Thank you for purchasing the new ex•tend•it CAT5•1000 series.
The ex•tend•it CAT5•1000 allows users the benets of extending VGA, USB, and audio
signals beyond the desktop. In a growing number of applications, broadcast stations and
production facilities there is a need to control a computer remotely. The keyboard, mouse,
and video monitor are relocated to the remote side. A CPU may need to be shared between
several users or moved to another room because of annoying fan noise.
The CAT5•1000 can be used to extend computers with printers, hard drives, scanners,
cameras, keyboards, mouse, and any other USB-type devices. The CAT5•1000 has the
potential to extend the distance of 330 feet over industry standard Category 5 (CAT-5)
cable. One can connect multiple CAT5•1000 units to the same computer, allowing access
to the same computer from different locations up to 330 feet apart.

In its most basic application, the CAT5•1000S sender unit resides next to the computer. With
the supplied VGA, USB, and audio cables, they connect the computer to the CAT5•1000S
sender unit.
The CAT5•1000R receiver unit and USB peripherals are placed next to the mon-
itor. The monitor and USB devices are connected to the CAT5•1000R in the
same way they are connected to the back of the computer (PC or Macintosh).
Industry standard Category 5 (CAT-5) cables are used to link CAT5•1000S sender and
CAT5•1000R receiver units together. The VGA, USB, and audio signals are extended by
one CAT-5 cable.

READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING
OR OPERATING THE CAT5•1000 SYSTEM
* Industry standard Category-5 (CAT-5) cables are used to link the CAT5•1000 sender
and receiver boxes together.
* When two monitors are used in the local and remote locations, the video monitors must
be a multi-resolution type. This pertains to monitors placed remotely, and those divided
between local and remote locations. The video monitors will not initialize correctly at start-
up if they are different types.
* The CAT5•1000 units are housed in a metal box for better RF shielding.

Jumper settings are used to set the focus of the picture and characters to the best possible
sharpness. The jumpers in the CAT5•1000R are set at the factory as shown in the diagram
below. The rst step to adjusting the video is to have the CAT5•1000S and CAT5•1000R
connected together with the CAT-5 cable that is going to be used in the installation. Then
set your computer to the resolution that you will be using most frequently, for best results
set your computers refresh rate to 60Hz. Then removing the top of the CAT5•1000R by
unscrewing the top two screws on either side of the box. Look at some text on the monitor
and move all the jumpers on video 1 to position 1, 3 & 4, and set the jumper to the one
that looks best. If you still see some smearing adjust an individual jumper for the color that
is smearing (it can be two colors).
