FAQ
What is the maximum distance this extender can transmit a 4K signal?
The ATEN VE814A-ATA supports a maximum operating distance of 492.13 feet (150 meters) when using Category 6a twisted-pair Ethernet cable. This extended range allows you to place source equipment far from displays without signal loss, making it suitable for large venues like auditoriums, conference halls, or distributed digital signage networks.
How many displays can I connect to a single source with this extender?
This extender features dual output capability, providing three HDMI outputs on the receiver unit. You can connect up to three displays simultaneously to a single HDMI source, enabling multi-screen setups for presentations, video walls, or mirrored content across different rooms without requiring additional splitters or distribution amplifiers.
What type of cable do I need for installation?
The extender requires standard Category 6a twisted-pair Ethernet cable (Cat6a) to achieve its maximum distance and performance. Cat6a cable supports the high bandwidth needed for 4K video transmission over long runs and is widely available, cost-effective, and easy to terminate, simplifying both new installations and upgrades to existing structured cabling infrastructure.
Is this extender rack-mountable?
