• CAT-5e cables should not exceed 198 feet (60 meters) and CAT-6 cables should not

exceed 230 feet (70 meters).

• Shielded (STP) CAT-5e or CAT-6 is recommended. However, unshielded (UTP)
CAT-5 or CAT-6 is acceptable, depending on cable quality, but is not the top choice.
Care should always be given to keep these cables away from power lines and other
electromagnetic interference sources.

• This product is Ultra HD 4K x 2K compliant. 4K x 2K resolutions can be extended up

to 130 feet (40 meters) over a CAT-5e or CAT-6 cable.

• POL (Power Over Line) technology from Gefen sends power to the Receiver unit over
the same CAT-5e / CAT-6 cable that is used for extending the HDMI signal.

• HDBaseT® technology allows HDMI, IR (Bi-directional), and power to be sent over
one CAT-5e / CAT-6 cable.

NOTE: Shielded cable has an advantage by providing immunity
to Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) from cell phones and A/C

motors.
