INTRODUCTION

The HDMI CAT5 Extreme extends your HDTV display up to 200 feet (60m) away
from your HDTV source using two CAT-5 cables. It is equipped with HDMI® (high
defi nition multimedia interface) connectors and is capable of supporting DVI (digital
visual interface) equipment when used with a HDMI to DVI Adapter, providing
greater fl exibility and options when integrating several home theater components

How It Works

The HDMI CAT-5 Extender sender unit sits next to your computer, set-top box or
DVD player source. Cables supplied with the HDMI CAT5 Extreme connect your DVI
or HDMI source to the send unit. The HDMI CAT-5 Extender receive unit sits next
to your HDTV display - up to 200 feet (60m) away. The display plugs into the back
of the HDMI CAT-5 Extender receiver unit. Two CAT-5 cables the sender and the
receiver units to each other.
