The Gefen CAT5-5600HD

Extend two DVI sources and USB 2.0 peripherals from any computer or KVM

device with the Gefen CAT5-5600HD Professional Series KVM extender. Exten-

sion is up to 200 feet (60 meters) using three (3) CAT-6a cables.

The Receiver Unit allows the connection of up to two DVI monitors and up to four

USB devices, expanding your workspace and increasing productivity in a post-

production and editing environment.

USB 2.0 data rates up to 480 Mbps are supported in addition to backward-com-

patibility with USB 1.1.

How It Works

Place the CAT5-5600HD Sender Unit next to the source. Use the included DVI

cables to connect the DVI source(s) to the Sender Unit. Use the supplied USB

cable to connect the Sender Unit to the USB host (source) device. Connect the

Receiver Unit to the DVI displays using DVI cables. Connect the USB devices

to the Receiver Unit. Connect the Sender Unit to the Receiver Unit using three

CAT-6 cables up to 200 feet. Connect the included locking power supplies to the

Sender and Receiver Units, then connect both power cables to available electri-

cal outlets.
