Leviton 21" Structred Media Cabinet - how to connect

I ran into that issue today......I needed some audio adapters for a job, essentially we have a room with mirrored workstations and 4 PC's each and have the PC speakers replaced by overhead 70V units with amps. Presently they've only got a single PC hooked up to the speakers, I'm adding an audio mixer and cables from the workstations to have the windows sounds overhead but not easily modified by the end users.mikefamig said:
Needed a 3.5mm stereo splitter and nowhere in state had one.....Ebay or Amazon it is.

Why? Seems like that'd get annoying, fast.

We have this place in Newington CT if you are in that area of the state

Very familiar with them....both myself and coworkers. Downside is cost and in our case, we have the possibility to have any variation under the sun in the field. Think a coworker went for a DB25 LPT cable or adapter, ended up spending $50. Same for a USB to serial.mikefamig said:
I ended up buying a case of Gefen extenders and the first 3 worked very well. Only bad part is both sides require power and a cable. Part of the beauty of the Tripplite ones I picked up was single sided and only 1 cable needed as the receiver had a whip on it, and powered via USB at the far end. They didn't work, as did some other ones we bought prior.....
I've seen them. Don't really have a pro/con thought on them besides the cost and you're stuck with the single manufacturer's devices. That said, I can see the appeal for a HO to get these put in, but in my everyday life, the short distances they can really be used don't help me. The ones I'm using now are good for 60m, which is already 2/3 the maximum allowable on a horizontal run from a closet. The other item I run into that HO's dont is that my infrastructure is generally a CatX cable between A and B and should have a defined length.
Actually, I just went through my emails, they're Aten, they're really built well. My bad

Ever deal with a security dispatch center or police operations center? Human nature, especially on a busy site that has alarms that come into multiple PC's and systems. Chief complaint is the sounds are "annoying"wkearney99 said:
When the end users start missing alarms, saying they didn't hear them, etc......and auditing the systems prove the alarm came in and how long it was active, you have to start looking for ways to prevent people from unplugging audio, turning volume down or muting the sounds. Same reason why the PC's are in an access controlled data closet. Easy enough to audit who and when.
Aten is the manufacturer.mikefamig said:
As far as HDMI, it comes down to whether or not the unit is a balun or not and what it actually does. A lot of what's out there are just baluns to convert to another cable or media. Whether or not the units convert the data to pass down another cable is another item. The biggest issues most have with converting passively is the timing and twists when using UTP cables.
