Quick Installation Guide
Overview
The VGA Balun II eliminates costly and bulky VGA cable, allowing a VGA source to
be connected to a VGA monitor via one 4-pair Cat 5E/6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP)
cable. Used in pairs, the VGA Balun II allows VGA video to be transmitted up to 350 ft
(107 m) via a Cat 5E/6 UTP cable at 800x600 resolution. Each VGA connection
requires a VGA Balun II at the source (500040, 500043) and a VGA Balun II (500041
or 500042) at the display.
NOTES
• The VGA Balun II does not support VGA handshaking and control signals. Therefore
it is necessary to set the monitor attributes prior to installing the VGA Baluns. In order
to do this, first connect the standard VGA cable directly from the PC to the monitor
and then set the monitor attributes to the required settings (
i.e.
, resolution, color, etc.).
Also, in order to achieve optimum results via twisted pair, set the Contrast and
Brightness levels to maximum.
• The shield on the RJ45 connector is provided as an option for use in harsh electrical
environments where shielded twisted pair cable (STP) may provide additional noise
immunity. When using STP, ensure that the shield on both sides is grounded.
