VGA Audio Repeater Kit for Digital Signage
The Black Box AC556A-R2 extends one VGA source with stereo audio to four remote displays over standard twisted-pair cable. It targets installers who need reliable video distribution in retail exhibits, trade-show booths, or airport signage. The kit includes local and remote units plus all necessary cables and power supplies for immediate deployment.
CAT5 CAT6 Connectivity with Dual RJ45 Ports
Each unit provides two RJ45 ports that accept solid-conductor CAT5, CAT5e, or CAT6 cable for runs up to 500 ft. The local unit takes a single VGA input and the remote unit delivers four VGA outputs, simplifying cabling in ceiling or conduit installations. Rubber feet and 1.8 m cables allow flexible desktop or rack placement without additional hardware.
1024 x 768 XGA Resolution Limit
Maximum supported resolution is 1024 x 768 at XGA graphics modes, so the extender suits legacy PC sources and basic signage content but not high-definition or widescreen formats. Buyers requiring 720p, 1080p, or higher pixel counts must select a different extender class.

Questions about this item
Does the Cat5/5e/6 twisted-pair link cap the video at 1024 x 768?
Yes, the extender transmits VGA and audio over Cat5/5e/6 cable with a maximum resolution of 1024 x 768 at XGA graphics modes.
What rack or surface mounting hardware is included for the local and remote units?
Four rubber feet are supplied for desktop placement; no rack ears or wall brackets are in the box.
How are the local and remote units powered, and which cable is often missed during setup?
Each unit uses its own 6-ft power cord and supply; the 6-ft male-to-male audio cable linking the source to the local unit is the step most installers forget.
