Compare models and choose the right option for you
Our video extenders comparison table helps you identify the key differences between our HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI, VGA and SDI/analogue video extenders so you can pick the right system depending on the requirements for your installation and your project budget.
Maximize your signal reach without the need for expensive new cabling, and deliver pixel-perfect video to remote displays. Black Box extenders are guaranteed to bring you the flexibility and scalability you need to transmit video with or without audio and control signals over the distance for point-to-point extensions or networked digital signage settings.
Give your HD video a boost by extending it over CATx or fibre optic cable. Using current infrastructure saves time and money. Sending video signals over fibre means, they can travel long distances with the added benefit of optical isolation and noise immunity.
With Black Box's Video Extenders, you can extend any video signal through dedicated wires or even over a network. Browse our Black Box Video Extenders alternatives and efficiently extend the reach of your installations and future-proof your system.
