4.0 CONNECTING THE HARDWARE
Please study the panel drawings below and become familiar with the signal input,
outputs, power requirements/inputs plus any controls present.
Note: Each product has somewhat different capabilities and therefore different
cable connections are present. Locate the drawing for the item(s) you have
purchased and become familiar with the connectors used in that product.
Note: The resolution capability of the remotely located display devices must be
capable of displaying the output of the PC. Before connecting the CAT 5
extender system, verify that the display device can accept the PC output by
connecting it directly to the PC.
4.1 1T-VGA-CAT Transmitter and Receiver
1T-VGA-CAT: Connect the PC’s display output to the VGA IN connector on the
transmitter. Connect a CAT 5 cable’s RJ-45 connector to the CAT 5 RJ-45 receptacle
on the Transmitter module. At the remote end (no more than 580 feet away for this
product), connect the other end of the CAT 5 cable to the Receiver’s RJ-45
receptacle then connect the remote display to the VGA OUT connector on the
receiver. Connect the supplied AC adapters first to the respective transmitter and
receiver and then to the AC sockets. Lastly, turn on the PC and displays. The PC’s
VGA output should now appear on the remotely located display device.

9
4.2 1T-VGA-CAT-XL Transmitter and Receiver
1T-VGA-CAT-XL: Connect the PC’s display output to the VGA IN connector on the
transmitter and then connect a monitor to the VGA LOOP OUT connector if you desire
to observe the PC output locally. Connect a CAT 5 cable’s RJ-45 connector to the CAT
5 RJ-45 receptacle on the Transmitter module. At the remote location (Up to1000 feet
away for this product), connect the other end of the CAT 5 cable to the Receiver’s RJ-
45 receptacle then connect the remote display to the VGA OUT connector on the
receiver. Connect the supplied AC adapters first to the respective transmitter and
receiver and then to the AC sockets. Lastly, turn on the PC and displays. The PC’s
VGA output should now appear on the remotely located display device.
Note: The 1T-VGA-CAT, 1T-VGA-CAT-XL and 1T-VGAST-CAT-XL packages contain
both a transmitter and a receiver module. The 1T-VGA4-CAT and 1T-VGA8-CAT are
transmitters only, intended to feed either 4 or 8 separate CAT 5 cables to dedicated,
remotely located 1T-VGA-CAT-RXL receivers.

10
4.3 1T-VGAST-CAT-XL Transmitter and Receiver
1T-VGAST-CAT-XL: Connect the PC’s display output to the HD-15 INPUT
connector on the transmitter and then connect a monitor to the HD-15 OUTPUT
connector if you desire to observe the PC output locally. Connect a CAT 5
cable’s RJ-45 connector to the CAT 5 RJ-45 receptacle on the Transmitter
module. At the remote location (Up to1000 feet away for this product), connect
the other end of the CAT 5 cable to the Receiver’s RJ-45 receptacle then
connect the remote display to the HD-15 OUT connector on the receiver.
If integration of the PC’s Audio is desired or if you wish to integrate the audio
from a microphone for narration purposes, connect an audio cable from either the
PC’s line level audio out connector to the 1T-VGAST-CAT-XL’s AUDIO IN
connector or plug a microphone’s 3.5mm plug into the 1T-VGAST-CAT-XL’s MIC
IN connector. Connect an amplifier input to the 1T-VGAST-CAT-XL Receiver’s
AUDIO OUTPUT connector. If a microphone is used, adjust the MIC GAIN on the
1T-VGAST-CAT-XL’s transmitter module as required.
Connect the supplied AC adapters first to the respective transmitter and receiver
and then to the AC sockets. Lastly, turn on the PC and displays. The PC’s VGA
output should now appear on the remotely located display device.
