Video graphics signals are amplified and cable-matched through video line drivers. One output is for local connections only and six outputs may be either local or matched to a specific cable type with internally link-adjustable cable length compensation for long remote connections.

Adjustable signal compensation is provided for 0-150 metres (in ten steps) of special multicore cable.

Any of the six compensated outputs may be converted to monochrome using an internal link selection.

The unit is housed in a flame-retardant plastic case requiring an external 12v regulated power supply, available from C.A. Designs (order 1 x MP1*).

The product uses 15-pin HDD female socket connectors (please refer to the associated datasheet for further details) and will connect to standard VGA / XGA ports using a 15-pin high density 'D' male to male lead.

For cables longer than 2 metres, cable type greatly affects picture quality.

For lengths up to 30 metres use a high quality (low capacitance) video cable.

For lengths from 30 up to 150 metres these distribution amplifiers have in-built cable-loss compensation for a specific cable type (Belden 9730). This cable must be made up using exact connection details as specified in the VA2X-150 datasheet.

Suitable cables of this specification are available pre-manufactured from C.A. Designs (order LD5*).

Other low-loss cable types may be used but the compensation provided by these products may not be accurate.
