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.

    CAT5 Video & Mono Audio/Serial Transmit Distribution System Transmitter, 1-Port


    Quick Facts

  • Distribute VGA video and either analog audio or transmit-only serial data to remote screens over CAT5 cable.
  • Supports distances up to 2000 feet (606.9 m), depending on the compatible receiver ordered.
  • Great for many digital signage applications, including corporate campuses, retail, restaurants, churches, conference centers, colleges, and more!

  • Further Details

  • Supports resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 and DDC/EDID communications.
  • All of the system’s receivers except for the AC1001A-R2 can be daisychained (12 receivers total in a chain).
  • No software needed. The system’s units operate independently of your network.
  • Has an HD15 VGA video input but works with any type of analog video.
  • Samples and recreates sync information accurately for optimum video display.
  • Also has VGA output for local video monitoring.
  • Durable steel design.

    Need to send high-resolution VGA video along with either mono summed audio or transmit-only serial data long distances? You’ve found your solution with our CAT5 Video & Mono Audio/Serial Transmit Distribution System.

    The system’s components are inexpensive, and they use ordinary CAT5 cable (but can be used with CAT5e and CAT6 cables, too) while maintaining the highest video quality even at longer distances.

    In addition to video, the system supports L/R summed audio transmission. Or you can configure the transmitter in the field for simplex (one-way) serial transmit-only distribution communications.

    Plus, the CAT5 Video & Mono Audio/Serial Transmit Distribution System supports easy, external configuration of DC restoration and AC coupling as well as DDC/EDID modes, particularly when integrating sources running Windows Vista®.

    The transmitter featured here has a single RJ-45 distribution port. It connects to a single receiver over CAT5 or higher cable, and all receivers except for the AC1001A-R2 can be daisychained (for up to 12 receivers total*). We also offer a version with four RJ-45 ports (AC1003A-R2), which suits point-to-multipoint configurations (this multi-port transmitter can be connected to four receivers which, in turn, can be used for four daisychains of up to 12 receivers each, for a total of 48 receivers*).

    What’s more, both transmitter versions have a local VGA output, which you can use for either local monitoring or cascading to any another CAT5 Video & Mono Audio/Serial Transmit Distribution System Transmitter for additional outputs.

    And even though the transmitters have an HD15 VGA video input, they can be used to receive input from any type of analog video—no reconfiguration of the transmitter itself is necessary! Just add optional VGA to RGB Converters or adapter cables for S-Video, Component, or Composite video on both transmit and receive sides.

    Pair your transmitter with the receiver that supports your distance requirements. All of the system’s receivers except the VGA/audio-only AC1001A-R2 receiver support unidirectional broadcast-only serial data.

    Also available: kits for mounting three units in 1U of rack space, as well as a 1 x 9 distribution amp, and a full-matrix 16 x 16 UTP switch.

    If you need to send pollable serial data instead of transmit-only serial signals, see our CAT5 Video, Stereo Audio, & Pollable Data Distribution System components (AC1220A–AC1224A). Along with VGA video, they distribute stereo audio to remotely connected speakers and addressable serial data for independent control of one or more connected displays. They’re ideal for controlling digital signage remotely.

    NOTE: Not designed for Ethernet network operation.

    * Although the system supports 12 receivers in each daisychain, we recommend using a maximum of four receivers in a daisychain configuration.
