Techie Question: Using a DVI to VGA convertor with a VGA CAT5E or CAT6 extenders, does this work?
For those techies out there or for someone who has already tried this, does a DVI to VGA converter work with a VGA extender.
So as an example, we have a digital signage player or PC that has a DVI port ONLY. We plug a DVI to VGA extender, so the output is VGA. We then use a pair of VGA to CAT5E or CAT6 extenders and connect the other end to the monitor that is VGA. Does this work?
We would like to hear other techies out there what the result would be or whether this is technically possible.

We have done this method hundreds of times, just ensure you use a DVI-a adaptor not DVI-d.

Thanks for your response bruce. For those of you who don’t know the difference between DVI-A and DVI-D, one is basically Analogue DVI-A and the other Digital DVI-D.
