Introduction

The StarTech.com Converge A/V VGA over Cat5 Video Extender system is comprised

of a transmitter unit (ST1214T/ ST1218T) and a receiver unit (ST121R) and optionally a

repeater unit (ST121EXT). This video extender system allows you to split and extend a

single VGA source signal to up to four or eight separate remote locations. The VGA signal

is extended using standard Cat5 UTP cable, with a maximum distance of up to 150m

(492ft) or 250m (820ft) with a repeater.

Installation

NOTE: To prevent potential electrical damage to the units in some environments, ensure

that the chassis is properly grounded.

Hardware Installation

The following instructions detail how ST1214T, ST1218T, ST121R and ST121EXT units

can be used to extend a VGA signal to remote displays, using a variety of dierent

congurations.

ST1214T/ ST1218T (local) and ST121R (remote)

1. Using the Transmitter Unit, you can split the VGA signal from the source into 4/8

separate VGA signals, for reception at remote locations (up to 150m (492ft) away).

2. Situate the Transmitter so that it is near your VGA video source as well as an available

power source.

3. Connect the VGA video source to the VGA IN port on the Transmitter, using a male-

female VGA cable.

4. Connect the Transmitter to the power source, using the power adapter provided.

5. Situate the Receiver Unit so that it is near the intended remote display(s) and an

available power source.

OPTIONAL: with the optional mounting brackets (StarTech.com ID: ST121MOUNT), any

ST121 series receiver can be securely mounted to a wall or other surface.

6. Using the Monitor Out ports, connect the Receiver to the display. Note that each

Receiver unit can be connected to two separate displays simultaneously. To connect

two monitors, simply connect a VGA cable from the second Monitor Out to a second

display.

7. Connect the Receiver to the power source using the power adapter provided.

8. Once the Transmitter and Receiver unit(s) have been positioned, connect the Cat5

OUT ports provided by the Transmitter unit to each Receiver Unit, using standard UTP

cable, with RJ45 connectors on each end.

Using the Transmitter Unit, you can split the VGA signal from the source into 4 separate

VGA signals, for reception at remote locations. While the maximum transmission distance

of the Transmitter is 150m (492ft), using the Extender Unit as a signal repeater adds

another 100m (328ft) to the total transmission distance, for a total extension of 250m

(820ft).

1. Situate the Transmitter Unit so that it is near your VGA video source as well as an

available power source.

2. Connect the VGA video source to the VGA IN port on the Transmitter, using a standard

male-female VGA cable.

3. Connect the Transmitter to the power source, using the power adapter provided.

4. Situate the Extender Unit up to 150m (492ft) away from the Transmitter unit, ensuring

that the Extender Unit is able to connect to an available power outlet.

Instruction Manual 6

OPTIONAL: with the optional mounting brackets (StarTech.com ID: ST121MOUNT), any

ST121 series receiver can be securely mounted to a wall or other surface.

5. Using a standard UTP cable with RJ45 terminators on each end, connect the Cat5 OUT

port provided by the Transmitter Unit to the Cat5 IN port provided by the Extender

Unit.

6. Connect the Extender Unit to an available power outlet, using the adapter provided.

OPTIONAL: You can connect two monitors directly to the Extender Unit. To do so, simply

connect the monitors to the MONITOR OUT ports on the Extender Unit.

7. Repeat step 4 to 7 for each Receiver Unit that will be used in conjunction with an

Extender (up to 8).

8. Situate the Receiver Unit up to 150m (492ft) away from the Extender Unit, so that it is

near the intended display(s) as well as an available power source.

9. Connect the Receiver Unit to the power source using the power adapter provided.

10.Using a standard UTP cable with RJ45 terminators on each end, connect the Cat5 OUT

port provided by the Extender Unit to the Cat5 IN port provided by Receiver Unit.

NOTE: Each Receiver Unit can be connected to two separate displays simultaneously. To

connect two monitors, simply connect a VGA cable from the second Monitor Out port to

a second display.

Instruction Manual 7

The following diagram illustrates the connection between Transmitter and Receiver units,

with the addition of an Extender Unit. Please note that although only one Extender is

used in this illustration, up to four can be used simultaneously.
