Four-Port VGA Repeater for Multi-Display Runs
The Black Box AC555A-4-R2 distributes a single VGA source to four remote displays over Category 6 twisted-pair cable. It supports XGA graphics modes at 1024 x 768 resolution and reaches 500 ft per output. The unit is built for control rooms, digital signage and classroom installations where one computer must drive several monitors.
XGA Resolution Across Four Outputs
Each of the four RJ-45 ports carries a 1024 x 768 signal without scaling, so every connected display receives the same native XGA image. The extender handles standard business graphics and presentation content comfortably. It runs out of headroom above XGA; higher resolutions or widescreen formats are not supported by this model.
Fanless Operation With Low Power Draw
The transmitter measures .60 in high, 3.30 in wide and 2.30 in deep, weighing 6.40 oz. With no moving parts it runs silently in rack or desktop mounts. Power consumption stays low enough for standard AC adapters, and the metal chassis dissipates heat passively during continuous operation.

Questions about this item
Will this unit drive my existing XGA monitors at 1024 x 768 over 500 ft of Category 6 cable?
Yes, the repeater supports XGA graphics modes up to 1024 x 768 resolution over a maximum operating distance of 500 ft using Category 6 twisted pair cabling.
How can I confirm the repeater is transmitting a clean signal to all four outputs after installation?
Verify that each connected display shows a stable 1024 x 768 image without flicker or artifacts, indicating the VGA signal is being distributed correctly across all four RJ-45 ports.
Does the package include the Category 6 cables needed for the four RJ-45 ports, or must they be purchased separately?
The unit provides one VGA input, one VGA output, and four RJ-45 ports; twisted pair Category 6 cables for the network connections are not included and must be sourced separately.
