Safety and Notice The VAS-E VGA, Audio & RS-232 Serial with IR Pass-Thru over Single CAT5/RJ45 Extender Kit has been tested for conformance to safety regulations and requirements, and has been certified for international use. However, like all electronic equipments, the VAS-E should be used with care. Please read and follow the safety instructions to protect yourself from possible injury and to minimize the risk of damage to the unit. z Follow all instructions and warnings marked on this unit.
INTRODUCTION With only one cost effective Cat- 5e / 6 cable, the VAS-E lets you extend VGA (WUXGA), bi-directional IR signals and RS-232 serial commands at the same time to cover the distance up to 330m (1,000ft). The devices are composed of a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter (TX) of VAS-E is installed near the signal source and the receiver (RX) of VAS-E is placed near the desired display.

NOTICE 1. All transmission distances are measured using Belden 1583A CAT5e 125MHz Solid UTP cable and ASTRODESIGN Video Signal Generator VG-859C. The transmission distance is defined as the distance between the video source and the VGA display. 2. The transmission length is largely affected by the type of Cat-5e/6 cables, the type of VGA sources, and the type of VGA display.
