Three VGA wall plates. Three unique options. Three AV solutions that can keep your AV systems tidy, organized and connected.
Let’s take a look at our complete line:
Plastic VGA Wall Plate
Fully wired with a straight-through connection for universal VGA compatibility, our line of RoHS-compliant plastic VGA wall plates allow for easy termination of VGA connectors for in-wall connections. The plastic face plate fits into most standard wall mount boxes. Crafted out of white, durable ABS plastic, the kit comes with mounting screws for simple installation and a female-to-female pass-thru coupler.
Plastic VGA with 3.5mm Stereo Audio Wall Plate
Similarly, our VGA wall plates with 3.5mm stereo audio lets you terminate VGA connectors for in-wall connections, but adds a 3.5mm 6-inch pigtail connector for an extra bit of welcome flexibility. This plastic, RoHS-compliant face plate is also designed to fit snugly into standard wall mounts, and its made out of the same tough, sleek ABS plastic.
Professional VGA Aluminum Wall Plates
Our plastic wall plates are tough, attractive, and will do the job every time. But certain commercial environments benefit from something a little bit more physically resilient industrial-ready. A metal wall plate can make a noticeable difference, and our professional VGA aluminum wall plates are some of the best in the industry. Combined with any of our other AV connectivity solutions, these wall plates provide the last link in our end-to-end installation solutions.
Built from clear, anodized aluminum, the sleek plates will provide rugged reliability and professional-grade AV connectivity year after year without breaking or becoming dingy or dour. Each one is custom assembled and engraved, providing the exact match you need for your AV setting — ideal for commercial systems integration, classroom and training settings, conference rooms and boardrooms, churches, music venues, and convention halls.
The VGA aluminum wall plates include:
- Engraved text
- Tough 1/8″ (11 gauge) aluminum
- Double beveled edges (0.0635 at 45 degrees)
- Clear anodized finish
- Vertical grain
- Feed-through connectors
- Matching mounting screws
We’ve got eight different models of VGA aluminum wall plates. And, of course, each one is manufactured right here in America. Contact our VGA distribution solutions for more information.
Here at MilesTek, we love exploring ways to meet our customers’ audio/visual needs. All of our extenders, whether DVI extenders, VGA extenders, HDMI extenders, composite and component extenders, or USB extenders, provide unique audio/visual solutions for our customers, many of which they won’t find anywhere else in the industry.
One thing that is unique about our USB extenders is that their uses extend far beyond the audio and visual. They can be used for any creative scenario involving USB peripherals that are beyond the reach of a normal USB cable, from a keyboard to a mouse to a hard drive to digital audio systems to security and surveillance video. Our USB extenders utilize the affordable empowerment of CAT5E or CAT6 Ethernet cables, similar to all of our extenders.
Much like extension power cables that can be used for powering any out-of-reach object, from a vacuum cleaner to a guitar amp, USB extenders can be used for connecting any out-of-reach USB device. We offer a variety of USB extenders to be used with CAT5E or CAT6 Ethernet cables for any situation where a USB peripheral is distant from a computer (at a much lower price than rigid and expensive USB cables).
How Do The Extenders Work?
With a USB extender, you can use a regular CAT5E or CAT6 Ethernet cable to connect any USB device to a computer, anywhere from 50 feet away to 330 feet away, depending on which extender you choose. All of our USB extenders have built-in buffers and actively regenerate signals to ensure that all of your data comes through crystal clear with full integrity, even over long distances.
For example, if you set up a USB video camera in a different room, 150 feet away from your computer, the video signal will come in perfectly clear due to the quality of our USB extenders. So will the signal from any other type of USB device.
Which Should I Choose?
Each of our USB over CAT5E/6 extenders boast valuable features, but the most significant factors to consider when deciding which USB extender is right for you are (1) how much extension length you want, (2) the number or USB ports you want, and (3) whether you want a plastic case or a wall plate. We offer these styles of USB extenders:

