Why VGA Extender is so important?

Nowadays VGA extenders are frequently used everywhere. During the time of old monochrome CRT     (cathode ray tube) monitors, VGA used to be a dominant part for connecting different computers to display screens. Even in the modern era of HDMI, DVI-D and other digital display ports, VGA extenders are not very uncommon. We still see VGA connectors’ right next to these new digital ports. Because of their ability to adapt higher resolutions and incredible flexibility, VGA ports are found in every computer or a laptop.

 It is true that VGA connectors are not solution to all the display issues, if they were then we probably would not require newer interfaces. Although they have some limitations as their cables are bulky and thick, but still for higher resolution and better display, VGA connectors are always preferred.

VGA extender is a device having receiver and transmitter that amplifies. It converts VGA signals over another type of data cable like (Cat 5e/ Cat 6/ Cat 5/) network cable. The second cable is shielded with a twisted pair (STP) which stops the signals from being interfered by other surrounding devices. There are many benefits for using VGA connectors as the, Cat5e/6 cable used for data transmission is cheaper. Secondly, VGA extender also has a local port which allows administrator to display it to another computer or to remote display. Third, most of the VGA with Cat 5 Extenders act as amplifiers; they transmit the signals to display further away from your computer that is not possible with conventional cables in which data is loosed.

The Cat5 VGA Extender products are considered to be ideal when VGA signals are to be split at source point to give display to multiply monitors. With Cat cables, you do not require any bulky cable. Only VGA cables can save a lot of money, especially when needed for larger applications. If you are not satisfied with your display adapter or willing to organize any event in which multiple display screens are required, the best option is to use a suitable VGA Extender. It will serve your needs more than you require.
