cctv_down_under 0 Posted November 23, 2006 I have tried before to extend a VGA signal up to 15 - 20 meters but the end result had some loss, I have heard there are now LAN based devices to do this, I basically want to house a DVR in the comms room and control it....without remote software with a Keyboard Mouse and Monitor in another room 15 - 20 Meters away. I know you can get higher quality VGA cables and Mouse and Keyboard is no issue but even with gold connectors and higher quality cables, do you not get a loss?

msecure 0 Posted November 23, 2006 Look for "Cat5 VGA Extender" The passive one can goes up to 135 meter but I normally will not push it to the limit so 100 meter would be fair. The active one can goes up to 300 meter on paper! You can also look up for "CAT5 Keyboard Mouse Extender" also can reach 100 meter. Google it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
