Intelix VGA-SR Passive VGA Balun 

Quick Installation Guide 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Overview 

The Intelix VGA-SR balun allows VGA video signals to be transmitted passively up to 450ft 
(132m) via standard unshielded twisted pair cabling, such as Cat 5 or Cat 6. The VGA-SR 
eliminates costly and bulky VGA cable, connecting VGA sources and destinations over 
extended distances.  

 

 
 

Pre-Installation 

 

The VGA-SR does not support VGA handshaking and control signals. 

It is necessary to set 

the monitor attributes prior to installing the VGA-SR send and receive baluns. In order to do 
this, first connect the source (i.e., PC) to the destination (i.e., monitor) with a standard VGA 
cable. After doing so, set the monitor attributes to the required settings (i.e., resolution, color, 
etc.). For best results, also set the contrast and brightness to the maximum level.  

 
The shielded RJ45 connector is provided as an option in harsh electrical environments, 
such as environments with large motors or cable runs near sources of interference

. In 

such environments, shielded twisted pair cable (STP) may provide additional noise immunity. 
When using STP, endure the shield on both ends of the cable run is grounded. 

 

 

 

 
 

Installation 

 

To install the VGA-SR balun, perform the following steps: 

 

Caution:  

Do not attempt to open the housing. There are no user-serviceable parts inside 

the VGA-SR. Opening the unit will void your warranty. 

1.

 

Power off the source and destination devices which will be connected via the Intelix 
VGA-SR balun.  

2.

 

Verify the modular outlets and cross connects to which you will connect the VGA-SR are 
configured properly and labeled appropriately to identify the circuit.   

Caution:  

Do not connect the VGA-SR to a telecommunication outlet wired to unrelated 

equipment. Making such a connection may damage the equipment and/or the balun.  
Please ensure that all wiring is “straight-through” twisted pair. 

3.

 

Verify the desired twisted pairs are not being used for other LAN or telephone 
equipment. 

4.

 

Connect the send balun to the VGA port of the source equipment.  Tighten the mounting 
screws on each balun. 

Caution: 

Do not mount the balun over equipment ventilation openings. Covering the 

openings may cause the equipment to overheat.
