Niles C5-VGA Black CAT-5 VGA video transformer

Your long-distance solution

As you've been designing and installing your whole-home audio and video system, you've encountered a few functionality-related challenges. Consider the following scenario, for example. All of your home theater equipment is, naturally, in the living room downstairs. Your desktop computer, however, is upstairs in the home office. You'd like to take advantage of your receiver or HDTV's PC input to view video, photos, or other content from your computer on your home theater video display. However, the challenge is getting the video signal from the PC in the office to the living room without suffering a loss of signal strength or quality. You know that if you try to run straight VGA cabling across that entire distance, you're going to end up with exactly that: a loss of signal quality. Plus, you'll spend a fortune on all the cabling. Accordingly, you've decided to run high-capacity, high-integrity, cost-effective CAT-5 cabling. The only thing you need now is a way to convert the video signal between VGA and CAT-5 connections. Enter the C5-VGA balun/transformer from Niles Audio. With its CAT-5 connector and DB-15HD VGA jack, the C5-VGA allows for simple, seamless conversion between cabling. Install one C5-VGA in the A/V closet, another in the upstairs bedroom, run CAT-5 cabling between the two, hook up your A/V components, and you're in business. That's your long-distance solution.
