OPERATION NOTES

READ THESE NOTES BEFORE IN STALL ING

OR OPERATING THE CAT5•1500HD SYSTEM

* The CAT5•1500HD units are housed in a metal box for better RF shielding.

* In order to extend the full 50 meters, a high quality CAT5e or CAT6 cable is needed.
* CAT6 cable is suitable for high resolution at 50 meters.
* If using a ADC-DVI Adapter, the "5V to cable" jumper by the input connector on the

sender unit needs to be enabled.

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the new CAT5•1500HD series by Gefen, Inc.
The CA T5•1500HD by Gefen allows users the benefi ts of extending a DVI display and USB

beyond the desktop. In a growing number of applications, broadcast stations and produc­tion facilities need to locate a computer remotely from the keyboard, mouse, and video
monitor. A CPU may need to be shared between several users, for example, or moved to
another room because of annoying fan noise.

The CA T5•1500HD series can be used to extend computers with noisy fans, printers, hard
drives, scanners, cameras, keyboards, mouse, and other USB devices. With the potential
to cover the distance of 150 feet, industry standard Category 5 (CAT-5) cables are used
for the extension of all the devices.
