OVERVIEW
Looking for an economical way to transmit VGA video,
audio, or RS-232 signals? Consider the CAT5 Multi VGA System.
System components are inexpensive, and they use ordinary
Category 5 cable—which is likely installed at your site already.
The CAT5 Multi VGA System is versatile and ideal for
applications using audio and visual communications.
Use the system for touch screens, signs, classrooms, and more.
With CAT5 cable so dominant, there are a variety of
applications in which you can use this system!
Flexible system configuration.
Other systems limit you to a single topology, and it's
usually the one that limits you from getting really creative.
But with the system's Quad-Hub Transmitters and Dual-
Daisychainable Receivers with Skew Compensation, you can
mix and match different topologies!
For example, you can connect individual receivers to Ports
1, 2, and 3 of a Quad-Hub Transmitter, creating a star topology.
But you can use Port 4 on the transmitter to connect to a
Dual-Daisychainable Receiver with Skew Compensation—
which in turn can connect to other Dual-Daisychainable
Receivers with Skew Compensation until the last connected
unit is a single receiver—to create a daisychain topology.
You'll like the sound of this VGA system!
Sure, video can grab people's attention. But if you want
to make sure your point gets made, opt for the audio version
of the CAT5 Multi VGA System. With it, you can create virtual
signs that enable your audience to hear and see your message.
And that will make things memorable.
The audio version broadcasts video plus line-level mono
audio from your computer to as many as 100 computer
monitors up to 450 feet (137.2 m) away. Just think of the
impact you can create broadcasting to as many monitors
as needed.
Total message control.
The RS-232 version of the CAT5 Multi VGA System enables
you to add serial devices. It's ideal for touch screens used at
marketing kiosks or trade shows. Units can be configured
for two-way serial communication so it can be used for
information gathering and Q&A interaction.
With newer monitors, such as plasma screens, you can
display text messages along with your video to multiple
monitors. You can also display text with video when you
use the RS-232 units with VGA projection systems.

Hi-Def models (AC1045A and AC1046A) support high-
definition video and feature Sony/Philips Digital Interface
(SPDIF) audio for clear signal transfers.
For distances up to 450 feet (137.2 m), select the
AC1047A-R2 and AC1048A-R2 receivers. For greater distances
(up to 1000 feet [304.8 m] or 1500 feet [457.2 m]), choose the
AC1013A and AC1014A receivers. They work with the
AC1000A-R2 (Single) or AC1003A (Quad-Hub) transmitters.
Skew compensation.
Audio (AC1013A, AC1014A) and RS-232 receivers
(AC1015A, AC1016A) are available with 32 nanoseconds of
skew compensation on each of the color lines. This enables
video cable runs of up to 1000 or 1500 feet (304.8 or 457.2 m).
You get full-modem serial control at 19.2 k baud
and video to 1000 feet (304.8 m), or simplex serial control
at 19.2 k baud and video to 1500 feet (457.2 m).
And superior resolution is possible with the skew
compensator models.
Plus our new Twin Video Display Receivers (AC1071A–
AC1072A) provide dual audio and video outputs—perfect for
applications with paired displays. The AC1072A is daisy-
chainable and enables you to address a series of 4 to 24 back-
to-back displays. Maximum source-to-display distance over
CAT5 UTP is 500 feet (152.4 m) for computer video, 750 feet
(228.6 m) for HDTV or Component video, and 1000 feet (304.8
m) for Composite or S-Video.
Multiply your signals.
Use the CAT5 Multi 1 x 9 Video Distribution Amp
(AC1050A) to distribute Composite, Component, and
computer video, along with audio and serial signals, to nine
displays. Plus you can daisychain it to support thousands of
displays. It takes only 1U of rack space.
Use the CAT5 Multi 16 x 16 Matrix Switch (AC1051A)
to switch input signals over CAT5 cable to up to 16 possible
outputs. Fits in 2U of space.
LEDs tell you connection status. Rackmount brackets
are included.
