How the VGA CAT5 Distribution Amplifier works:

Simply connect your VGA video source to the 1:8 VGA CAT5 Distribution Amplifier's input using the supplied VGA cable. Then connect up to eight VGA displays to the VGA CAT5 receivers. Power the 1:8 VGA CAT5 Distribution Amplifier and the receivers will get power from the CAT5. Note: VGA output 1 is the primary connection and is used for the main display. VGA output 2 through 8 follow the main display. The VGA displays attached to the 1:8 VGA CAT5 Distribution Amplifier MUST have the same native resolution in order to get a picture.

The 1x8 VGA CAT5 Distribution Amplifier will also extend a component signal or composite video w/ L+R analog audio. For this to work, you will need a VGA to Component Cables and a VGA Female to Female Adapter.
