The GefenToolBox HDKVM Extra Long Range Extender

The HDKVM Extra Long Range Extender extends any Hi-Def souce plus
Ethernet, and USB to an HDTV display or other digital signage
application over a distance up to 330 feet (100 meters) using two CAT-5 cables.

USB 2.0 data rates up to 480 Mbps are supported in addition to backward-com­patibility with USB 1.1. The Receiver Unit allows the connections of up to two (2)
USB devices, providing access to printers, scanners, cameras, external storage
media, digital signage, and automated control systems.

This product uses Gefen ELR (Extra Long Range) technology, supporting
HDBaseT Specifi cations, allowing multiple signals to travel along the same
CAT-5 cable. A second CAT-5 cable is used for USB extension.

How It Works

Place the Sender Unit next to the Hi-Def source. Use the included HDMI cable
to connect the Hi-Def source to the Sender Unit. Use the supplied USB cable to
connect the USB host (source) device to the USB port on the Sender Unit. Con­nect the Receiver Unit to the HDTV display monitor or digital signage display with
an HDMI cable. Connect the USB devices to the Receiver Unit. Use two CAT-5
cables, up to 330 feet (100 meters), to connect the Sender Unit to the
Receiver Unit. Connect the included locking power supplies to the Sender Unit
and Receiver Unit, and then connect both power cords to available electrical
outlets.
