ATEN VE170 Cat 5 VGA/Audio Extender

When display placement and source placement are not in the same room, cable strategy becomes part of the system design. The ATEN VE170R+VE170T Cat 5 VGA/audio extender gives installers a practical way to carry video and audio over structured cabling, reducing the clutter and distance limits of direct analog runs. This approach is well suited to classrooms, meeting spaces, and AV environments where equipment must stay in a rack or equipment closet while the display sits elsewhere. Wired connectivity keeps the signal path straightforward, and the product’s AV accessory design aligns with professional deployments that value predictable routing and cleaner installs. For organizations that care about uptime, serviceability, and a polished finish, the VE170R+VE170T helps turn a difficult cable run into a manageable infrastructure decision. It is the kind of component that earns its place by making the rest of the system easier to deploy and support.
