READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING
OR OPERATING THE CAT5•5000HD SYSTEM
* The CAT5•5000HD units are housed in a metal box for better RF shielding.
* In order to extend the full 50 meters you need a high quality CAT5e cable.
* CAT6 cable is suitable for high resolutions at 50 meters.
* If using a ADC-DVI Adapter, the "5V to cable" jumper by the input connector on the
sender unit needs to be enabled.
OPERATION NOTES
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the new ex•tend•it CAT5•5000HD series by Gefen, Inc.
The ex•tend•it CAT5•5000HD by Gefen allows users the benefits of extending dual DVI
displays and USB beyond the desktop. In a growing number of applications, broadcast
stations and production facilities need to locate a computer remotely from the keyboard,
mouse, and video monitor. A CPU may need to be shared between several users, for ex-
ample, or moved to another room because of annoying fan noise.
The CAT5•5000HD series can be used to extend computers with noisy fans, printers, hard
drives, scanners, cameras, keyboards, mouse, and any other USB. With the potential to
cover the distance of 150 feet, industry standard Category 5 (CAT-5) cables are used for
the extension of all the devices.
