Thank you for purchasing the Belkin OmniView CAT5 Extender! The CAT5
Extender allows users to control their computer or KVM switch from up to
330 feet away. It is perfect for isolated server rooms, large server farms,
secure systems, or test benches where the computer may be inaccessible to
the user.

Featuring powered circuits to cleanly boost signals up to 330 feet away, the
Belkin CAT5 Extender preserves VGA signals up to resolutions of
1280x1024@75Hz with unmatched clarity. Other CAT5 Extenders are blurry.
Plus, with local and remote console ports, you can take control from near or
far. A built-in, 3-foot, all-in-one PS/2 KVM cable for connecting the CAT5
Extender to the PC or KVM switch is also included.

For best results, we recommend using a solid, snagless CAT5 cable, such as
Belkin A3L791-XXX-S (where “XXX” is the length in feet). Contact your
Belkin sales representative for more information. No other manufacturer
offers a more complete set of KVM accessories!