We take close looks at all sorts of products here on the MilesTek blog. But every once in a while, it’s good to take a step back and see how they all fit together.
Almost every single product we offer provides an A/V solution to one need or another for our customers. And for just about every category of A/V need — DVI, VGA, HDMI — we provide a full set of products that cover every aspect of that category.
For example, let’s examine the big picture about DVI:
DVI Cables
Nothing replaces a high-quality, long-lasting, reliable cable, and we’re proud to offer a comprehensive line of DVI cables, including digital dual DVI cables and digital single DVI cables.
DVI Extenders over CAT5E/CAT6
While the DVI cables we sell are the best in the industry, they are limited in how long they can run while maintaining premium quality. An excellent way to extend DVI signals exponentially (at just a fraction of the price) is to run the signals over CAT5E Ethernet cables or CAT6 Ethernet cables. Our line of DVI extenders can do exactly that, and includes DVI over single CAT5E/CAT6 active and passive balun sets and plate sets, as well as DVI equalizer jack-to-jack power inline devices.
DVI Switchers
DVI switchers simply multiply your options. We offer both 2×1 DVI switchers and 4×1 DVI switchers. One display can connect to either two or four sources. In other words, two or four computers can connect to any video display with a DVI port, including projectors, high-def TVs or monitors.
DVI Splitters
DVI splitters are basically the inverse of DVI switchers. Instead of connecting multiple sources to a single display, our DVI splitters do the opposite — say, one computer to two or four monitors. The splitters provide the perfect DVI solution to situations where you have several people watching the same thing (classroom settings, training seminars, etc.).

More distance. More flexibility. Less costs. Full, pristine HD-quality audio and video.
Our new ultimate VGA extenders embody everything that’s empowering about our various lines of CAT5E/CAT6 extenders and other AV solutions. These devices can give your classroom, office training, or conference display setup more flexibility and more savings, without sacrificing premium quality high-def VGA picture and sound. The extenders even include remote capabilities, adding still another bit of welcome flexibility, giving you the ability to conduct meetings, training seminars and sales presentations in ways that best suit your unique needs.
For example, these extenders give you the ability to, say, control a projector from up 1,000 feet away, without needing to rely upon more expensive, more rigid VGA cables.
The extenders can connect just about any VGA/WUXGA video display to sources like computers, switches and distribution amplifiers. A transmitter module provides a pass-thru video port, which is connected to a local monitor that supports stereo and digital audio, half-duplex RS-232 serial and bi directional IR pass-thru control signals.
And, as with all of our extenders that use CAT5E and CAT6 cables, the Ethernet cables are capable of maintaining top-quality signals for much further distances than standard VGA cables (1,000 feet, if you need it), while costing just a fraction of the price.
The ultimate VGA extenders are packed with features, including:
- The ability to control a projector or an HDTV from up to 1,000 feet away
- Support for WUXGA (1900×1200@60Hz) and UXGA (1600×1200@60Hz) resolution
- Support for analog stereo, as well as digital SPDIF-grade audio
- Support for RS-232 serial with bi-directional IR blaster
- Adjustable EQ and gain control for optimal sound
- Built-in mounting flange with locking power connectors
- A transmitter, a receiver and IR emitters
- Universal 100v-240v power adapters

Another week. Another nifty device that increases your HDMI distribution options.
Our HDMI over CAT5E/CAT5 splitter/receiver sets allow you to connect a single HDMI source to multiple HDMI display devices over dual CAT5e/CAT6 Cables. In fact, we offer two different devices, in order to better meet our customers’ diverse needs:
1.HDMI over Dual CAT5 1×4 Splitter and Receivers (Splitter: 12.5”W x 1.125”H x 6.25”D. Receiver: 1.75”W x .875”H x 3.25”D) — One HDMI source. Four display devices. 3D-readiness. Yours for just $740.
2.HDMI over Dual CAT5 1×8 Splitter and Receivers (Splitter: 17.25”W x 2”H x 8”D. Receiver: 1.75”W x .875”H x 3.25”D) — One HDMI source. Eight display devices. 3D readiness. Yours for just $1,400.
You can also add transmitter or receiver IR cable for just $7.95 more.
In other words, one HD cable/satellite box and four TVs throughout a home. Or one Blu-ray Disc player and eight TVs for a sports bar setting. You can imagine all the possibilities.
Perhaps the best feature is the use of dual CAT5e/CAT6 cables. As we often mention, these cables are simply a wonderful way to extend HDMI transmission capabilities at a low cost. Ethernet cables are far less expensive than HDMI cables, and they can maintain high-quality picture and sound at a significantly farther distance.
Here are the tech specs you need to know:
- Allows one HDMI source to be connected to either 4 or 8 HDMI displays devices over dual CAT5e/CAT6 cables

