3. Use the included USB cable to connect the USB host device to the USB In port
on the Sender unit.
4. Connect up to two USB devices (keyboard, mouse, external drive, etc) to the
USB Out ports on the Receiver unit.
5. Connect two CAT-7 cables between the Sender and Receiver units. Each connector
on the Sender and Receiver unit is identied as Link 1, Link 2, and USB Link.
When connecting the CAT-7 cables, make sure that each CAT-7 cable on the Sender
unit is connected to the corresponding jacks on Receiver unit (e.g. Link 1 → Link 1,
Link 2 → Link 2).
6. Connect a CAT-7 cable between the USB Link jack on the Sender and Receiver unit.
7. Connect the included 5V DC locking power supplies to the Sender and Receiver unit.
Do not overtighten the locking connectors.
8. Connect the AC power cords from each power supply to available electrical outlets.
NOTE: The DisplayPort KVM Extender over CAT-7 will support
resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 (WUXGA) and 1080p Full HD if a
single CAT-7 cable is used. Two CAT-7 cables must be used to
support resolutions up to 2560 x 1600.
If only a single CAT-7 cable will be used, the CAT-7 cable must be
connected between the Link 1 connectors on both the Sender and
Receiver unit.

Hot-Plug Detect (HPD)
The DisplayPort KVM Extender over CAT-7 has an HPD button on the front of the Receiver
unit. Pressing this button will cycle the HPD (Hot-Plug Detect) line on the display (sink)
device. This HPD button provides the same effect as disconnecting then reconnecting the
DisplayPort cable from the Receiver unit. Cycling the HPD line will cause the Receiver unit
to re-read the EDID of the display and send it back to the DisplayPort source.

Surface-Mounting Instructions
The Gefen DisplayPort KVM Extender over CAT-7 can be mounted on any horizontal or
vertical at surface (e.g. wall or inside / outside a cabinet with wood / drywall screws)
as shown in the diagram above. There should be an inch or two of clearance between
the edges of the unit and any walls or vertical surfaces to allow for enough clearance for
connection and disconnection of the DisplayPort cable.
For installation on a drywall surface, use a #6 drywall screw. When installing, it is
recommended to use the center hole on a stud.
