VGA & Component Video-over-CAT5 Extensionss

Recommended Power Supply Connection

qCat 5 cable length of 0 to 150 feet:

It does not matter in which end you plug the power supply. Use whichever end that is most convenient for your setup.

qCat 5 cable length of 150 to 300 feet:

We recommend that you plug the power supply a the receiving end.

qCat 5 cable length of 300 to 500 feet:

Please plug the power supply at the receiving end, however, depending the grounding of the video source (PC) and the display device at the remote end, you may need to purchase an additional power supply to power up both ends.

qCat 5 cable lengths over 500 feet:

Purchase of an additional power supply to power up both ends is almost certainly needed.

3.Using Category-5 cable connect the AC504A-Receiver to the transmitter’s RJ45 output. Connect the remote monitor to the receiver either directly (VGA) or using the HD15 to 3 RCA cable (Component Video).

IMPORTANT

Do not connect this unit to any LAN device such as network cards or hubs as this may cause damage. Use EIA/TIA 568B standard straight-through patch wiring as shown below. Do not use crossover cables.
