Manufacturer description

Tripp Lite's B132-004A-2 allows you to split a single VGA and Audio signal into 5 (1 local, 4 remote). Increase the number of displays to up to 25 (1 local, 24 remote) by daisy-chaining up to six B132-004A-2 units together. Along with a B132-100A or B132-100A-WP-1 remote receiver unit, you can extend a 1920 x 1440 (60Hz) signal up to 500 ft., or a 1024 x 768 (60Hz) signal up to 1,000 ft., when using 24Awg, Solid Wire Cat5e/6 cable, such as Tripp Lite's N022-01K-GY (Cat5) and N222-01K-GY (Cat6).The range and number of monitors can be further expanded by adding B132-110A repeater units…
