The VGA Balun II does not require shielded Cat 5 twisted pair; it can be used with Cat 5 (or better) unshielded twisted pair. The VGA Balun II eliminates costly and bulky VGA cable, allowing a VGA source to be connected to a VGA monitor via one (1) 4-pair Cat 5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. 
Used with pairs, the VGA Balun II allows VGA video to be transmitted up to 350ft (107m) via Cat 5 at 800 x 600 resolution; 250 ft. (76m)at 1024x768 (60MHz); 200 ft. (61m) at 1280x1024 (100MHz).

The product features a "reset" button that may be required when using certain displays. More information may be found in the product Installation Guide.
