CAT5 Extender extends your PC DVI transmission distance up to 60m (200ft) with
resolution 1024x768@60Hz. With CV-17, users can transmit high quality digital video of PC applications through
one cost effective CAT-5/5e LAN cables to the remote monitor or projector, instead of using short and expensive
DVI cables. With embedded EDID inside the adapter, 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-17 includes two units: transmitting and receiving units. The transmitting unit is connected to your PC
DVI output and the receiving unit is connected to the monitor. While successfully connected, the two LED lights
on the RJ-45 connector will blink. The transmission distance between the sending (CV-17-TX) and receiving units
(CV-17-RX) can be up to 60m (200ft) at XGA (1024x768@60Hz) and 30m (100ft) at UXGA (1600x1200@60Hz). With
compact size, CV-17 is the most cost effective choice for bringing your impressive digital video to the remote
display.
