Description
The VE901 HDBaseT-Lite DisplayPort Extender is a compact transmitter/receiver solution designed to extend DisplayPort video over a single Cat 6 or Cat 6a cable. It enables remote placement of displays up to 70 m when using Cat 6a, supporting professional AV installations that require secure, long-reach signal distribution. The product emphasizes signal integrity and installation flexibility for environments where interference resistance and reliability are essential.
Key features include HDBaseT-Lite connectivity for long-distance DisplayPort extension, HDBaseT anti-jamming for improved interference resistance, and support for high-resolution video including 4K at 30Hz. The unit provides a 3.3V/500mA auxiliary power output for low-power accessories and is designed to be rack-mountable while offering a slip-resistant locking DC jack. The combination of DisplayPort compliance and HDCP compatibility ensures compatibility with compliant sources and displays.
Performance specifications include a maximum data rate of 10.2 Gbps (3.4 Gbps per lane) and a maximum pixel clock of 340 MHz. The extender supports up to 4K@35 m over Cat 5e/6 and up to 40 m over Cat 6a, and it supports 1080p@60 up to 60 m over Cat 5e/6 and up to 70 m over Cat 6a. 4K formats supported include 4096 x 2160 and 3840 x 2160 at 30Hz in 4:4:4 color, with HDCP compatibility retained across the link.
Connectivity includes DisplayPort female connectors on both transmitter and receiver units and a locking DC jack on each unit for secure power connections. Power consumption is DC 5V, 7.95W for the receiver and DC 5V, 3.13W for the transmitter, and the device offers metal housing for durable mounting and thermal performance. The extender is compatible with standard DisplayPort sources and sinks and functions transparently with DisplayPort features such as deep color when supported by endpoints.
Typical use cases include medical and military AV installations where signal interference protection is required, digital signage and broadcast signage where long cable runs are needed, and conference or lecture environments that require centralized source placement with remote displays. The anti-jamming HDBaseT features and auxiliary power output make it suitable for installations that combine signal extension with low-power accessory support. The compact form factor and rack-mountable design support deployment in equipment racks or distributed AV enclosures.
Installation is straightforward with a single Cat 6/6a cable between transmitter and receiver and a locking DC power connector to prevent accidental disconnection. The metal housing and compact dimensions provide a robust physical profile while keeping the unit lightweight for diverse mounting locations. Operating and storage tolerances support typical AV room and equipment-rack environments, and the product is designed for reliable continuous operation in professional settings.
