The Gefen DVI over one CAT6 Extender
The Gefen DVI over one CAT6 Extender will send a 1920x1200@60Hz DVI-D
signal over a single CAT-6a cable to distances of up to 200 feet (60m). Extension
of high resolution computer video can now be simplified with the use of only a
single CAT-6a cable. Previous solutions used 2 cables to accomplish this.
The DVI over one CAT6 extender’s pure digital transmission method insures
100% signal integrity over this single cable extension solution.
How It Works
The Gefen DVI over one CAT6 Extender system consists of two devices, a
sender and a receiver. The single-link DVI source (set-top box, DVD player, or
computer video card output) connects to the sender unit with the supplied 6-foot
DVI cable. The receiver unit connects to a DVI-compliant display. One CAT-
6a cable links the sender and receiver together at distances of up to 200 feet.
Power is applied to both the sender and receiver with the included 5V DC power
supplies. A perfect image is now displayed on the remote DVI display.
INTRODUCTION
READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR
OPERATING THE DVI OVER ONE CAT6 EXTENDER
• The DVI over one CAT6 Extender was designed for use with high quality
CAT-6a (augmented) cabling. This unit will either not perform to specification
or refuse to operate completely if cabling other than CAT-6a is used.
• When field terminating CAT-6a cabling please adhere to the TIA/EIA-568-B
specification shown on page 12 for your convenience.
• The DVI over one CAT6 has a maximum distance rating based on the
bandwidth (i.e. resolution and color) of the video being transmitted. When
used with high quality CAT-6a cabling, you may expect a maximum
extension range of 200 feet (60 meters) at 1920x1200 or 1080p resolution at
up to a 60Hz refresh rate. Lower quality cabling or older standards such as
CAT5 cables will shorten the maximum achievable extension distance.
• For CAT5e cables, the maximum distance is 150ft at 1080p or 1920x1200.
• This product features HDCP pass-through.
