How to install ATEN DVI Over Cat5 Extender Wall Plate

• Prepare the installation site by selecting two compatible wall boxes (one for the source side and one for the display side) and ensuring power and cable pathways comply with local electrical codes.
• Mount the VE606 wall plates at the source and display locations. Secure the plates in the wall boxes to ensure a solid, flush fit.
• Connect the DVI output from your source device (such as a computer or media player) to the DVI input on the VE606 wall plate at the source location using a standard DVI cable.
• Run a Cat5e or Cat6 cable between the two wall plates, keeping runs clear of interference and avoiding long parallel runs with power lines to minimize noise and signal loss.
• At the display end, connect the DVI input of your monitor or projector to the DVI output on the VE606 wall plate and connect any required audio devices if you’re using audio-enabled DVI paths. Power up the source and display devices and verify signal integrity.
