INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the new ex•tend•it CAT5•7500HD series by Gefen, Inc.
The ex•tend•it CA T5•7500HD by Gefen allows users the benefi ts of extending USB, audio

in, audio out, PS/2, RS232, and video signals beyond the desktop. In a growing number of
applications, broadcast stations and production facilities there is a need to locate a computer
remotely, from the keyboard, mouse, and video monitor. A CPU may need to be shared
between several users or moved to another room because of annoying fan noise.

The CA T5•7500HD series can be used to extend computers with noisy fans, printers, hard
drives, scanners, cameras, keyboards, mouse, and any other USB-type peripherals. The
CAT5•7500HD has the potential to cover the distance of 200 feet over industry standard
Category 5 (CAT-5) cables. One can connect additional CAT5•7500HD series to the
same computer, allowing access to the same computer from other locations up to 200
feet apart.

Lengths and Distances Supported:

Up to 200 Feet....................................................................................1280x1024 @ 60Hz

Up to 150 Feet....................................................................................1920x1200 @ 60Hz
