The Gefen 2x DVIKVM Extender
The 2x DVIKVM Extra Long Range Extender Over Two CAT5 extends any two
DVI sources and USB to two monitors, touch screen displays, or digital signage
applications up to 330 feet (100 meters), using two CAT-5e cables. USB 2.0 data
rates up to 100 Mbps are supported in addition to backward-compatibility with
USB 1.1. The Receiver unit allows the connections of up to three USB devices,
providing access to printers, scanners, cameras, external storage media, digital
signage, and automated control systems. This product uses Gefen ELR
technology, allowing DVI and USB signals to travel along the same CAT-5e
cables, reducing cabling costs and providing easier installation.
How It Works
Place the 2x DVIKVM Extender 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 the displays with DVI cables.
Connect the USB devices to the Receiver unit. Use two CAT-5e cables, each up
to 330 feet (100 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.
