Overview
The VGA Balun eliminates costly and bulky VGA cable,
allowing a VGA source to be connected to a VGA monitor
via 4-pair Cat5e/6 twisted pair cable. In order to ensure a
commons signal ground, shielded twisted pair is
required.
Used in pairs, the VGA Balun allows VGA video to be
transmitted up to 350ft (107m) via Cat5e/6 at 800 x 600
resolution. Each VGA connection requires a VGA Balun at
the source (500010) and a VGA Balun (500011 or 500014)
at the display. The VGA Balun works in conjunction with
PCs, laptops, plasma, LCD monitors and DLP projectors.
Applications
Boardroom systems, classroom projection systems
digital signage, custom residential AV, DVR monitor
extension, medical display systems.

The VGA Balun 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.
