Vanco PAEXARC1 Arc Audio Extender Cat Cable

Product Description

The VANCO PAEXARC1 is an ARC (Audio Return Channel) audio extender designed to transmit audio signals over a single CAT-style cable between an HDMI-enabled display and an AV receiver or soundbar. It isolates and extends the ARC signal path without requiring a full HDMI cable run to carry return audio, simplifying installations where audio and video routing are handled separately. Licensed AV integrators and low-voltage technicians install this unit in residential and commercial setups where rack-mounted AV equipment is located at a distance from the display.

The PAEXARC1 is suited for home theater installations, conference rooms, and digital signage environments where a display must send audio back to a receiver or amplifier over an extended distance. It connects into existing CAT infrastructure, making it practical for retrofits and new construction alike. Installers working with distributed audio systems will find it useful when the display location and the AV head-end are separated by a structured cabling run.

Key Features

• Extends ARC audio signals over a single CAT cable without a full HDMI run
• Simplifies wiring in installations where audio return must travel separately from video
• Designed for use with HDMI ARC-capable displays, receivers, and soundbars
• Sold as a single unit (each) for flexible quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solution for HDMI ARC audio extension applications in residential and commercial AV installations utilizing CAT-based structured cabling infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician familiar with HDMI ARC signal routing and structured cabling standards. Power down all connected AV equipment before connecting or disconnecting the extender. Verify that all source devices and displays have ARC enabled in their HDMI settings prior to commissioning. Cable runs should comply with applicable low-voltage wiring codes and manufacturer guidelines for CAT cable performance.
