Introduction
The StarTech.com Converge A/V VGA over Cat5 Video Extender
system is comprised of a transmitter unit (ST1214T/ST1218T) and
a receiver unit (ST121R) and optionally a repeater unit (ST121EXT).
This video extender system allows you to split and extend a single
VGA source signal to up to four or eight separate remote locations.
The VGA signal is extended using standard Cat5 UTP cable, with
a maximum distance of up to 150m (492ft) or 300m (984ft) with a
repeater.

Installation
NOTE: To prevent potential electrical damage to the units in some
environments, ensure that the chassis is properly grounded.
Hardware Installation
The following instructions detail how ST1214T, ST1218T, ST121R
and ST121EXT units can be used to extend a VGA signal to remote
displays, using a variety of different configurations.
ST1214T/ST1218T (local) and ST121R (remote)
1. Using the Transmitter Unit, you can split the VGA signal from the
source into 4/8 separate VGA signals, for reception at remote
locations (up to 150m (492ft) away).
2. Situate the Transmitter so that it is near your VGA video source as
well as an available power source.
3. Connect the Transmitter to the power source, using the power
adapter provided.
4. Connect the VGA video source to the VGA IN port on the
Transmitter, using a male-female VGA cable.
5. Situate the Receiver Unit so that it is near the intended remote
display(s) and an available power source.
OPTIONAL: with the optional mounting brackets (StarTech.com ID:
ST121MOUNT), any ST121 series receiver can be securely mounted
to a surface or the back of a VESA compliant flat-panel display.
5
6. Connect the Receiver to the power source using the power adapter
provided.
7. Using the Monitor Out ports, connect the Receiver to the display.
Note that each Receiver unit can be connected to two separate
displays simultaneously. To connect two monitors, simply connect a
VGA cable from the second Monitor Out to a second display.
8. Once the Transmitter and Receiver unit(s) have been positioned,
connect the Cat5 OUT ports provided by the Transmitter unit to each
Receiver Unit, using standard UTP cable, with RJ45 connectors on
each end.
The following diagram illustrates the connection between Transmitter
and receiver units.
ST1214T/ST1218T (local), ST121EXT (extender), ST121R (Remote)
Using the Transmitter Unit, you can split the VGA signal from the
source into 4 separate VGA signals, for reception at remote locations.
While the maximum transmission distance of the Transmitter is 150m
(492ft), using the Extender Unit as a signal repeater adds another
150m (492ft) to the total transmission distance, for a total extension of
300m (984ft).

1. Situate the Transmitter Unit so that it is near your VGA video source
as well as an available power source.
2. Connect the Transmitter to the power source, using the power
adapter provided.
3. Connect the VGA video source to the VGA IN port on the
Transmitter, using a standard male-female VGA cable.
4. Situate the Extender Unit up to 150m (492ft) away from the
Transmitter unit, ensuring that the Extender Unit is able to connect to
an available power outlet.
OPTIONAL: with the optional mounting brackets (StarTech.com ID:
ST121MOUNT), any ST121 series receiver can be securely mounted
to a surface or the back of a VESA compliant flat-panel display.
5. Using a standard UTP cable with RJ45 terminators on each end,
connect the Cat5 OUT port provided by the Transmitter Unit to the
Cat5 IN port provided by the Extender Unit.
6. Connect the Extender Unit to an available power outlet, using the
adapter provided.
7. OPTIONAL: You can connect two monitors directly to the Extender
Unit. To do so, simply connect the monitors to the MONITOR OUT
ports on the Extender Unit.
8. Repeat step 4 to 7 for each Receiver Unit that will be used in
conjunction with an Extender (up to 4).
9. Situate the Receiver Unit up to 150m (492ft) away from the Extender
Unit, so that it is near the intended display(s) as well as an available
power source.

10. Connect the Receiver Unit to the power source using the power
adapter provided.
11. Using a standard UTP cable with RJ45 terminators on each end,
connect the Cat5 OUT port provided by the Extender Unit to the
Cat5 IN port provided by Receiver Unit.
NOTE: Each Receiver Unit can be connected to two separate displays
simultaneously. To connect two monitors, simply connect a VGA cable
from the second Monitor Out port to a second display.
The following diagram illustrates the connection between Transmitter
and Receiver units, with the addition of an Extender Unit. Please note
that although only one Extender is used in this illustration, up to four
can be used simultaneously.
