The Gefen 2x Dual Link DVI KVM Extender Over CAT-6a
The 2x Dual Link DVIKVM Extender over CAT-6a is a cost-effective solution that
allows the extension of keyboard, video and mouse to a remote workstation up
to 200 feet (60 meters away). This product is particularly useful because it is able
to extend dual link resolutions beyond the limitations of standard DVI cables.
Dual-link resolutions up to 3840 x 2400 are supported using two CAT-6a cables
for each display. USB 2.0 data rates up to 480 Mbps are supported in addition to
backward-compatibility with USB 1.1. The Receiver unit allows the connections
of up to four USB devices, providing access to printers, scanners, cameras,
external storage media, digital signage, and automated control systems.
How It Works
Place the 2x Dual link DVIKVM Extender over CAT-6a Sender unit next to the
DVI sources. Use the included DVI cables to connect the DVI sources to the
Sender unit. Use the supplied USB cable to connect the USB host (source)
device to the USB port on the Sender unit. Connect the Receiver unit to two
dual-link DVI displays using DVI cables. Connect up to four USB devices to
the Receiver unit. Use ve CAT-6a cables, each up to 200 feet (60 meters), to
connect the Sender to the Receiver unit. Connect the included locking power
supplies to the Sender and Receiver units and plug both power cords into
available electrical outlets.
