INTRODUCTION

The BT-VGA is a stand-alone device that transforms a VGA video signal to and from 

CAT-5 twisted pair cabling. It has two sets of simple connections. The fi

rst is a DB-

15HD connector that connects to the VGA video source or VGA video display device. 

The second is a shielded CAT-5 connector for the CA

T-5 twisted pair connection. The 

BT-VGA is normally used as a pair

. Both ends are identical. The circuitry is passive so 

there is no need for a power supply. 

The BT-VGA allows a computer monitor or other VGA video device to be located an 

extended distance from the system it is to be connected to. Doing so with conventional 

monitor cabling is both expensive and prone to signal degradation. By using a pair 

of these devices and a run of CAT-5 the problem can be solved inexpensively and 

without signal loss and the introduction of noise. In addition, in today’s retrofit market 

an installer cannot always successfully run a wire from point A to point B. There exists 

however an abundance of twisted pair cabling in many homes. By using a pair of 

these devices with an existing wire an installer may be able to complete a job that he 

otherwise could not.
