image ghosting on the display either.

To install, just run a Component cable between the receiver and your display device (LCD TV or projector) and plug in a straight-through UTP or STP cable that leads to the transmitter. On the local side, you then use another Component cable to attach a DVD player, satellite receiver, or another source device to the compatible transmitting device (order separately). Then, lastly, plug in the power adapter. The same adapter powers both the receiver and the transmitter device, and it can be conveniently plugged in at either end.

You can also get the receiver as part of a kit (AC651A) that also includes the transmitter and two Component cables. And for larger applications with screens in different locations, we also offer an 8-Port Component/VGA Video Splitter (AC652A), which has eight UTP (RJ-45) outputs for splitting and extending to eight separate receiver locations from a common source device.
