This 8 Port transmitter unit is designed for use with Star Tech.coms ST121 VGA Video over Cat 5 extension series. This convenient video distribution system simplifies implementing digital signage solutions by allowing a single VGA source to be broadcast to multiple displays at up to 492 ft. (150m) away. Comprised of an 8 port VGA extender unit (this device
- ST1218T) or a 4 port VGA extender unit (ST1214T) & one ST121R Receiver Unit per display as necessary, the VGA & Audio extension series can transmit a single VGA output & corresponding audio to four or eight displays/receivers over standard Cat 5 UTP cable. For even more versatility, the VGA over Cat 5 Repeater (ST121EXT) can be used to increase the total VGA extension distance by an additional 492 ft., allowing the VGA signal to be broadcast at a total distance of 984 ft. from transmitter to receiver. Similarly, up to three repeater units can be used between the transmitter & receiver units allowing monitors to be connected between the two units, while still extending the total distance between the transmitter & receiver units.
