Hi-Res VGA Video/Audio Extender via CAT5
How to extend VGA video up to 1000 feet away without degradation.
-
"I have installed the ST-C5V-1000S extender and it is working very well. I have checked our cabling and we are using a Cat5E, shielded twisted pair; and I would guess its length to be around 900 to 950 feet. I know that we talked about that being close to the limit according to the specs, but the image was really good at the remote end, just wanted to let you know."
