Eaton Tripp Lite B132-004-2 4-Port VGA over Cat5/6 Splitter and Extender Transmitter

Eaton Tripp Lite Series 4-Port VGA over Cat5/6 Splitter/Extender, Box-Style Transmitter for Video, Up to 1000 ft. (305 m), TAA

The Eaton Tripp Lite B132-004-2 is a versatile VGA over Ethernet transmitter designed to distribute high-quality video signals over long distances. Ideal for digital signage, educational institutions, retail environments, and places requiring multiple displays, this unit allows a single VGA source to be split into up to five displays (1 local and 4 remote). By daisy-chaining up to six B132-004-2 units, users can extend the video signal to support up to 25 monitors, offering extensive scalability for complex setups. The transmitter supports a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1440 at 60Hz when using high-quality, solid wire Cat5e or Cat6 cables, such as Tripp Lite’s N022-01K-GY or N222-01K-GY, with a maximum reach of 500 feet. When paired with remote units like the B132-100-1 or B132-100-WP-1, it ensures reliable video transmission over significant distances without compromising image quality. The unit also supports additional expansion with B132-110A repeaters, which can extend the signal further, up to 1,000 feet, while maintaining clarity for resolutions up to 1024 x 768 at 60Hz. For optimal performance over extended runs, especially between 500 and 1,000 feet, it is recommended to use a Zero-Skew cable such as Tripp Lite’s P524-01K, which minimizes signal skew and maintains image integrity. The B132-004-2 features an EDID copy function, which allows it to replicate the display’s EDID information and send it to the computer, ensuring compatibility and optimal display performance. This unit is designed with flexible mounting options, including wall, pole, or rack mounting, and can be installed in a 1U rack space using a compatible rackmount bracket. With compliance to the Federal Trade Agreements Act (TAA), it is suitable for GSA Schedule purchases, making it a reliable choice for government and enterprise applications. The package includes mounting hardware, a short daisy-chain cable, an external power supply, and an owner’s manual, providing everything needed for quick installation and operation.
