The Gefen VGA RS232 Extender

The Gefen VGA RS232 extends any VGA source to a monitor or digital signage

application placed up to 330 feet (100 meters) using one CAT-5 cable. This

product also extends RS-232 using the same CAT-5 cable, allowing access to

control devices using RS-232.

How It Works

Place the Sender Unit next to the VGA source. Use the included VGA cable to

connect the source to the Sender Unit. Connect the Receiver Unit to the monitor

or digital signage display with a VGA cable (not supplied). Use one CAT-5 cable,

up to 330 feet (100 meters), to connect the Sender Unit to the Receiver Unit.

Connect an RS-232 serial cable from the RS-232 port on the Sender Unit to the

RS-232 control device. Connect the RS-232 port on the Receiver Unit to the RS-

232 device.
