This VGA extender allows you to extend VGA video signals over standard Cat 5 cabling for distances up to 492 feet (150 meters). It is ideal for environments where long-distance video transmission is needed without the need for additional software or drivers. The unit includes one base unit that can distribute video to eight ports via Cat 5 cabling and provides two local VGA ports for direct display connections. It is designed for use with the ST121 series of VGA over Cat 5 extenders, offering a reliable solution for video distribution in large spaces.
The ST1218T supports cascading multiple transmitter units, allowing for extended reach when combined with repeater units. Each repeater can add an additional 492 feet (150 meters) of distance, enabling a total of up to 984 feet (300 meters) when using three repeaters. This makes it suitable for applications such as digital signage, control rooms, or lecture halls where multiple displays are needed at a distance. The hardware-based design ensures compatibility with existing Ethernet infrastructure without requiring any additional configuration.
The unit is compatible with standard Cat 5 or better cabling and requires a receiver unit (ST121R) for each connected display. It supports high-quality video transmission with clear picture quality, making it suitable for professional and commercial settings. The design is compact and includes two local VGA ports for immediate use, while the rest of the ports are distributed through Cat 5 cabling. The unit is TAA compliant, ensuring it meets federal procurement standards.
The ST1218T comes in a single package with dimensions of 9.40L x 7.36W x 3.42H inches and weighs approximately 1.823 pounds. It is intended for use in environments where long-distance VGA extension is necessary, such as in educational institutions, corporate offices, or industrial facilities. The product is designed to be easy to install and maintain, with no software or drivers required for operation.
