How can the VS1204T distribute to displays over very long distances?

The VS1204T uses Cat 5 cable instead of traditional VGA cables, allowing signal transmission over 300 metres when paired with compatible Aten Cat 5 receivers. This is ideal for campuses, warehouses, and multi-floor installations.

What is the advantage of using Cat 5 for video distribution?

Cat 5 cable is cheaper, more flexible, and easier to install in buildings than thick VGA cables. Its use in existing network infrastructure means you can reuse existing conduit and cabling paths for video signals.

Can I route one video source to multiple different locations simultaneously?

Yes, the VS1204T splits one VGA and audio source to four receivers, which can be placed in four separate rooms or zones. This is perfect for broadcast or multi-display digital signage networks.

What types of facilities benefit from Cat 5 video distribution?

Educational campuses, corporate networks with multiple conference rooms, retail chains managing digital signage, and healthcare systems needing synchronized displays all gain from the flexibility and cost savings of Cat 5 distribution.

Do I need to upgrade my existing Cat 5 infrastructure?

Standard Cat 5 and Cat 5e cable works with the VS1204T system. If your facility already has Cat 5 cabling installed, you can leverage it immediately without expensive upgrades.

How does the VS1204T reduce installation time compared to traditional VGA runs?

Because Cat 5 is thinner and more flexible than VGA cables, it routes more easily through existing ducts and walls. Combined with four-pair distribution, large multi-room setups are faster to deploy and modify.

What is the lead time for the VS1204T and compatible receivers?

Contact Procure.ae for current lead times on the VS1204T and required receiver modules across the UAE and GCC.

Can Procure.ae coordinate installation of a multi-room Cat 5 video system?

Discuss your multi-display project with the Procure.ae team during the quote stage to explore installation support options.

What does the VS1204T require to operate properly?

The splitter accepts one VGA/audio input and outputs to four Cat 5 ports. To complete the system, you need compatible Aten Cat 5 receivers at each display location.

What accessories are needed to deploy the VS1204T?

Beyond the splitter, you need Cat 5 or Cat 5e cable and four Aten VE-series receivers to extend signals to remote displays. Contact Procure.ae for recommended receiver models and cable lengths.

What is the warranty on the Aten VS1204T?

The VS1204T comes with Aten's standard manufacturer warranty. Request warranty details and coverage information from Procure.ae.

FAQ

Do I need separate receiver units for each display?
Yes, each of the four Cat 5 outputs requires a compatible Aten receiver unit (such as the VE170R, VE170RQ, or VE172R) to convert the Cat 5 signal back to VGA at the display end.

What is the maximum distance the VS1204T system can cover?
When used with compatible Aten Cat 5 receivers, each output can reach up to 300 metres from the VS1204T splitter.
