VGA wall outlets

Not too Mac but we can use them too!

What do you think about sending VGA throughout your facility with the new VGA Video over Cat 5 Extender Transmitter and Receiver Wallplates?

These new VGA Video over Cat 5 Extenders offer scalable professional grade VGA at a cost effective alternative to video systems that use proprietary cable and connectors.

StarTech, manufacturer of A/V and digital signage connectivity solutions, has launched three new products in its Converge A/V “UTPE series” family of VGA over Cat 5 Extender devices, designed to work as part of an overall system of extending and splitting VGA video using Cat 5 cable between the transmitting and display points.

The new products include:

  • The VGA Video over Cat 5 Extender Transmitter Wallplate (STUTPTXWAL)
  • The VGA Video over Cat 5 Extender Receiver Wallplate (STUTPRXWAL)
  • and the STUTPWALL which includes both the VGA Video Extender

John Mardinly, Product Manager for StarTech.com says

One of the main differentiators between our UTPE series of VGA extender wall plates and competitive products is that our wall plates are linked to other extender devices using Cat5 cable, as opposed to proprietary cabling and connectors … Cat5 cable is not only easier to run, but much less costly than proprietary cabling. Whereas some types of proprietary video extender cabling can cost up to $5/ft, Cat5 cable can be purchased for bulk installations somewhere in the price range of 10 cents/ft.
