Description
The CatX AV Rx2 receiver outputs two audio and VGA signals to any VGA display device at distances of up to 150m. The maximum resolution of this CatX cat5 receiver is 2048 x 1536 – see Resolution / Distance.
The CatX AV Rx2 provides a sharp high quality video up to 150m, using low cost cat5 cabling.
Each CatX AV Rx2 has a UTP output that allows it to daisy chain to another CatX AV Rx2 receiver. Multiple receivers can connect in this way to achieve distances up to 1000m. These units can also be daisy chained with CatXQ AV Rx2, achieving much longer distances of up to 2000m in a chain.
An external power supply is required for the CatX AV Rx2, consuming less than 0.25W per output.
