READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING
OR OPERATING THE CAT5•1500HD SYSTEM
* The CAT5•1500HD units are housed in a metal box for better RF shielding.
* In order to extend the full 50 meters you need a high quality CAT5e cable.
* CAT6 cable is suitable for high resolutions at 50 meters.
* If using a ADC-DVI Adapter, the "5V to cable" jumper by the input connector on the
sender unit needs to be enabled.
OPERATION NOTES

INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the new CAT5•1500HD series by Gefen, Inc.
TheCAT5•1500HD byGefenallowsusers thebenefits ofextending aDVI displayand USB
beyond the desktop. In a growing number of applications, broadcast stations and produc-
tion facilities need to locate a computer remotely from the keyboard, mouse, and video
monitor. A CPU may need to be shared between several users, for example, or moved to
another room because of annoying fan noise.
The CAT5•1500HD series can be used to extend computers with noisy fans, printers, hard
drives, scanners, cameras, keyboards, mouse, and other USB devices. With the potential
to cover the distance of 150 feet, industry standard Category 5 (CAT-5) cables are used
for the extension of all the devices.
