The Gefen CAT5-1600HD
Extend your DVI and USB 2.0 peripherals with the Gefen CAT5•1600HD KVM
extender up to 200 feet away from the computer using two CAT-5e/CAT6 cables.
The unit includes a built-in 4-port USB 2.0 hub located on the Receiver unit and
gives complete computer access control up to 200 feet away.
How It Works
Connect the DVI & USB computer ports to the Sender unit. Connect the remote
display & computer peripherals to the Receiver unit. Two CAT-5 cables (for the
DVI and for the USB 2.0) extensions connect the Sender and the Receiver units
together. Power up the units, and a crisp picture will appear on the display.
Note: The Gefen CAT5•1600HD is HDCP compliant, enabling the viewing of
protected content on the remote extended display. The Gefen CAT5•1600HD
supports digital DVI-D only, not analog DVI-A. Sources and connecting cables
must be DVI-D compatible.
