VGA CAT5 Extender
VGA cables are commonly used to connect video signal from a PC or laptop to a screen. At lengths over 20m, VGA cables begin to lose signal quality. By sending VGA over CAT5, using this kit, you can extend the reach of VGA signal by up to 130m - perfect for long distance signal transmission, that would be otherwise not possible.
Distances
VGA (640x480): 137m
SVGA (800x600): 106m
XGA (1024x768): 76m
SXGA (1280x1024): 60m
Perfect for long distance signal transmission, that would be otherwise not possible.
What does the package include?
1 x Sender
1 x Receiver
1 x Instruction Booklet
Power source is not required in this kit, as everything is passive, saving you space, electricity and setup time.
How do I set it up?
The VGA CAT5 sender plugs directly into your source, typically a laptop or PC. The receiver should be plugged into an device such as a TV or monitor. A run of CAT5 cable, which can be up to 130 metres in length (depending on resolution) is then be run in between the sender and receiver.
Why buy?
Our VGA CAT5 extender allows installers to take advantage of CAT5 Ethernet cable, which has high quality signal transmission and interference resistance, for connecting VGA devices over long distances. CAT5 cable is most commonly used for computer networking, it is readily available and is very cheap. A CAT5 extender device such as this is a much more cost effective way to connect devices over long distances without loss of signal quality. CAT5 cable is relatively thin and flexible so it is easily installed, for example through walls. It can be self terminated which allows for tailored lengths to meet the exact requirements of any home or commercial installation.
Distance – Actual usable distance between the transmitter and receiver will vary on a number of factors including strength of signal, quality of terminations and local sources of interference. The distances quoted are based on use of CAT5 cable, and should be considered the absolute minimum. Usable distances are likely to be much greater and will increase with use of CAT5e, CAT6 or higher rated cable.
Build Quality - The units are well built and compact, with tough plastic casing and high quality circuitry. The attached cables are sheathed with durable PVC and connections are locking, ensuring that cables are resistant to breakage and are not able to be accidentally disconnected.
Reset Buttons - Allows quick reset of the device, which is sometimes required when connecting units to a source or screen that is already on.
Ground Path - Each unit has a screw terminal to allow a separate ‘ground path’ between the units. A ground path will already exist in most situations, however it may not when connecting a video source such as a laptop powered by an internal battery or isolated AC adaptor, or connections between separate structures with isolated grounds. The units additional ground path ensures maximum compatibility with video devices.
