The EVT-SBP-GQ is for connecting a PC, digital video recorder, or video splitter to a VGA monitor at distances of up to 450 feet (137m) away. The connection is done via low-cost Cat 5 or Cat 5e shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable with shielded RJ-45 connectors. This allows the monitors to be easily installed on a security professional's desk while the video devices are locked securely in a separate room.
