How does a passive extender differ from the active models in the B140 series?

Passive extenders like the B140-101 require no external power and support shorter distances (100 feet) without active signal regeneration, making them simpler and less expensive than active models.

Is the box-style form factor better than wallplate designs for my application?

Box-style extenders are ideal for portable or temporary installations on desks or in equipment racks; wallplate models are better for permanent in-wall mounting.

Can I move this kit between office locations if we reconfigure?

Yes, the box-style passive design makes the B140-101 portable and reusable; simply disconnect the Cat5/Cat6 cable and move the transmitter and receiver to the new location.

What Cat5/Cat6 cable type works best with this passive extender?

Standard Cat5e or Cat6 cabling works with the B140-101; high-quality, properly terminated cables ensure optimal signal quality over the full 100-foot distance.

Is signal quality affected if I exceed 100 feet with this passive kit?

Performance degrades beyond 100 feet with passive technology; if you need longer distances, an active extender like the B140-101X is recommended.

Would this passive kit work in a small office with limited distances?

Yes, for office environments where the source and display are within 100 feet, the passive B140-101 provides a simple, cost-effective, power-free solution.
