(based on 5 ratings)
Brand: Cables To Go
Located in: Devices
One component of a robust solution that, when paired with a base unit (part #39959 sold separately), extends your VGA signal up to 300 meters (984 feet) over a Cat5E UTP cable, and distributes the signal to up to 4 monitors, projectors, or displays. Ideal for applications when your VGA monitor needs to be placed beyond the average 100 foot VGA cable limitation, and/or you want to split the signal to multiple displays. Driving a VGA signal over Cat5E helps you take advantage of your UTP cable infrastructure already there for a cost-effective and reliable installation. The TruLink VGA over Cat5 solution is ideal for applications when you need to place your computer in remote location. This is common in digital signage applications for retail stores, houses of worship, classrooms, and boardrooms where you need video presentation in one room, but want the computer to be out of sight and in a safe and secure environment. With the TruLink VGA over Cat5 Extender, you can place your display across the room, on another floor, or in another building while your computer remains in a convenient location. Input: One DC/12V Power Male (to power the Extender) and One RJ45 Female (to connect the base and remote units) Output: HD15 Female Please Note: Cat6 cables can be used but are not recommended due to skewing of signal pairs. Also, VGA signal gain and equalization length can be adjusted as necessary. Not sure what resolution you need? See our VGA resolution guide.

I love the concept, but I replaced 100% of the remote units within 3 years. Fully expecting the main unit to go at any moment.

Right out of the box, plug and play. This unit should be sold as a package with the base unit as you can't use one without the other :) Great product!

Comments about Cables To Go TruLink® VGA Over Cat5 Extender - Remote Unit:

We used this product to extend the VGA from the ceiling of our customers' conference room to a floor box. It made a difficult cable run much easier and saved us time and money. It was easy to install and makes for a very professional looking installation.
