System Introduction

Thank you for choosing Rose Electronics’CrystalView Exact extender. The CrystalView Exact extends

Ultra HD DisplayPort video and USB 3.1, 2.0 and 1.1 up to 330 feet (100 meters) over a single CAT6a/7 cable.

Four USB devices can be directly connected to the remote Receiver, including up to three self-powered USB

hubs for additional device support.

Pass-through connectors are also provided for Ethernet 100/1000 Mbps networks, allowing network enabled

devices at the remote Receiver to be connected to a network at the Transmitter. The RS-232 pass-through

channel adds to the extender’s versatility, supporting remotely connected RS-232 devices and control

interfaces.

The CrystalView Exact system consists of a Transmitter, a Receiver, and up to 330 feet (100 meters) of

industry standard CAT6a/7 cable. The Transmitter connects to a DisplayPort video source and its USB host.

For USB 3.1 SuperSpeed support (up to 5Gbps), the CrystalView Exact Transmitter should be connected

directly to a USB 3.1 Gen 1/2 host.

The instructions in this manual assume a general knowledge of computer installation procedures, familiarity

with cabling requirements, and some understanding of USB device operation.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

CrystalView Exact Extender Manual

Transmitter Unit

The Transmitter is connected to the host device using the supplied DisplayPort and USB 3.1 Gen 1 cables.

Power for the Transmitter is provided by the included 24V DC 1A power adapter. Power and status indicators

are conveniently located on the front panel for user reference. The EDID of the Receiver’s DisplayPort

monitor is copied to the Transmitter and remains until a different display is connected to the Receiver, or until

is power cycled to the Transmitter.

INSTALLATION

CrystalView Exact Extender Manual

Installation Considerations

Cabling Requirements

The CrystalView Exact extender requires the use of at least Category 6a cabling in order to reach 330 feet

(100m) of extension distance. No more than 33 feet (10m) of patch cable should be used. The remaining

295 feet (90m) should be solid core CAT6a or CAT7 premise cabling. When planning an installation, first

determine the path of the link cable and whether shielded or foiled cable are appropriate. Unshielded (UTP)

cable can be used if the cable run meets the following requirements:

▪The cable is not bundled with other cables

▪The cable is run loosely with other CATx cables

▪The cable is not placed close to sources of interference, such as power lines and radios

▪The cable is not looped or coiled

If any of these requirements cannot be guaranteed, shielded (STP) or foiled (FTP) cabling should be used.

When terminating cables, ensure the matching RJ45 connector is used for the cable type. For example, if

CAT6a cable is used, CAT6a compatible RJ45 connectors must be used. Otherwise, the benefits of using

higher grade cabling may not be realized. When installing, ensure the cable is installed away from, or isolated

from potential sources of interference such as electrical power wiring, fluorescent lighting and radio or

walkie-talkie signals.
