----------------- Introduction The “VGA CAT5 Extender” pair enables you to transmit VGA signals up to 150M (500 ft.) away with resolution up to 1024 x 768. Featuring common mode noise suppression circuit for superb VGA quality via inexpensive unshielded twisted pair CAT5 cables. The Local unit duplicates the input signal for local use and transmits the VGA signal to a Remote unit. Upon receiving the VGA signal via a CAT5 connector, the Remote unit broadcasts the signal to two VGA outputs.

----------------- CAT5 Cable The Extender Pair requires a piece of UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) CAT5 cables no longer than 150 meters (490 feet). The cable must be wired according to the EIA/TIA 568B industry standard as shown below.

----------------- Installation VGA CAT5 Extender Pair The figure indicates the complete connection. Note: Not all devices shown below are required for the pair to operate. CAT5 cable, VGA source and power supplies are required.
VGA + Audio CAT5 Extender Pair Note: The pair can be used for either audio or VGA signal or both. The "VGA + Audio CAT5 Extender" accepts one stereo signal (the left and the right channels) input on an audio jack (similar to a computer). This stereo signal is broadcasted to the two local audio outputs and is "mixed" together to form a mono signal before transmitting to a Remote unit via CAT5 cable. Therefore, the left channel and the right channel audio signals at a Remote unit are the same.
----------------- Operation LED There are two LEDs on the Local unit. The POWER LED must illuminate indicating the unit is properly powered. The ACTIVE LED illuminates when there is VGA input signals. Likewise, the POWER LED of the Remote unit illuminates indicating the unit is properly powered. Its ACTIVE LED illuminates when VGA signals are properly decoded for the two local HDB15 VGA ports. The ACTIVE LED never turns on, if the "VGA + Audio CAT5 Extender" is used to transmit audio signals only.

----------------- Troubleshooting Symptom Solution No VGA signals at the Remote unit. . Both units must be powered . ACTIVE LED on the Local unit and the Remote unit must illuminate indicating the signal is correct. VGA signal is garbled Make sure the wires are correctly wired inside the cable according to EIA568A or EIA568B standard. ACTIVE LED at the Remote unit is . The ACTIVE LED of the Local unit always off. must be on. Check the wirings of the CAT5 cable. .
