Features

Product Overview: The C5-VGAWM is a transformer (Balun) to convert a CAT-5 signal to VGA video, and vice versa. Typically two are used at opposite ends of the signal path; one unit converts the video source to CAT-5 for transmission over a long distance, a second unit converts the CAT-5 signal back to VGA to feed a monitor.

Mounting: The Balun is designed to fit into a single gang J-box using the included wall plate. Multiple insert plates can be mounted in larger J-boxes using Decora-style wall plates designed to cover multiple gang J-boxes.

Input/Output

VGA: The female DB-15HD connector (D-sub15) on the front of the C5-VGAWM can be used as an input and converted to CAT-5, or as an output to feed a monitor.

CAT-5: The RJ-45 jack on the back of the unit can be used as an input and converted to VGA, or as an output to feed the network.
