Extend Your VGA Signal Up to 100 Feet Over Standard Network Cable
This VGA Extender Adapter Set (2-pack) allows you to transmit high-quality video signals from your computer, DVR, media center, or game console to a remote display—such as a TV, projector, or monitor—using ordinary Cat5, Cat5e, or Cat6 Ethernet cable (not included).
Designed as a cost-effective alternative to expensive active extenders, this compact, passive solution requires no external power and works instantly with plug-and-play simplicity. It’s ideal for home theaters, conference rooms, classrooms, and digital signage setups where long VGA runs are impractical or costly.

Important Usage Tips
- Ensure your source and display work with a standard VGA cable before using the extender.
- For best results, use a straight, uninterrupted Cat5/5e/6 cable (avoid patch panels or wall jacks).
- Keep network cable at least 2 feet (0.5m) away from fluorescent lighting to reduce interference.
- Do not use with network switches, routers, or hubs.
- Do not use crossover cables – use 568A or 568B straight-through wiring on both ends.
- If your TV shows “Unsupported PC Signal,” lower your PC resolution to 800×600 and gradually increase it. Many TVs support a fixed maximum of 1024×768.
- Works with VGA switches, splitters, and amplifiers for expanded setups.
FAQ
1. What distance can I achieve with this VGA extender?
We guarantee reliable performance up to 100 feet (≈33 meters). In optimal conditions, some users have achieved up to 150 feet (≈50 meters) at lower resolutions.
2. Does this adapter require external power?
No. It is a passive, plug-and-play device that draws no external power.
3. Can I use this with a network switch or router?
No. These adapters are designed for direct point-to-point connection only. Do not connect them through active network equipment.
