Creative expands its line of audio/video / RS232 / IR-over-CAT5 cable products with the introduction of a high-performance CAT5 Distribution Amplifier, Model CETx DA124. The DA124 is used to fan out to multiple locations the output from Creative CAT5 Transmitter Module, allowing the same signals to be sent to upto four different Creative CAT5 (Rx) Receivers. The RS232 or IR serial communication between the Tx and the four Rx’s provides the same commands to all locations.

About the Selector Switch Or (DATA Return Port):—A four position switch on the DA124 selects which of the remote locations is able to send data back to the Tx unit, avoiding any complex data collision management. About the selector switch - serial commands at the input of the Tx is broadcast to all four of the receivers, but, only one receiver can send commands back to the Tx - that receiver is selected by the switch. You can't have four receivers trying to send data back - it would just get scrambled - you have to limit it to one and only one receiver being selected to send commands back !

The DA 124 is power from an external +5V source. This unit also offers automatic reset Fuses, and built in Power Surge and transit protection.
