Product Information

Full details

The Lindy 300m Cat.6 2 Port VGA Receiver is designed for IT professionals and system integrators who need to distribute analogue VGA video signals over long distances to multiple displays. Its key benefit is extending VGA up to 300 meters using standard Cat.5e/6 network cables, supporting high-definition resolutions. A minor caveat is its reliance on a compatible transmitter unit to function. This receiver unit extracts and distributes VGA video and stereo audio, featuring adjustable controls for optimal picture quality and a robust metal housing for durability.

Troubleshooting

No video signal on displays

Verify that the compatible transmitter is powered on and connected. Ensure the VGA source is outputting a signal. Check all VGA and network cable connections for a secure fit. Confirm the network cable is Cat.5e or Cat.6 and within the 300m range. Test with a different network cable.

Poor or distorted video quality (flickering, color issues)

Adjust the EQ and Gain controls on the receiver. Ensure the network cable is not damaged and is of good quality. Try a shorter cable length to test. Ensure the source resolution is supported (1920x1080 or lower).

No audio output

Confirm that audio is being transmitted from the source. Ensure speakers or audio system are connected to the 3.5mm jack on the receiver and are powered on. Check the volume levels on the connected audio device.

Device not powering on (no LED indicators)

Check that the power adapter is securely connected to both the receiver and the power outlet. Verify that the correct 12V DC power adapter is being used. Try a different power outlet.

Only one VGA output works

Ensure both VGA cables are securely connected to the receiver's output ports and the displays. Test each display and cable individually by connecting it to the first VGA output port to isolate the issue.
