Black Box AC504A-WP, Mini-Cat5 Extender Wallplate Transmitter

Model AC504A-WP

2.3 Configuration for Composite Video and Stereo Audio

The AC504A-WP can be used to transmit Composite Video and Stereo Audio instead of VGA or YPbPr to the receiver. However since the Video signals are terminated differently than audio, you need to cut or remove two jumpers on the rear of the unit.

For normal operation (VGA or YPbPr), J1 and J2 on the rear of the unit, are installed. For transmitting composite video and audio, you need to remove or cut these jumpers.

An HD15 to 3 RCA cable will be required. The composite video is sent on the green (pin 2), and the light and left audio channels are sent on the Red (pin 1), and Blue (pin 3). Note that some cables may have Yellow (video), Red (right audio), and White (left audio) RCA connectors instead of RGB connectors.

NOTES

If the length of Cat5 Cable is longer than 300 feet you may need to attach a power supply to the receiver unit. Generally if the remote display device is referenced to ground (i.e. the VGA connector ground or case, is connected to power line ground) you should not need an additional power supply to the specified maximum length of 500 feet

Do not connect this unit to any LAN device such as network cards or hubs as this may damage the AC155A and/or the LAN device. Use EIA/TIA 568B standard straight-through patch wiring. Do not use crossover cables.
