The Gefen Extender for HDMI 1.3 over CAT5 with Ethernet
The Extender for HDMI 1.3 over CAT5 with Ethernet extends a Hi-Def display with
multi-channel digital audio and Ethernet at resolutions of up to 1080p60 at up to
330 feet (100 meters) away from a HDMI or DVI-D source using one CAT-5 cable.
DVI-D is supported when used with an HDMI to DVI Adapter, providing greater
flexibility and options when integrating several home theater components.
Extension of Ethernet connectivity enables internet or local area network access
for HDTVs, home PCs, video game consoles, DVRs and any device that needs
fast 10/100Base-T network access, at convenient locations.
The IR back-channel feature lets users control Hi-Def sources as if they were
located at the display. IR commands are processed by the IR eye on the receiver,
transmitted back over the CAT5 extension, and then sent to original A/V source
devices located by the sender unit using the IR Blaster (sold separately).
How It Works
Connect the Gefen Extender for HDMI 1.3 over CAT5 with Ethernet sender
unit to the A/V and Ethernet source devices such as infrastructure, routers and
switches using short HDMI and CAT5 cables. Do the same operation between
the Extender receiver and the extended HD Display and any network devices that
you are connecting to. When the Extender sender and receiver units have been
connected to sources, displays and network equipment, connect a single CAT5
extension cable between sender and receiver. The Extender sender and receiver
units may be up to 330 feet apart.
Note: The Extender for HDMI 1.3 over CAT5 with Ethernet is fully HDMI and
HDCP compliant.

1. The Extender for HDMI 1.3 over CAT5 with Ethernet has two parts, a sender
unit and a receiver unit. Position the sender unit near the HDMI source and the
receiver near the Display. Connect the HDMI source to the sender with the
provided locking HDMI cable. Connect the Display to the receiver unit with a
user-supplied HDMI cable.
2. Connect Ethernet from the device/router to the Ethernet input port on the
Extender’s sender unit with user-supplied CAT-5, CAT-5e or CAT-6 cables.
Connect the Ethernet output port on the receiver to the remote device/router
with a short length of user-supplied CAT-5, CAT-5e or CAT-6 cable.
3. Connect the sender and receiver units together using one user-supplied CAT-
5e or CAT-6 cables.
NOTE: If terminating network cables in the field, please adhere to the TIA/
EIA568B specification. Please see the next page (7).
4. Plug the two 5V DC power supplies into the Extender’s sender and receiver
units. Power on the sender and receiver units.
NOTE: If the power LED indicator on the receiver unit is not on, please check
to make sure that the RJ-45/CAT5 cables are not crossed (Ethernet to CAT5
Link instead of Ethernet to Ethernet, for instance).
5. Power on the display and the source. A vibrant HD picture will be seen,
accompanied by multichannel digital audio (if the Display is capable of audio).
CONNECTING AND OPERATING THE EXT-HDMI1.3-CAT5-ELR

Gefen has specifically engineered their products to work with the TIA/EIA-568-B
specification. Please adhere to the table below when field terminating cable for
use with Gefen products. Failure to do so may produce unexpected results and
reduced performance.
CAT-5, CAT-5e, and CAT-6 cabling comes in stranded and solid core types. Gefen
recommends using solid core cabling. CAT-6 cable is also recommended for best
results.
Each cable run must be one continuous run from one end to the other. No splices
or use of punch down blocks are allowed since their use can cause a break in the
electronic signal.
