The Gefen DVIKVM Extra Long Range Extender Over One CAT5
The DVIKVM ELR extends any DVI and USB source to a monitor, touch screen
display, or other digital signage application over a distance up to 330 feet
(100 meters) using one Cat-5 cable. 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 (Extra Long Range)
technology, allowing DVI and USB signals to travel along the same CAT-5 cable,
reducing cabling costs and facilitating easier installation.
How It Works
Place the DVIKVM Extra Long Range Extender Over One CAT5 Sender Unit next
to the DVI source. Use the included DVI cable to connect the computer or other
DVI source 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 monitor or digital signage display with a DVI cable. Connect the USB
devices to the Receiver Unit. Use one Cat-5 cable, up to 330 feet (100 meters),
to connect the Sender Unit to the Receiver Unit. Connect the included locking
power supplies to the Sender Unit and Receiver Unit, and then connect both
power cords to available electrical outlets.
