SKU CH-TGYN-TM2ND MPN AC555A-REM-R2

A VGA receiver that sends XGA video up to 500 ft over Category 5 cable to two displays

  • Extends VGA signals up to 500 ft over Cat5
  • Dual 1024 x 768 outputs from a single receiver
  • Single RJ-45 input simplifies cabling
  • Compact 3.30 x 2.30 x .60 in form factor
  • WEEE and RoHS certified for environmental compliance

Two-port VGA distribution

The Black Box AC555A-REM-R2 receives a single video signal over Category 5 twisted-pair cable and drives two VGA displays simultaneously. It supports XGA graphics modes at a maximum resolution of 1024 x 768 across distances up to 500 ft. The unit is suited for classrooms, digital signage or control rooms that need identical content on two screens from one remote source.

Integration with existing cabling

A single RJ-45 input accepts the twisted-pair link from a compatible transmitter, eliminating the need for long VGA runs. Two VGA outputs connect directly to local monitors or projectors, freeing the installer from running separate video cables to each display location. The compact receiver measures .60 in height, 3.30 in width and 2.30 in depth, fitting easily on a desk, shelf or behind a display.

Passive thermal profile

With no active cooling, the receiver operates silently and draws minimal power from the connected link. The lightweight 6.40 oz chassis produces no audible noise, making it suitable for quiet environments such as libraries or meeting spaces. Environmental certifications include WEEE and RoHS compliance.
