Congratulations on your purchase of the VGA Extender SRN. Your complete
satisfaction is very important to us.
Gefen
Gefen delivers innovative, progressive computer and electronics add-on solutions
that harness integration, extension, distribution and conversion technologies.
Gefen’s reliable, plug-and-play products supplement cross-platform computer

The Gefen VGA Extender SRN
The VGA Extender SRN allows users to extend video signals far beyond the A/V
rack. The VGA Extender SRN can be used to extend an analog VGA signal to
cover distances up to 150 feet (45 meters). Industry standard Category 5e (CAT-
5e) cable is used for the extension.
How It Works
The VGA extender SRN sender unit connects to your computer using the
supplied VGA cable. The SRN receiver connects to your monitor - up to 150 feet
(45 meters) away. One CAT-5 cable connects the sender and the receiver to
each other, extending your video. The video transmitter and receiver boxes are
small and unobtrusive, allowing installation in small spaces.

READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR
OPERATING THE VGA EXTENDER SRN
• Display information (EDID) is not sent back to the source. Standard VESA
resolutions should be output by most computers without the need of an
EDID. If using a non-VESA standard resolution or if EDID is needed, an
EDID storage and relay device is necessary. Gefen recommends the use of
a DVI Detective (part# EXT-DVI-EDID, EXT-DVI-EDIDN, or EXT-DVI-EDIDP)
with two VGA to DVI adapters.
• Use industry standard Category-5 (CAT-5) cable to operate the VGA
Extender SRN system. CAT-5e cable is preferred.
• Please connect all the cables between the computer and the VGA Extender
SRN before powering up the VGA Extender SRN unit.
• The VGA Extender SRN units are housed in a metal box for better RF
shielding.
