Thank you for purchasing the new ex•tend•it CAT5•9000HD series by Gefen, Inc.
The ex•tend•it CAT5•9000HD by Gefen allows users the benefits of extending DVI, 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.
The CAT5•9000HD series can be used to extend computers with noisy fans, printers, and
harddrives.Withthe potentialto coverthe distanceof 150feet, industrystandard Category
5 (CAT-5) cables are used for the extension of all the devices. One can connect additional
CAT5•9000HD series to the same computer, allowing access to the same computer from
other locations up to 150 feet apart.
CONTENTS
The CAT5•9000HD system consists of:
(1) CAT5•9000HDS sender unit
(1) CAT5•9000HDR receiver unit
(2) 5VDC power supply
(1) DVI to HDMI cable (6FT)
(2) PS/2 cable (6FT)
(1) Audio cables (6FT)
(1) User Manual
HOW IT WORKS
In its most basic application, the CAT5•9000HDS sender unit resides next to the com-
puter. Supplied with the system, DVI, PS/2, and audio cables connect the computer to the
CAT5•9000HDS sender unit.
The CAT5•9000HDR receiver unit are placed next to the monitors and keyboard, mouse,
speakers, and RS232 devices, at the remote location. The monitor, keyboard, mouse, and
other devices are connected to the CAT5•9000HDR similar to the way they are connected
to the back of the computer (PC or Macintosh).
