Thank you for purchasing the new ex•tend•it CAT5•9000 series by Gefen, Inc.
The ex•tend•it CAT5•9000 by Gefen allows users the benefits of extending VGA, PS/2,
RS232, and audio signals beyond the desktop. In a growing number of applications,
broadcast stations and production facilities there is a 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.
TheCAT5•9000 seriescanbeused toextend computerswith noisyfans, printers,and hard
drives. With the potential to cover the distance of 330 feet, industry standard Category 5
(CAT-5) cables are used for the extension of all the devices. One can connect additional
CAT5•9000series tothe samecomputer,allowing accessto thesame computerfrom other
locations up to 330 feet apart.

READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING
OR OPERATING THE CAT5•9000 SYSTEM
• Use industry standard Category-5 (CAT-5) cable to operate the CAT5•9000 system.
CAT-5 E cable is preferred.
• When monitors are used in the local and remote locations, the video monitors must be
able to use the same resolution. This pertains to monitors placed remotely, and those
divided between local and remote locations. The video monitors will not initialize correctly
at start-up if they are unable to sync the same resolution of the local monitors.
• Please connect all the cables between the computer and the CAT5•9000S before power
up the CAT5•9000S unit.
• The CAT5•9000 units are housed in a metal box for better RF shielding.
