Description

The ATEN VE170 VGA/Audio Cat 5 AV Extender Kit delivers reliable long-distance AV signal extension over a single Cat 5e cable, making it ideal for digital signage, classrooms, boardrooms, and large-venue installations. This complete transmitter and receiver kit (VE170T + VE170R) supports resolutions up to 1920x1200 at close range and maintains 1024x768 at distances up to 300 m (1000 ft), with adjustable gain control to fine-tune signal strength at the receiver end. Built-in ESD protection (8KV/15KV) and a rugged metal housing ensure dependable, long-term operation in professional environments.

The VE170 supports one local and one remote VGA display simultaneously, allowing the source to feed both the transmitter-side monitor and the remote screen without additional splitters. Mono audio is carried over the same Cat 5e run, eliminating the need for separate audio cabling. Plug-and-play installation requires no software or drivers, and the units are compatible with ATEN VS1204T/VS1208T A/V Over Cat 5 Splitters for scalable multi-zone deployments. Note: this kit includes the standard VE170R receiver without Deskew correction. Available now at iptrading.com.au — competitive prices and local support.

FAQs

Q: What is included in the ATEN VE170-AT-U kit?
A: The VE170-AT-U includes one VE170T transmitter and one VE170R receiver. This is the standard kit with the VE170R receiver that does not include Deskew correction. A separate Deskew-capable receiver variant is available if colour convergence correction is needed over very long cable runs.

Q: What maximum resolution and distance does the VE170 support?
A: The VE170 supports up to 1920x1200 @ 60Hz at distances up to 30 m, 1600x1200 @ 60Hz up to 150 m, and 1024x768 @ 60Hz at the maximum distance of 300 m (1000 ft) over a single Cat 5e cable.

Q: Does the VE170 support audio extension?
A: Yes, the VE170 supports mono audio transmission over the same Cat 5e cable used for the VGA video signal, eliminating the need for a separate audio run.

Q: Can the VE170 drive two displays at once?
A: Yes. The transmitter supports both a local VGA display and passes the signal to the remote receiver simultaneously, so one source can feed two screens without an additional splitter.

Q: Is the VE170 compatible with other ATEN AV distribution equipment?
A: Yes. The VE170 is compatible with ATEN VS1204T and VS1208T A/V Over Cat 5 Splitters, enabling scalable multi-zone deployments where a single VGA source feeds multiple remote displays across a building.

Q: Can I purchase the ATEN VE170-AT-U in Australia through IP Trading?
A: Yes. IP Trading (iptrading.com.au) is an Australian B2B IT hardware reseller stocking the ATEN VE170-AT-U with competitive pricing and local support. Contact us for volume pricing, availability, or compatibility advice.
