ATEN DVI Dual Link Extender with Audio-TAA Compliant

The ATEN VE602 DVI Dual Link Extender with Audio is a purpose-built solution for time-critical, distance-spanning display setups in modern office environments. Engineered to preserve the full fidelity of your DVI-D Dual Link signal, this extender lets you place a monitor up to 60 meters away from the source while maintaining sharp image clarity, accurate color, and rich, embedded audio. Ideal for conference rooms, control rooms, classrooms, digital signage, and IT closets, the VE602 is designed to withstand the rigors of busy enterprise spaces, offering reliable performance over standard Cat5e cables already present in most buildings. This model is TAA compliant, aligning with procurement requirements for government and other regulated environments, and features a compact, two-piece design that simplifies installation and cable management without sacrificing reliability or scalability.

With the VE602, you don’t just extend a display—you extend the entire viewing and audio experience. The system transmits high-quality DVI-D Dual Link video and two-channel stereo audio across two Cat5e (or Cat6) cables, enabling you to place displays in rooms or locations that were previously inaccessible due to distance. Its EDID management and plug-and-play nature reduce setup time, minimizing downtime and IT overhead. The VE602 is engineered to deliver a robust, enterprise-ready solution that blends seamless performance with easy integration into existing AV and IT infrastructures. Whether you’re deploying multiple displays in a security center, streaming live data to a remote control room, or extending a workstation to a distant display, the VE602 delivers dependable, long-range performance with minimal fuss.

• Long-distance DVI-D Dual Link video up to 60 meters using standard Cat5e or Cat6 cables, enabling flexible installation across conference rooms, theaters, and networked workspaces without sacrificing pixel-for-pixel quality or color integrity.
• Integrated two-channel stereo audio passthrough so your audio signal travels alongside your video, delivering synchronized sound to the remote display for a complete multimedia experience without additional wire runs or equipment.
• Dual-unit transmit/receive design that isolates source and display connections, minimizing interference and providing a stable, shielded path for both video and audio signals over long distances.
• Plug-and-play EDID management ensures that the remote display receives the correct timing and resolution, reducing compatibility issues and the need for manual configuration when switching sources or monitors.
• TAA compliant for enterprise procurement and government use, combining reliable hardware with compliance to industry standards, helping you meet organizational purchasing requirements while enjoying enterprise-grade performance.

How to Install ATEN VE602

• Position the transmitter near the DVI source (computer or media player) and the receiver near the display. Ensure both units have clear ventilation and ample space for cable routing.
• Connect the DVI source to the transmitter’s DVI input using a standard DVI-D cable and attach the transmitter’s audio input (if required) to the source’s audio output with the appropriate 3.5 mm audio cable.
• Run two Cat5e or Cat6 cables from the transmitter to the receiver, ensuring the cables are untangled and securely terminated in the correct RJ-45 ports on each end.
• Connect the receiver to the display using a DVI-D cable from the receiver’s DVI output to the monitor’s DVI input. Attach the remote display’s audio input if you are routing audio alongside the video.
• Plug in the external power adapters for both transmitter and receiver, and power on the source and display. Allow EDID to establish; the system should automatically negotiate the appropriate resolution and refresh rate.
• Verify that the display shows the expected desktop or content and that audio is audible from the remote display. If necessary, adjust the source resolution to match the display’s native capabilities for optimal clarity.
• Organize cables for safety and aesthetic appeal, securing them with ties or cable management accessories. Confirm there is adequate clearance for airflow around both units.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What distance can the VE602 extend a DVI-D Dual Link signal?
  A: The VE602 extends up to 60 meters (about 196 feet) over Cat5e or Cat6 cables, allowing flexible placement of displays far from the source.
• Q: Does the VE602 transmit audio as well as video?
  A: Yes. The VE602 includes two-channel stereo audio passthrough, so you can send audio to the remote display alongside the video signal.
