SP Controls CatLinc - Manual (Page 4)

CatLinc VGA-L
The CatLinc VGA-L allows VGA (or RGBHV) connec-
tion between two or three devices using CAT5,
CAT5e, or CAT6 twisted pair cable.
Connection is made to devices using a standard
male HD-15 connector. The CatLinc VGA-L
Transmitter provides a local loop-back female VGA
cable to split the signal to a local display in addition
to the CAT5 connection to the Receiver.
NOTE: the local loop-back VGA must be terminated
or the VGA signal will be affected. If you do not have
a second device, a male VGA 75 ohm terminating
plug can be used. A terminating plug can be sepa-
rately ordered from SP Controls (part no. CatLinc TERM).
The CatLinc VGA -L Transmitter actively buffers and amplifies the source
signal, eliminating the need for the interfaces or distribution amplifiers that
are often required with VGA signals.
The CatLinc VGA -L can extend a VGA signal up to 91m/300ft over standard
CAT5 cable. At typical distances this product will provide excellent image
quality for all resolutions. It can be used for longer runs, but the image qual-
ity may be reduced. A Distance/Resolution chart (Page 4, Table 1) indicates
supported resolutions based on CAT5 cable length.
A single screwdriver adjustment at the Receiver allows fine-tuning for best
picture detail (see page 3).
