ATEN HDBaseT long distance media distribution
HDBaseT is a global standard technology for multi-signal distribution. HDBaseT-certified products can transmit 5 key signals, named 5Play, up to 150m over a single network cable. The technology is developed by the HDBaseT Alliance, of which ATEN has been a member since 2013. Ever since, ATEN regularly launches new HDBaseT long distance media distribution solutions.

One cable
Multiple signals can be distributed simultaneously over a single network cable. Cat cables are commonly used in new and existing installations, leaving the installation of HDBaseT products cost-efficient and without much extra effort. ATEN also offers it's own HDBaseT-certified Cat 6 cable 2L-2910.

HDBaseT is a global connectivity standard used in audiovisual, automotive, industrial computing and residential applications. In this wide range of settings, HDBaseT-certified products from multiple manufacturers, supporting one or more of the 5Play elements, can communicate directly with each other.
