Datasheet

Vision’s “Techconnect Twist” products allow a variety of signals to be
transmitted long distances over standard unshielded CAT5 cable.
Complete with an active transmitter and receiver the ‘TC2-VGATP’
enables use of cheap exible CAT5 cable to route ‘VGA’ signal from a
computer to a display device.

-VGATP
VGA-over-Twisted Pair
TECHCONNECT MODULE
The transmitter presents as a normal
Vision Techconnect VGA and minijack
module from the front, allowing tidy clip-
in installation.
UP TO 60M
VGA signal is weak which limits cable
length. The VGATP overcomes this and
can send 1024 x 768 resolution signal
through standard unshielded CAT5e
cable up to 60m long. Using CAT6 cable
extended the maximum length to 80m.
POE
Proprietary power-over-ethernet
technology means only one mains
power adaptor is required to power
both the transmitter and receiver. The
included international power adaptor
can use used at either end.
FASTER INSTALLATION
Installers can take advantage in
buildings which have been ood-wired
with network cable. Where a CAT5
cable is already in place the installation
is super-fast.
FUTURE-PROOF
Replacing VGA cable with a twisted
pair cable means if in the future you
need to replace the VGA with HDMI or
DisplayPort you can just change the
adaptors at the ends.
EQ
An equalisation adjustment pot on the
receiver allows for varying cable length.
EASIER TO WORK WITH
Compared to VGA cable CAT5 is much
less expensive and is easier to work
with; it has a tighter bend-radius, is
thinner, easier to pull, and simple to
terminate.
Note: This product does not support the
SCL and SDA lines which carry ‘Display
Data Channel’ (DDC) or the related
‘Extended Display Identication Data’
(EDID) data.
