Unlike normal VGA splitters or distribution amplifiers, the Gefen 1x8 VGA CAT5 Distribution Amplifier has one VGA input and eight RJ45 output
connectors. The 1x8 VGA CAT5 Distribution Amplifier's RJ45 connectors are connected to up to eight
VGA CAT5 Distribution Amplifier receivers using CAT5 cable. The receivers can be placed up to 100 metres away from the transmitter.
