Quick Installation Guide
Overview
The VGA Wall Balun eliminates costly and bulky VGA cable, allowing a VGA source to be
connected to a VGA monitor via one 4-pair Cat 5E/6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable.
Used in pairs, the VGA Wall Balun allows VGA video to be transmitted up to 350 ft (107 m)
via a Cat 5E/6 UTP cable at 800x600 resolution. Each VGA connection requires a VGA Wall
Balun or VGA Balun II at the source (500040, 500043 or 500043-WP-US) and a VGA Wall
Balun or VGA Balun II (500041 or 500042 or 500041-WP-US) at the display.
NOTES: The VGA Wall Balun does not support VGA handshaking and control signals.
Therefore it is necessary to set the monitor attributes prior to installing the VGA Baluns. In
order to do this, first connect the standard VGA cable directly from the PC to the monitor and
then set the monitor attributes to the required settings (i.e., resolution, color, etc.). Also, in
order to achieve optimum results via twisted pair, set the Contrast and Brightness levels to
maximum.
The shield on the RJ45 connector is provided as an option for use in harsh electrical
environments where shielded twisted pair cable (STP) may provide additional noise
immunity. When using STP, ensure that the shield on both sides is grounded.
Installation
1.
Connect the 500043-WP-US (or 500040 or 500043) to the VGA output of the PC
