2. Overview
2.1 Introduction
The VX-1001-TX and VX-1001-RX are a pair of HDMI extenders with USB-HID*
and PoC (Power over CATx).
*Keyboard and mouse only.
• VX1000 Series Extender Transmitter - 4K, HDMI, CATx, USB (VX-1001-TX)
• VX1000 Series Extender Receiver - 4K, HDMI, CATx, USB (VX-1001-RX)
The extender pair distributes 3840 x 2160 @ 60Hz Chroma sub-sampling 4:2:0
(8-bit only) video, power, Ethernet, RS-232, and USB up to 328 feet (100
meters) over a single CATx cable.
USB-HID passthrough enables users to control or monitor a remote server form
a harsh environment or to operate a physically inaccessible PC, server, or work-
station remotely.
With 48-V PoH integrated inside, the extender pair needs just one power supply
connected to the RX unit to power both units. A screw-on connector secures
the 12-V power supply to the transmitter to prevent the power from accidentally
being disconnected. LEDs indicate power supply to units and signal status to
show an established connection between connected devices.
