READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING

OR OPERATING THE HDMI CAT-5 EXTREME EXTENDER

• The HDMI CAT-5 Extreme is housed in a metal box for better RF shielding.

• Your CAT-5 cable should not exceed 200 feet.

• If you do not need DDC or HDCP data you can use a single CAT-5 cable for the video

only. The DDC will not be connected. (For further information, see our Terminology

section on page 9.) If HDCP is required, both CAT-5 cables must be used between the

sender and receiver units.

• If the source requires EDID present, you can use the Gefen DVI Detective to provide

EDID information.

HOW TO CONNECT THE HDMI CAT-5 EXTREME

SERVICE SWITCH USAGE GUIDE

The Senders and Receivers of the Gefen CAT5 Extreme products both contain a set of

service switches (also called dip switches) located underneath each unit. Peeling back

the silver sticker will reveal the service switch bay. These service switches are used

to boost and equalize the signal to best match the conditions in your setup. (*Note:

Adjustments should be done with sources and display on. Switches 3 and 4 are not

used.)

Maximum EQ ON ON

Adjustment Guidelines:

1) Strong boost should not be used on stranded cables. Strong boosting will cause

pixels or no picture on these cables.

2) Using the wrong settings will not damage the units; it will either produce no

image or a noisy image.

3) To elminate the possibility of cross talk and interference, cables must be

terminated with 568B scheduling. (See page 6 for details)
