About this manual

The VE-120 Video Extender System lets you place a computer and its monitor up to 130 m (430 ft) apart by using a local unit (VE-120L) and a remote unit (VE-120R) linked with Category 5 twisted‑pair Ethernet cable. It is suited for factory, construction, education, and business environments where the display must be positioned away from the computer.

Installation is straightforward: connect the VGA cable from the PC to the local unit, attach the monitor to each unit, power both units with the supplied 9 V AC adapters, and run a Category 5 cable between the local and remote I/O ports. The range switch on the local unit selects long‑ or short‑distance mode. The manual also provides troubleshooting steps, cable‑length tables, and full technical specifications.
