INTRODUCTION
The C5-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 first 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 C5-VGA is normally used as a pair
.
Both ends are identical. The circuitr
y is passive so there is no need for a power supply
.
The C5-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 al
ways successfully run a
wire from point A to point B.
There exists ho
wever 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.
