Audio Authority AVP-11D UniDrive
1:1 Active Dual Cat 5 Component / Digital Audio Extender System with Decora Wallplate Receiver
Audio Authority AVP-11D UniDrive 1:1 Active Dual Cat 5 Component / Digital Audio Extender System with Decora Wallplate Receiver
This Audio Authority AVP-11D UniDrive 1:1 Active Dual Cat 5 Component / Digital Audio Extender System uses an active design, so it can transmit high-definition component video, as well as both analog and digital audio, up to 1000 feet, using inexpensive CAT5-type cables - a range that passive balun systems simply cannot achieve! If you need Cat5-type cables, we have them available here.
Employing Audio Authority's industry-leading AGE (Active Gain Equalization) technology, the UniDrive system delivers
pristine HDTV video at all resolutions up to 1080p, as well as full bandwidth analog stereo audio and multi-channel
digital audio. The
AVP-11D even includes a return pathway for IR control. The enclosed transmitter unit can be mounted just
about anywhere and the receiver can be easily installed in a standard deep single-gang electrical box.
If you would prefer to have an enclosed receiver unit (similar to the transmitter), please check out this system or click here to see a comparison of all Audio Authority Component Video over Cat-5 Distribution Systems.
Like most Audio Authority products, the AVP-11D comes with a one year limited warranty from the manufacturer.

Overview
The UniDrive is "A Better Kind of Balun" - a high performance active point-to-point Cat 5 extender capable of distributing high definition component video, analog stereo audio, and digital audio signals from one source to one display over distances up to 1,000 feet. Including proprietary A.G.E. (Active Gain Equalization) technology, high frequency signals are presented with their original quality intact. Incorporating the key signal paths necessary for premium audio and video entertainment, plus an IR pathway for easy remote control of AV components, the AVP-11D replaces six coaxial cables with two inexpensive, easy to install Cat 5 cables, and requires no power at the Cat 5 Receiver.
- Up to 1080p component video (YPbPr)
- Coaxial digital and stereo analog audio
- Infrared remote jack for IR pathway
- Only one power supply required: Receiver is phantom-powered through Cat 5 cable
- Single-gang Wallplate includes three Decora color inserts
- Alternative Cat 5 Wallplate/receivers: Model 9878 and 9879

What makes the UniDrive "A Better Kind of Balun"?
- Proprietary A.G.E.(Active Gain Equalization) circuitry allows for compensation over long distances, something a passive balun can't deliver
- More installation friendly than most "active" baluns - power pack is only required at the transmitter, making for a clean appearance in the viewing area
- Wide variety of signal types meet almost any installation requirement (component video, analog audio, digital audio, and IR)
Receiver Options
[The included 9879 Cat 5 receiver is easy to install in a standard deep, single-gang electrical box. 9879 wallplate/receivers come with three Decora color inserts: white, ivory, and almond.
The UniDrive transmitter is also compatible with the 9878 and 9890 receivers. 9878 wallplate/receivers that can be installed in standard shallow dual-gang electrical boxes. 9880 enclosed receivers can be conveniently mounted on any surface, on or inside a wall, or even on a TV or TV mount.
See AVP-11 for a kit that includes a 9880 enclosed receiver.]
The Infrared Pathway
The 3.5mm IR jacks provide convenient access for a third party IR remote distribution network over the passive, three-wire pathway on the Cat 5 cable. IR receiver and emitter equipment is not included.