It can feel like you’re constructing some sort of spider web. Each time you buy a new fancy DVD player, video game system or computer, a new string of cords gets added to the tangled mess behind your entertainment center. This birds nest limits your AV system’s flexibility, and makes it difficult to extend and expand it for, say, a classroom or trade show demonstration.
Simplicity is simply a beautiful thing. Our new HDMI RS232 IR over single-CAT6 extender with 3-port fast ethernet sets (despite their long name) make it possible.
With these HDMI distribution devices, you can now combine all your HDTV and networking requirements into just a single piece of cutting edge equipment. Basically, (thanks to the use of CAT6 cables, which boast extraordinary long-distance capabilities), the active extender sets can send an HDMI signal with HDCP up to 330 feet, without losing any of its high-def 1080p 60 Hz picture quality. Its twisted long-distance allows for distribution of IR and RS232 serial audio and video.
Furthermore, the use of CAT6 cables also lowers costs significantly, which gives you the flexibility to build the A/V system you need to meet your company, school, or home entertainment needs.
The extender’s capabilities include:
- Support for all HDMI 1.4a 3D formats
- Remote management of both course device and display remotely
- Built-in three fast Ethernet LAN ports on each module
- 340 MHz bandwidth, as well as extension for up to 330 feet
- A local HDMI bypass port on TX module
- Deep Color Video with EDID pass-thru capability
- DTS-HD & Dolby TrueHD multi-channel digital audio
- Extension of full bandwidth IR and full-duplex RS-232
(Technical note: This extender is NOT a HDMI-over-LAN device.)

Grab some popcorn. Dim the lights. Plop down on your couch. Throw on your 3D glasses and get ready for an unmatched home entertainment experience.
More and more movies are coming out in 3D. For example, 20 3D movies were released in 2009, compared to only eight in 2008. 3D capable screens across the US and Canada jumped up from 1,514 to 3,548 in one year. It’s not just cartoons anymore — action movies, comedies, IMAX films, and concerts are all being released with that extra dimension. And, increasingly, electronics providers are releasing products like 3D-ready HDTVs, making it easy to bring this dazzling technology into your own home.
Imagine the possibilities: Nature shows where your kids find themselves suddenly surrounded by a friendly pack of happy hippos. NFL games where you see the plays unfold from the vantage point of a middle linebacker. A film giving a classroom full of high schoolers an immersion tour of the human heart. An office training session that gives their sales staff in-depth understanding of the highly complicated products they’re preparing to sell. A trade show demonstration where you can take potential customers and clients on a illuminating info tour of your cutting edge product.
We’re not there yet, but 3D-ready TVs that can be set up in homes, offices, schools, and conferences make for a giant next step in the direction of immersive A/V experience. And at MilesTek, we fully expect our A/V connectivity solutions to help bridge the transition to these new sorts of technologies.
For example, our new 3D-ready, IR-controllable HDMI-over-CAT5E/CAT6 extenders simply add 3D readiness to all the same benefits of our other HDMI extenders, including:
- The ability to transmit HDMI signals further. Depending on the extender model, the devices can extend 1080p resolution up to 164 feet over CAT5E cables, and up to 180 feet over CAT6 cables.
- The ability to transmit HDMI signals at a fraction of the price (compared to more expensive HDMI cables).
- Built-in pass-thru IR control for more flexible management.
- A high-speed chip set that supports 3D, 4K x 2
- HDCP compliance
The 3D extenders arrive to you tested for compatibility with all leading HD video brands, as well as whole series 7.1 home theater systems. The devices also come in a wall plate extender version.

At the core, much of what we offer here at MilesTek is all about simplifying connectivity. Technology changes so fast, and there’s so much new, wonderful stuff out there. But you shouldn’t have to replace your entire entertainment center or A/V setup just to make sure it’s all compatible with the latest, greatest standard.
While HDMI is a wonderful technology offering stunning visual clarity, many older analog TVs simply won’t have the necessary inputs needed to watch movies or play games from HDMI sources, like Blu-ray players, HD DVD players, XBox 360s, and PlayStation 3s, and AVCHD camcorders. Our new HDMI-to-component video and stereo audio converters make compatibility easy.
Aptly named, the converters simplify turning data from your HDMI source to component video (Y-Pb-Pr) and stereo audio (R-L). The result is high-def TV and crystal-clear sound on an older analog TV or projector that doesn’t have an HDMI input.
The converters give you the flexibility to create A/V solutions for a diverse range of settings, including:
- HDTV retail and show sites
- HDTV, DVD, and projector factories
- Situations where noise, space, or security is a concern
- Digital entertainment centers
- Data control centers
- Conference room presentations
- Corporate and school training centers
At just $65, it’s a bargain way to make new and old technologies work together. These converters are rare, so call ahead to request one. We’ll get you set up in no time. Check out our full catalog of HDMI converters for more options.
