• The audio version uses 3.5mm sockets for input and outputs
• RJ45 sockets for the CAT5 cable
• Powered by ac adaptors
• No operating system required
• Dimensions (HxWxD): 20x104x70mm

it says 150m but thr run is only 35m.
i have a plasma at one end and a projector the other if i run the long way to the projector(optoma es522) the pic has noise in it but not as bad as if i run the long way to the new samsung plasma 42"

Hi,

Do they have adjustments for gain and EQ?

The maximum resolution looks a bit suspect as well.

Here is our active version VGA Extender 300m to compare

does yours have audio as well?
the picture looks full of noise from the present one is that likely to be resolution or interference?

Hi,

It could be quite a few things as it shard to picture over the net, would it be possible to upload picture showing this?

Best Regards

Sorry Andy, I had to remove the image links from your post as it is against forum rules (and good internet practice) to link to an image on another persons website.

Net effect is you cause them to expend bandwidth serving the image without getting traffic to their site.
