The CV-117 DVI over Single CAT5 Direct Plug-in Extender extends your PC DVI transmission distance up to
30m (100ft) with resolution 1024x768 @60Hz. With CV-117, users can transmit high quality digital video of PC
applications through one cost effective CAT-5/5e LAN cable to the remote monitor or projector, instead of using
short and expensive DVI cables. With embedded EDID inside the extender, your PC will continue to send the
digital video even when the monitor is not connected. The user can then disconnects the monitor, place it in a
remote location and reconnect it without rebooting the operating system.
The CV-117 includes two identical units: transmitting and receiving units. The transmitting unit is connected
to your PC DVI output and the receiving unit is connected to the monitor or projector. While successfully
connected, the two LED lights on each RJ-45 connector will blink. The transmission distance between the
transmitting and receiving units can be up to 30m (100ft) under XGA (1024x768@60Hz) or 15m (50ft) under
UXGA (1600x1200@60Hz). With compact size and requiring no power, CV-117 is the most cost effective choice
for bringing your impressive digital video to the remote display.

metal RJ-45 connectors is recommended.
