INTRODUCTION
About
The DXE-CAT-S2 is part of the growing Digital Xtreme Series. This product is different than the
typical CAT extender found on the market today as it not only breaks the price barrier but the
feature and usability aspects as well. All connectors are on one side to make wiring cleaner and
rack mounting easier. Having the ability to power the device with the choice of transmit or receive
reduces the installation time and keeps things neat. An industry first is Aurora’s exclusive FlexPowerTM Power-Over-Ethernet circuit (Patents Pending), which allows both the transmitter and
receiver to be powered without the need of any wall supplies.
Being able to go the distance is important too, and HDBaseT technology helps achieve that. With
a single CAT cable, the DXE-CAT can go up to 328ft 1080p 60Hz 48bit color depth, 500ft 1080p
60Hz 24bit (CAT 6), or 600ft 1080p 60Hz 24bit (CAT 6A Shielded) depending on model and cable.
In addition, the RS-232, IR, & LAN can be sent over the same cable bi-directionally.
