Product Information

Full details

The Kenable 001305 is a powered VGA extender designed for users needing to duplicate or extend a single SVGA signal to multiple displays over a considerable distance. Its key benefit is the ability to send a signal to two local monitors and two remote monitors up to 150 meters away using standard CAT5, CAT5E, or CAT6 cables. A potential caveat is that the maximum resolution of 1024 x 768 may be reduced at longer distances or with higher resolutions.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I extend a DVI or HDMI signal with this device?

No, this extender is specifically designed for VGA (SVGA) signals only. You would need a different type of converter or extender for DVI or HDMI.

Does the extender transmit audio?

No, this particular model (001305) only transmits video signals. A separate version with audio broadcasting is available.

What is the maximum resolution supported at 150 meters?

The maximum supported resolution is 1024 x 768 pixels. This resolution is generally achievable at 150 meters, but performance can be affected by cable quality and potential interference.

Do I need to install any drivers?

No, this is a hardware-based extender and does not require any software drivers to be installed on the connected computer.

How many CAT5 cables do I need?

You need one CAT5, CAT5E, or CAT6 cable to connect the local unit to the remote unit for the video signal transmission.

Can I use the extender with a CAT7 cable?

While CAT7 cables are backward compatible with CAT5e/6 standards, it's best to use CAT5, CAT5E, or CAT6 cables as specified for guaranteed performance.

What do the LED indicators mean?

Both the local and remote units have a green 'Power' LED indicating the unit is receiving power, and a yellow 'Active' LED indicating an active video signal is being received or transmitted.

Troubleshooting

No signal on any monitor

Verify that both the local and remote units are powered on and that the power adapters are securely connected. Check all VGA and CAT5 cable connections for a firm fit. Ensure the source device is powered on and outputting a signal.

Flickering or distorted image on local monitors

Check the VGA cables connecting the local unit to the monitors. Try using shorter, higher-quality VGA cables. Ensure the source device's resolution is set to 1024 x 768 or lower.

Flickering or distorted image on remote monitors

Adjust the 4-position gain control slide switch on the remote unit. Ensure the CAT5 cable is not damaged and is within the specified length (150m). Try a different CAT5/5E/6 cable. Ensure the remote unit is powered.

Only local monitors work, remote monitors do not

Confirm that the CAT5 cable is securely connected between the local and remote units. Check that the remote unit is powered on and its active LED indicator is lit. Test the CAT5 cable with another device if possible.
