INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the new ex•tend•it CAT5•7000 series by Gefen, Inc.

The ex•tend•it CAT5•7000 by Gefen allows users the beneﬁts of extending USB, audio in,

audio out, PS/2, RS232, and video signals beyond the desktop. In a growing number of

applications,broadcaststationsandproductionfacilitiesthereisaneedtolocateacomputer

remotely, from the keyboard, mouse, and video monitor. A CPU may need to be shared

between several users or moved to another room because of annoying fan noise.

The CAT5•7000 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•7000 has the potential to cover the distance of 330 feet over industry standard

Category 5 (CAT-5) cables. One can connect additional CAT5•7000 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•7000 SYSTEM

• Industry standard Category-5 (CAT-5) cables are used to operate CAT5•7000 systems.

• One CAT-5 cable extends video 1 and USB. A second CAT-5 ca-

ble extends video 2. A third CAT-5 cable is used to extend PS/2 and

RS232. A forth CAT5 cable is used to extend audio in and audio out.

• 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 re-

motely, and those divided between local and remote locations. The vid-

eo monitors will not initialize correctly at start-up if they are different types.

• The CAT5•7000 units are housed in a metal box for better RF shielding.

Supplied with the system, VGA cables, PS/2 keyboard, PS/2 mouse, audio, and USB

cables, they connect the computer to the CAT5•7000S sender unit.

The CAT5•7000R receiver unit is placed next to the monitors, keyboard, mouse, and

USB peripherals at the remote location. The monitor and keyboard are connected to the

CAT5•7000R, 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•7500S sender and

CAT5•7500Rreceiver units together. Monitor1and USB areextendedby oneCAT-5cable,

monitor 2 is extended with a second CAT5 cable. PS/2 and RS232 are extended with a

third CAT-5 cable and audio with a fourth CAT-5 cable.
