The Gefen VGA CAT-5 1:8 Distribution S

The VGA CAT-5 1:8 Distribution S is the perfect solution for sending high­denition video from a single VGA source to as many as eight remotely located
VGA displays. The system is capable of delivering resolutions up to 1920x1200
as far as 330 feet away from the source over industry standard CAT-5 cabling.

How It Works

Connect the VGA video source to the input of the VGA CAT-5 1:8 Distribution S
with the included VGA cable. The Sender and each Receiver (not included with
Sender unit) are then connected by individual runs of CAT-5 of up to 330 feet
in length. The Receiver units (sold separately) receive the video signal and DC
power from the Sender over the CAT-5, and are connected to the displays with
user supplied VGA cables. Power up the Sender with the included power supply,
and you now have crisp, high-resolution video at your remote displays.
Please note that all of the VGA displays used must have the same native

resolution in order to get a picture.
