Thank you for purchasing the new ex•tend•it CAT5•1500 series.
The ex•tend•it CAT5•1500 allows users the benefi ts of extending VGA, USB, and audio

signals beyond the desktop. In a growing number of applications, broadcast stations and
production facilities there is a need to control a computer remotely . The keyboard, mouse,
and video monitor are relocated to the remote side. A CPU may need to be shared between
several users or moved to another room because of annoying fan noise.

The CAT5•1500 can be used to extend computers with printers, hard drives, scanners,
cameras, keyboards, mouse, and any other USB-type devices. The CAT5•1500 has the
potential to extend the distance of 330 feet over industry standard Category 5 (CAT-5)
cable. One can connect multiple CA T5•1500 units to the same computer, allowing access
to the same computer from different locations up to 330 feet apart.

In its most basic application, the CA T5•1500S sender unit resides next to the computer. With
the supplied VGA, USB, and audio cables, they connect the computer to the CA T5•1500S
sender unit.

The CAT5•1500R receiver unit and USB peripherals are placed next to the mon i­ tor. The monitor and USB devices are connected to the CAT5•1500R in the
same way they are con nect ed to the back of the com put er (PC or Macintosh).

Industry standard Category 5 (CAT-5) cables are used to link CAT5•1500S send er and
CA T5•1500R receiver units together. The VGA signals are ex tend ed by one CAT-5 cable.
While USB and audio signals are extended with a second CAT5-cable.
