Tripp Lite VGA over Cat5 / Cat6 Extender, Transmitter and Receiver with EDID Copy, 1920x1440 at 60Hz(B130-101-2)

These are poor quality, "get what you pay for" VGA extenders. I would never suggest these to a friend, and certainly would not recommend using them in any business, church, or commercial capacity. We used these for our church to extend VGA to project hymn lyrics from a PC-based program to two projectors (thus, we had two sets of these.) One set went bad within months, and while Tripp Lite eventually sent out a warranty replacement, that process was a hassle. Now, the one set that was original has gone bad about 3 months out of warranty (so we got less than a year and 1/2 out of these when we were told they should last 5 to 10 years since we only use them about 1.25 hours per week), and the warranty one is starting to act up so we think it's about on its last leg too. Go with Gefen products for extenders. I'm confident if we were able to follow up one year later with some of the positive reviewers here they would change their tune. If you buy this product, you might as well look at it as rental cost, for about 12 to 18 months, tops, of vga extension, because they won't last longer than that and Tripp Lite doesn't back up their brand name on these. They also get too hot, and are overly sensitive to any RF interference. If you're going to go cheap, there are VGA extenders out there for cheaper than this. If you're going to go quality, look elsewhere.

This was the ideal product for my application - permanent installation of an LCD projector. The wiring is very simple, using a standard CAT5 ethernet cable. These wallplates can be mounted to low-voltage brackets, which is much easier than installing gang boxes. I did have our electrician install a 110 VAC outlet for the projector, so the 'wall wart' power supply for the receiver was easily plugged in there. The transmitter is located near an existing wall outlet, which was needed to power the presenter's PC. So that was also convenient for the other power supply. Having the audio jacks makes it convenient to connect the headphone 'out' to the audio 'in' on the projector. (Since my room is fairly small, no extra speakers are needed.) The LEDs are handy for troubleshooting video issues. And finally, the metal cover plates won't crack during installation.

I am an AV professional. I purchased this product for small low budget show that I do, that has a very long run from computer to projector. Running a VGA cable, even with a DA, produced ghosting in the image. If you purchase the recommended Ethernet cable, this product works exactly as described. If you want better quality than this product then may i suggest that you first start with your source. Don't use VGA use DVI, and then run that down a fiber line. If you need or want to use VGA, then READ all of the material, hook up the product as recommended and you will be very pleased.

We set this up to try in our school classroom. Running through the wall then above the ceiling over to a projector. This is probably about 30-35 feet run. The picture image seemed a little washed out even after adjusting gain and EQ. The main reason I had to send this items back was when I played audio at a medium or high level lines appeared on my screen. It was vectorscope style, the horizontal flashing lines matched the music level. If the audio was low the lines went away. I tried a different cat5e cable with no change in results. I purchased to the StarTech.com VGA Video Extender over Cat 5 with Audio and swapped that out and it works just fine. I don't know if I got a bad TrippLite unit but I don't have time to sit with tech support to figure it out. I returned it and am going to using the StarTech model, which has more outputs for about the same price.

Works great for spitting/sending VGA signal over a long range. I had to add an additional display to my media display system and found I could daisy chain this off of a competitors product without any problems. It saved me hundreds of dollars because I didn't have to replace the old transmitters, just use their auxiliary port. I did have to tune it to get a good picture at first, but once dial in it looked as good as all of my other displays.

Have it setup in an office environment, so I have it going from one office to another through the server room. The picture is a little degraded, but considering I think the total wire length is longer than the recommendation, I'd say this product works pretty well.

This is a great product, was as described.This item is durable and easy to use.Was delivered on time and the price is just.

Some noise in the image, but worked for my purposes.

Cant tell if this a good product because it arrives with American 2 pin plug adapters. Will now have to purchase plugs separately.This should have been made clear when ordering!

ok
