INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the new CAT5•9500HD series by Gefen, Inc.
The CAT5•9500HD by Gefen allows users the benefi ts of extending DVI, USB 1.1, PS/2,

RS232, and audio 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, for example, or moved to another room because of annoying fan noise.

The CA T5•9500HD series can be used to extend computers with noisy fans, printers, and
hard drives. With the potential to cover the distance of 200 feet, industry standard Category
5e (CA T-5e) cables are used for the extension of all the devices. One can connect additional
CAT5•9500HD 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
