INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the new ex•tend•it CAT5•1000 series.

The ex•tend•it CAT5•1000 allows users the bene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•1000 can be used to extend computers with printers, hard drives, scanners,
cameras, keyboards, mouse, and any other USB-type devices. The CAT5•1000 has the
potential to extend the distance of 330 feet over industry standard Category 5 (CAT-5)
cable. One can connect multiple CAT5•1000 units to the same computer, allowing access
to the same computer from different locations up to 330 feet apart.

HOW IT WORKS

In its most basic application, the CAT5•1000S sender unit resides next to the computer. With
the supplied VGA, USB, and audio cables, they connect the computer to the CAT5•1000S
sender unit.

The CAT5•1000R receiver unit and USB peripherals are placed next to the mon­itor. The monitor an d USB devices are conne cted to the CAT5•1000R in the
same way they are connected to the back of the computer (PC or Macintosh).

Industry standard Category 5 (CAT-5) cables are used to link CAT5•1000S sender and
CAT5•1000R receiver units together. The VGA, USB, and audio signals are extended by
one CAT-5 cable.

OPERATION NOTES

READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING

OR OPERATING THE CAT5•1000 SYSTEM

* Industry standard Category-5 (CAT-5) cables are used to link the CAT5•1000 sender

and receiver boxes together.

* When two monitors are used in the local and remote locations, the video monitors must
be a multi-resolution type. This pertains to monitors placed remotely, and those divided
between local and remote locations. The video monitors will not initialize correctly at start­up if they are different types.

* The CAT5•1000 units are housed in a metal box for better RF shielding.
