The Gefen CAT5•1000

The CAT5-1000 requires just one CAT5 cable to transmit video, audio and control
signals to the remote workstation. It essentially bundles the signals together
before, during and after transmission so that cabling is reduced while reliable
signal transmission is achieved. This is the ideal solution for anyone who desires
an effective method to extend their workstation anywhere within 330-feet from the
computer

The CAT5-1000 and the CAT5-1500 work with all CRT and LCD computer
monitors as well as USB-equipped keyboards and mice (Mac or PC).

How It Works

Both the CAT5-1000 and the CAT5-1500 utilize a sender and receiver
methodology to connect the extended workstation to the computer. Simply
connect the sender unit to your computer using the cables provided. Then
connect the receiver unit to the computer?s keyboard, monitor and mouse at the
remote location. CAT5 cable(s), sold separately, then connect the sender unit to
the receiver unit. Both the sender and the receiver units must be connected to
a power supply. When fully powered and operational, the units effi ciently extend
video, audio and control signals.

INTRODUCTION

READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR

OPERATING THE CAT5•1000

The CAT5•1000 will extend analog VGA video, analog 2 channel stereo •
audio, and USB up to 330 feet.

Supports resolutions up to 1920 x 1200.•
USB 1.1 compliant.•
Audio extension is designed for line-out audio sources only. Amplifi ed audio •

is not supported and may damage the CAT5•1000.
Single CAT-5 extension should be terminated according to the TIA/EIA-•

568-B specifi cation. Please see page ## for details.
The use of patch panels, couplers, and splices are not recommended as •

these may degrade the signal and produce unexpected results.
Display information (EDID) is not transmitted from the display back to the •

source. Standard VESA resolutions should pass without issue, but wide
screen resolutions and non-standard VESA resolutions may not be listed for
selection by the source. In this case, the source must either be able to force
the output of the desired resolution or a EDID storage device (part# EXT­DVI-EDIDN) must be used to record the displays information. This device
must be placed before the CAT5•1000 sender unit and must be the fi rst
device after the computer in the extension chain.
