What it does

How this one is built

Power over cable

Power travels directly over the twisted-pair run to the remote end. That means the display receiver does not need an extra electrical outlet behind the wall mount or up in the ceiling tiles.

Equalization tuning

A built-in equalization switch lets you fine-tune the image quality at the remote monitor. You adjust the signal to match the physical length of your cabling run without extra test equipment.

Transmitter and receiver pair

The kit includes both endpoints ready to connect to your source hardware and screen. They pass surround sound and high-definition video across standard category cabling without needing driver installations or special configuration.

Federal schedule compliance

These units comply with the Federal Trade Agreements Act for government and institutional purchasing. Solid metal housings keep the internal electronics shielded from interference across busy equipment closets and crawlspaces.
