ATEN A/V Over Cat5 Receiver with Cascade

Discover the power of reliable, high-quality audio/video distribution with the VE172R A/V Over Cat5 Receiver. Engineered to work seamlessly within ATEN’s MDS Standard Plus Solution, this receiver unlocks flexible, long-distance AV transmission across your facility. Designed to complement transmitters such as VS1204T/VS1208T and VE170T/VE170R/VE170RQ, it delivers stable signal delivery through standard Cat5/6 cabling, transforming complex AV setups into simple, scalable installations. Aimed at professional environments—from corporate conference rooms to educational campuses—the VE172R combines practical installation with robust performance, all while meeting Trade Agreements Act (TAA) compliance for government and regulated procurement needs.

  • Long-distance A/V transmission over Cat5/6: Capable of carrying high-quality audio and video signals over standard Cat5/6 cables, minimizing the need for multiple dedicated AV cables and reducing clutter in your space.
  • Cascade up to 10 levels: Build expansive AV networks by cascading up to ten VE172R receivers, enabling multi-room or multi-zone displays without sacrificing signal integrity or ease of management.
  • Direct compatibility with ATEN MDS Standard Plus Solution: Seamlessly pairs with ATEN’s VS1204T/VS1208T transmitters and VE170T/VE170R/VE170RQ endpoints, delivering a cohesive ecosystem for reliable AV distribution.
  • TAA compliant for procurement flexibility: Meets Trade Agreements Act requirements, making it suitable for government, education, and enterprise deployments that demand compliant hardware.
  • Simple, scalable, and reliable installation: Lightweight design with clear status indicators and straightforward wiring makes setup fast and maintenance straightforward, even in larger installations.

how to install ATEN A/V Over Cat5 Receiver with Cascade

Installations begin from selecting the right ATEN MDS Standard Plus configuration. Connect the VE172R to the transmitter network by plugging a Cat5/6 cable into the designated output on the transmitter and into the VE172R’s input. Route additional Cat5/6 cables to each cascaded VE172R receiver if you are extending to multiple displays or rooms. Ensure all units share a common power supply, with each VE172R powered by its 5V adapter. Verify signal integrity by observing the LED indicators on each receiver; a steady power and link LED typically indicates a healthy connection. If cascading, repeat the same cabling approach from the preceding VE172R to the next; maintain cable quality and avoid sharp bends to protect signal integrity. After cabling, connect your local display or AV monitor to the VE172R’s local outputs via the appropriate video/audio interface provided by your ATEN setup, and test each zone independently before finalizing the installation. For larger venues, plan your cascade topology to balance distance and number of display nodes while staying within the 150m transmission limit per link. Finally, configure any required resolution, aspect ratio, or audio parameters through your source and display devices to achieve the best picture and sound quality across the entire installation.

Frequently asked questions

  • What is VE172R used for? The VE172R is a receive endpoint for ATEN A/V over Cat5 systems. It works with ATEN MDS Standard Plus transmitters to deliver synchronized audio and video signals over Cat5/6 cables, enabling extended reach and multi-display setups.
  • How far can it transmit? The VE172R supports transmissions up to 150 meters on Cat5/6 cabling when used within the ATEN MDS Standard Plus framework, making it suitable for medium to large rooms and campuses.
  • Can I cascade multiple receivers? Yes. The VE172R supports cascading up to 10 levels, allowing you to extend AV distribution to numerous displays across a campus, office building, or large conference facility without additional complex infrastructure.
  • Is the VE172R compatible with other ATEN devices? It is designed to work in tandem with ATEN MDS Standard Plus components, including transmitters like VS1204T/VS1208T and other VE170 series endpoints (VE170T/VE170R/VE170RQ), for a coherent AV distribution solution.
  • Is the VE172R compliant with procurement standards? Yes, it is TAA compliant, which supports procurement processes that require compliance with government and regulated procurement guidelines.
  • What kind of power does it use? The VE172R uses a standard 5V DC power supply. Ensure each receiver in your cascade is properly powered to maintain stable performance across all connected displays.
  • Will this work with non-ATEN devices? The VE172R is designed to integrate within ATEN’s MDS Standard Plus ecosystem. For best results, use ATEN transmitters and VE170/VE172 endpoints that are part of the same system family.
