Description

StarTech ST1214T VGA over Cat5 Extender

Overview

The StarTech ST1214T is a VGA over Cat5 extender kit designed to distribute a single VGA video source to up to four remote displays. This setup is ideal for digital signage, presentation rooms, or command centers where a central video feed needs to be replicated across multiple locations without signal degradation over distance. The ST1214T utilizes standard Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cabling, simplifying installation and reducing the cost associated with running bulky VGA cables long distances. The system includes both the local transmitter unit and the remote receiver units.

Compatibility

This extender supports VGA video signals up to 1600x1200 resolution. Maximum supported resolution is dependent on cable length: 1600x1200 at 150ft (50m), 1280x1024 at 300ft (100m), and 1024x768 at 500ft (150m). It requires standard VGA (15-pin HD D-Sub) connections for both input and output. The system uses standard RJ45 connectors for the Cat5e/Cat6 transmission links.

Installation Notes

The ST1214T requires a 12V DC, 0.6A power adapter for the transmitter unit, drawing a maximum of 7.2 Watts. The system operates on 100-240V AC input voltage. Ensure that the Cat5e or Cat6 cable runs are not exceeding the maximum specified lengths for the desired resolution to maintain signal integrity. The transmitter unit features one VGA input, one local VGA output for monitoring, and four RJ45 outputs for the remote receivers.
