INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the new ex•tend•it CAT5•5000 series by Gefen, Inc.

The ex•tend•it CAT5•5000 by Gefen allows users the beneﬁts of extending USB, audio,

and video signals beyond the desktop. In a growing number of applications, broadcast

stations and production facilities there is a need to control a computer remotely. The

keyboard, mouse, and video monitor are relocated to the remote side. A CPU may need

to be shared between several users or moved to another room because of annoying fan

noise.

The CAT5•5000 series can be used to extend computers with noisy fans, printers, hard

drives, scanners, cameras, keyboards, mouse, and any other USB-type peripherals.

The CAT5•5000 has the potential to cover the distance of 330 feet over industry

standard Category 5 (CAT-5) cables. One can connect additional CAT5•5000 series to

the same computer, allowing access to the same computer from other locations up to

330 feet apart.

READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING

OR OPERATING THE CAT5•5000 SYSTEM

* Industry standard Category-5 (CAT-5) cables are used to operate CAT5•5000 system.

Linking the CAT5•5000 sender and receiver units together requires one CAT-5 cable to

extend the ﬁrst monitor, USB and audio signals. A second CAT-5 cable is required to

extend the second monitor signal.

* When two monitors are used in the local and remote locations, the video monitors

must be a multi-resolution type. This pertains to monitors placed remotely, and those di-

vided between local and remote locations. The video monitors will not initialize correctly

at start-up if they are different types.

* The CAT5•5000 units are housed in a metal box for better RF shielding.

In its most basic application, the CAT5•5000S sender unit resides next to the computer.

Supplied with the system, VGA, audio, and USB cables, they connect the computer to the

CAT5•5000S sender unit.

The CAT5•5000R receiver unit is placed next to the monitors and USB device, at the re-

mote location. The monitors and USB devices are connected to the CAT5•5000R similar

to the way they are connected to the back of the computer (PC or Macintosh).

Industry standard Category 5 (CAT-5) cables are used to link CAT5•5000S sender and

CAT5•5000Rreceiverunitstogether.Theﬁrstmonitor,USB,and audio signals are extended

by one CAT-5 cable, while the second monitor is extended by the second CAT-5 cable.
