TheSP‐90181x8VGAoverCAT5Transmitterprovidesthemostflexiblesolutionbywhichthe
highresolutionPCvideoandhighqualitystereoaudiocanbetransmittedtodifferentlocationsover
superlongdistances.Builtwith2VGAanddigital/analogaudioloopouts,localA/Vreceiverscan
provideextravideoandaudiofan‐outsthroughtypicalVGA,SPDIF,andanalogaudiocables.Thehigh
bandwidthVGAcanbetransmittedupto65meters(210feet)onthelocalports.SP‐9018alsoextends
VGAandstereoaudiosourceupto330meters(1000feet)throughcosteffectiveCAT‐5LANcables.
AccompanyingthereceiversofCV‐97VGACAT5extenderseriesequippedwiththeequalization,gain
controlandde‐skewfunctions,thevideoandaudioqualitycanbefurtherassuredandmakethe
qualityofoveralltransmissionsuperiorthantheotherVGAsplittersonthemarket.
Tobemoreflexibletoapplications,modelswith4ports(SP‐9014),12ports(SP‐9112),and16
ports(SP‐9116)RJ‐45outputsarealsoavailable.

Features
zSupportsuptoWUXGAorUXGAto300m(1,000ft)
zSupportsanalogstereoaudio
zSupportsS/PDIF
zAdjustableequalizationandgaincontrolonRXunit
zDe‐skewcompensationavailableforRGBdelaycontrol
Note:Thelengthdependsonthecharacteristicsandqualityofthecables.Higherresolutionsandlonger
transmissiondistancesrequirelowskewcables(<25ns/100m)forbestperformance.

1. AllthetransmissiondistancesaremeasuredusingBeldenCAT‐5e125MHzSolidcableand
ASTRODESIGNVideoSignalGeneratorVG‐859C.Thetransmissiondistanceisdefinedasthe
distancebetweentheSP‐9018andtheremoteVGAdisplay.
2. ThetransmissionlengthislargelyaffectedbythetypeofLANcables,thetypeofA/Vsources,and
thetypeofA/Vdisplay.ThetestingresultshowssolidLANcables(usuallyin300m/1000ftform)
cantransmitalotlongersignalsthanstrandedLANcables(patchcord).ShieldedSTPcablesare
bettersuitthanunshieldedUTPcables.AsolidUTPCAT5ecableshowslongertransmissionlength
thanstrandedSTPCAT6cable.Forlongextensionusers,solidLANcablesareyouronlychoice.
3. EIA/TIA‐568‐Btermination(T568B)forLANcablesisrecommendedforbetterperformance.
4. ToreducetheinterferenceamongtheunshieldedtwistedpairsofwiresinLANcable,youcanuse
shieldedLANcablestoimproveEMIproblems,whichisworseninlongtransmission.
5. BecausethequalityoftheLANcableshasthemajoreffectsinhowlongtransmissiondistancewill
bemadeandhowgoodisthereceiveddisplay,theactualtransmissionlengthissubjecttoyour
LANcables.Forresolutiongreaterthan1080ior1280x1024,aCAT‐6cableisrecommended.
