A/V A cheap place to get VGA over Cat5 extenders ?

Anyone know of a good place to get this ?

ive tried CPC farnell and they have what i want but refuse to give the company i work for a credit account of more than £100.

to put this in to perspective we have accounts that are £10,000-100,000 on credit lol

anyway im struggling to find anywhere else that has this:

http://cpc.farnell.com/_/50-10255/vga-cat5-balun-monitor-side/dp/AV18372

costing around £55-60

everything else ive found is stupidly expensive i.e. over £100 for the same bloody thing.

 

I've seen these in maplin before but I don't know how good they are or how maplin deal with companies bulk buying items or the credit accounts.

 

yeah noticed them, max res is rubbish though 1024x768 puurrlease you cant cant even buy monitors with that as a native res anymore.

ideally i need something with 1280x1024 +

 

You could try Keene http://www.keene.co.uk - I always get this kind of stuff from them - they do have bulk discounts but not sure how they deal with company credit.

 

Would these do ?

sorry bumsrush but no chance of buying from ebay not realiable enough.

+ the adapters are rubbish 33m over cat5 thats only 13m more than a typical max length of VGA before quality drops too much.

suppose i should have stated minimunm 50m really as the ones from CPC wil do that.

just to inform those out of the loop CPC have thrown some credit my way and have dealt with this matter extremely quickly
