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.
