Introduction The StarTech.com Converge A/V VGA over Cat5 Video Extender system is comprised of a transmitter unit (ST1214T/ ST1218T) and a receiver unit (ST121R) and optionally a repeater unit (ST121EXT). This video extender system allows you to split and extend a single VGA source signal to up to four or eight separate remote locations. The VGA signal is extended using standard Cat5 UTP cable, with a maximum distance of up to 150m (492ft) or 250m (820ft) with a repeater.

Installation NOTE: To prevent potential electrical damage to the units in some environments, ensure that the chassis is properly grounded. Hardware Installation The following instructions detail how ST1214T, ST1218T, ST121R and ST121EXT units can be used to extend a VGA signal to remote displays, using a variety of different configurations. ST1214T/ ST1218T (local) and ST121R (remote) 1.
The following diagram illustrates the connection between Transmitter and receiver units. ST121R Remote Displays Cat5 cables (150m max) ST1214T VGA cables VGA cable ST1214T/ ST1218T (local), ST121EXT (extender), ST121R (Remote) Using the Transmitter Unit, you can split the VGA signal from the source into 4 separate VGA signals, for reception at remote locations.
OPTIONAL: with the optional mounting brackets (StarTech.com ID: ST121MOUNT), any ST121 series receiver can be securely mounted to a wall or other surface. 5. Using a standard UTP cable with RJ45 terminators on each end, connect the Cat5 OUT port provided by the Transmitter Unit to the Cat5 IN port provided by the Extender Unit. 6. Connect the Extender Unit to an available power outlet, using the adapter provided. OPTIONAL: You can connect two monitors directly to the Extender Unit.
The following diagram illustrates the connection between Transmitter and Receiver units, with the addition of an Extender Unit. Please note that although only one Extender is used in this illustration, up to four can be used simultaneously.

Operation ST1214T/ ST1218T, ST121EXT and ST121R all provide LED indicators, allowing simple operating status monitoring. Once the power adapter has been connected, the Power LED will become illuminated; similarly, when the unit is in use (i.e. transmitting a video signal), the Active LED will become illuminated. Signal Equalizer Selector (ST121R, ST121EXT) The Signal Equalizer Selector on the Receiver and Extender Units can be adjusted to obtain the optimal video signal for various cable lengths.
