AV cables and
connectivity
that take the hassle out of installing AV
Teachers now increasingly make use of technology in the
classroom and it’s common to have an interactive whiteboard,
ceiling or wall mounted projector and perhaps an audio system
which typically consists of a microphone, amplifier and either
ceiling or wall mounted speakers.
Although you can purchase interactive whiteboards that do
not use cables, or wireless projectors, the majority of the AV
equipment within the classroom uses cables.
AV faceplates
The Clever Little Box single-gang AV faceplate (1GEIAVPLT)
has VGA input for your computer, along with two phono
sockets for computer audio (stereo). For your DVD etc.,
it has one composite phono video input with two phono
sockets for stereo audio.
This means you can connect your PC monitor, audio source
and PC network without the use of loads of trailing cables.
Easy to install and convenient on either a single or double
gang plate.
The Clever Little Box double-gang AV input plate (2GEIAVPLT)
has two VGA sockets to connect two computers, one 3.5mm
stereo jack for audio input (PC, MP3 player, etc). It has a USB
connector and an RJ-45 network socket. For a DVD, etc., it has
one composite phono video input with two phono sockets for
stereo audio.
You can connect a printer via the USB. You can also connect
anything that has left and right audio connectors, or can convert
to them, so for example, a CD player might be able to go from a
3.5mm jack to phono connector in the faceplate. You could also
connect a DVD player, provided it had phono connectors on the
back (not all DVD players have these connectors).
Both plates are made from steel with solderless VGA sockets,
for easy installation.
As teachers acquire other equipment such as a DVD player,
printer or a visualiser, it is easy to end up with a multitude of
trailing cables.
When installing AV equipment, cables may be routed by your
installer to a faceplate near the teacher’s desk. The faceplate
has connectors so you can control the various technologies from
one point, for example, turning up the speaker volume.
Pre-terminated wall box kits come with all installation cables already internally
connected, for high speed ‘plug and play’ classroom installation. In 10m or 15m
lengths, these wall box connections will give tidy, secure cable connectivity, from
which teachers can control their AV equipment from one place.
