What To Do
Simply use the included VGA cable to attach one balun to the rear of the projector. Connect the second balun to the your PC or Video output. Route your CAT5e cable between the baluns and plug it in. It is that simple!
This installation will provide substantial cost savings when compared to 100' of VGA cable, with smaller size that will make running the cable much easier.

The problem
You have a server in a equipment closet that needs to be
accessed by an operator in another room. They need keyboard and
mouse access as well as a local video display. You considered remote

another PC where that person is located
