Product Information
Full details
The Aten VE803 HDMI USB Extender is designed for IT professionals and AV integrators who need to bridge the distance between a host source and a remote display or workstation. It excels at delivering high-definition video along with USB 2.0 peripheral support up to 60 meters via Cat 5e cabling, providing a seamless remote control experience. One key caveat to keep in mind is that the device requires two separate Cat 5e cables for operation, which necessitates careful cable management during installation.
