Tripp Lite B132-002A-2 Vga Audio Cat5 Extender

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE B132-002A-2 is a VGA and audio over Cat5 extender designed to transmit video and audio signals from a source device to a remote display over standard Cat5 or Cat5e cabling. This type of extender eliminates the distance limitations of direct VGA connections, making it a practical solution for conference rooms, classrooms, digital signage installations, and AV rack deployments. Installation is typically handled by AV integrators or low-voltage technicians familiar with structured cabling and signal distribution systems.

The B132-002A-2 is suited for commercial and institutional environments where a video source such as a computer or media player needs to drive a display located beyond the reach of a standard VGA cable. It is appropriate for wall-mounted displays, projection systems, and multi-zone AV setups where Cat5 infrastructure is already in place. The unit ships as a single extender package per the supplier unit-of-measure designation.

Key Features

• Extends VGA and audio signals over Cat5 or Cat5e cable
• Reduces reliance on long-run VGA cables, which are prone to signal degradation
• Suited for permanent installation in structured cabling environments
• Compact form factor appropriate for rack, wall, or surface mounting
• Sold as a single unit (EA) for flexible quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or add-on extender for AV signal distribution systems that utilize VGA video and analog audio outputs over Cat5 or Cat5e structured cabling infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician or AV integrator familiar with structured cabling standards. Power down all connected source and display equipment before making or breaking signal connections. Follow TIA-568 cabling standards when terminating Cat5 runs to ensure signal integrity over distance. Do not exceed the rated cable run length for the extender, as exceeding this limit can result in signal loss or image degradation.
