Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a StarTech.com Ethernet VGA Remote Receiver. Combined
with a StarTech.com ST128UTP VGA Splitter and Extender and additional Remote
Receiver units, you can display the image from a computer or other VGA image source
on up to 8 different remote displays at a distance of up to 360 feet (110 meters). With no
drivers or software to install, this VGA Remote Receiver offers simple setup and crystal-
clear images at resolutions of up to 1600 x 1200 pixels.
Features
• Hardware-only solution: no drivers or software to install or configure
• Uses industry-standard Category 5 Ethernet cable
• Supports resolutions of up to 1600 x 1200 at 75Hz refresh (depends on distance of the
remote display)
Before You Begin
System Requirements
• 1 ST128UTP VGA Splitter and Extender (not provided)
• 1 high-quality HD15 male-to-female VGA cable to connect a computer to the
Remote Receiver (optional, not provided)
• Display (projector, monitor) that uses a standard VGA data connection
• Shielded Category 5 twisted pair (FTP) straight-through Ethernet cable terminated at
each end with RJ-45 connectors between Remote Receiver and VGA Extender (if using
surface cabling)
OR
• Shielded Category 5 twisted pair (FTP) straight-through Ethernet cable terminated at
each end in a wall-mounted outlet, with two standard Category 5 patch cables, one for
the Remote Receiver and one for the VGA Extender (if using premises cabling)
Do you need additional cables? Visit www.startech.com to find what you need and the
name of your local StarTech.com dealer.
NOTE: The total length of cable supporting the remote display cannot exceed 360 feet
(110 meters) from the VGA Extender, including patch cables (if used).
NOTE: Long cable lengths between the VGA Extender and the remote display may
adversely affect image quality at high resolutions and refresh rates. If you need to run
your remote display at high resolutions and frequencies, use as little Ethernet cabling
between locations as possible and avoid practices such as “coiling” unused cable in a
ceiling or behind the display.
