The Gefen CAT5-5600HD

Extend two DVI sources and USB 2.0 peripherals from any computer or KVM
device with the Gefen CAT5-5600HD Professional Series KVM extender. Exten­sion is up to 200 feet (60 meters) using three (3) CAT-6a cables.

The Receiver Unit allows the connection of up to two DVI monitors and up to four
USB devices, expanding your workspace and increasing productivity in a post­production and editing environment.

USB 2.0 data rates up to 480 Mbps are supported in addition to backward-com­patibility with USB 1.1.

How It Works

Place the CAT5-5600HD Sender Unit next to the source. Use the included DVI
cables to connect the DVI source(s) to the Sender Unit. Use the supplied USB
cable to connect the Sender Unit to the USB host (source) device. Connect the
Receiver Unit to the DVI displays using DVI cables. Connect the USB devices
to the Receiver Unit. Connect the Sender Unit to the Receiver Unit using three
CAT-6 cables up to 200 feet. Connect the included locking power supplies to the
Sender and Receiver Units, then connect both power cables to available electri­cal outlets.
