The ATEN VM0808T 8x 8 Cat 5 A/V matrix switch is a versatile audio/video over Cat 5 + serial solution that offers an easy & affordable way to route any of 8 audio/video sources to any of 8 displays, in combination with the ATEN VE500 A/V over Cat 5 extender system. With eight Cat 5 A/V input ports, the VM0808T means that you can connect eight source devices (via eight VE500T transmitters) to eight monitors, displays, or projectors (via eight VE500R / VE500RQ receivers) at the same time. In addition to the eight Cat 5 connections, the unit is also enabled with local audio/video inputs/outputs so that an extra source device & monitor located in the same rack as the VM0808T can function as a further transmitter & receiver. Please note: networking components such as switches, routers, KVM & wireless devices require that speeds & standards be consistent throughout the network to gain optimum performance.
