CYAN VGA VIDEO EXTENDER
2. Introduction
2.1 Overview
The Cyan VGA Video extenders extend VGA video signals over Category 5/5e/6
cable.
WARNING
This equipment is not intended for, nor does it support, distribution
through an Ethernet network. Do not connect these devices to any sort
of networking or telecommunications equipment!
2.2 Equipment You May Also Need
• DB15M-M video cables
2.3 Compatible Cabling
Cyan extender products are compatible with Cat5/5e/6 data cabling.
CAT5/5e/6 cabling for the Cyan extender must be pinned to the TIA-EIA T568B
wiring specification (see appendix A). We also highly recommend that all
CAT5/5e/6 cables be pre-terminated and tested. Cables terminated on-site or in an
existing infrastructure should be tested before use to ensure compliance with the
TIA-EIA T568B specification. Using incorrectly terminated CAT5/5e/6 cables can
damage the units.

3. Setup and Installation
3.1 Making the Connections
3.1.1 CONNECTIONS AND SETUP IN GENERAL
This section contains figures showing connections with the specific Cyan
Extenders. In general the connection and setup procedure at both transmitter and
receiver ends is as follows:
At the sender end:
1. Connect the source video to the Cyan Extender Video In port.
2. Connect the CAT5/5e/6 cables to the sender.
3. Connect power supply
At the receiver end :
1. Connect the display to the Cyan Extender Video Out port.
2. Connect the CAT5/5e/6 cables to the UTP connection.
3. Set EQ switch for best picture quality
3.1.2 CONNECTIONS ON THE CYAN VIDEO EXTENDER:
Figure 3-1 shows the Cyan Extender Transmitter connections and Figure 3-2
shows the receiver connections.

4. Troubleshooting
4.1 Common Problems
In most cases, nearly every issue with the Cyan Extenders can be resolved by checking
the CAT5/5e/6 termination and making sure that it’s pinned to the T568B wiring
specification. However, there may be other problems that cause the system to not
perform as it’s designed. Below are solutions to the most common installation errors.
Problem: No video signal at the receiver.
Solution: • Check that both units are powered. Note that the receiver is
powered via the transmitter over the cat5 cable. The power is on
pair 4, pins 7,8. Ensure this pair is terminated correctly (see
Appendix A).
• Ensure Cable Length Compensation Switches are set
correctly.
• Make sure the CAT5 cable is terminated correctly per the
568B wiring specification.
• Is the display device powered on and functioning?
Problem: Poor video quality.
Solution: • Check all cable connections.
• Ensure Cable Length Compensation Switches are set
correctly.
• The video signal’s refresh rate may be set too high for the display.
Reset to a lower refresh rate in your monitor configuration menu.
