OPERATION NOTES
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the new ex•tend•it CAT5•5500HD series by Gefen, Inc.
The ex•tend•it CAT5•5500HD by Gefen allows users the benefits of extending dual DVI
displays and USB beyond the desktop. In a growing number of applications, broadcast
stations and production 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 ex-
ample, or moved to another room because of annoying fan noise.
The CAT5•5500HD series can be used to extend computers with noisy fans, printers, hard
drives, scanners, cameras, keyboards, mouse, and any other USB. 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.
