Thank you for purchasing the Composite Extender by Gefen, Inc.
The Composite Extender allows users to extend Composite video signals beyond theA/V
rack. The Composite Extender Series can be used to extend a Composite signal to cover
the distances up to 1000 feet. Industry standard Category 5e (CAT-5e) cable is used for
the extension.
HOW IT WORKS
The Composite Extender sender resides next to the TV source. With the supplied
