This CAT5 VGA Extender (Receiver) Audio/Video Wall Plate can be used with StarTech.com's UTPEA VGA with Audio extender system, allowing in-wall connections from a VGA video and audio source to a remote location up to 300m (950ft) away.
Both VGA transmitter and receiver units use a 12V DC terminal block connector behind the unit that offers a more secure and economical installation; using Cat5/Cat6 cable to extend the VGA signal offers a cost-effective solution based on the broad availability of networking cable which is far more flexible than VGA cable, not to mention less expensive.
Unlike some video extension systems, StarTech.com's VGA extender wall plates also allow you to make use of an existing networking cable (Cat5, Cat6) infrastructure, eliminating the need to re-run cable in the event of an upgrade from VGA to another video standard, by simply swapping out the wall plates.
