READ THESE NOTES BEFORE IN STALL ING

OR OPERATING THE HDMI CAT-5 EXTREME EXTENDER

• The HDMI CAT-5 Extreme is housed in a metal box for better RF shielding.

• Your CAT-5 cable should not exceed 200 feet.

• If you do not need DDC or HDCP data you can use a single CAT-5 cable for the video
only. The DDC will not be connected. (For further information, see our Terminology
section on page 9.) If HDCP is required, both CAT-5 cables must be used between the
sender and receiver units.

• If the source requires EDID present, you can use the Gefen DVI Detective to provide
EDID information.
