The GefenTV Extender for HDMI over one CAT5
The GefenTV Extender for HDMI over one CAT5 uses one CAT-5e (or better)
cable to extend 1080p Full HD and 3DTV over 230 feet (70 meters) away from
its HDMI or DVI-D source. It also supports high bit-rate audio formats such as
Dolby® TrueHD and DTS-HD® Master Audio™.
3D content can be displayed when a 3D-capable display and 3D source are
connected. DVI-D is also supported when used with an HDMI to DVI Adapter,
providing greater exibility and options when integrating several home theater
components.
By using standard CAT-5e cables, it makes HDMI signal extensions easier to
install within a room or through walls. The Extender’s pure digital transmission
method insures 100% signal integrity over long distances.
How It Works
The GefenTV Extender for HDMI over one CAT5 Extender system consists of a
Sender and a Receiver unit. The HDMI source (such as a set-top box, Blu-ray
player, or gaming console) connects to the Sender unit with the supplied 6-foot
HDMI cable. The Receiver unit connects to the HDTV display, up to 230 feet (70
meters) away. One CAT-5e cable links the Sender to the Receiver unit. Power
is applied to the Sender and the Receiver with the two included 5V DC power
supplies. A crisp, awless High-Def picture appears on the HDTV display.

READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR
OPERATING THE EXTENDER FOR HDMI OVER ONE CAT5
• CAT-5 or CAT-6 cables should not exceed 230 feet (70 meters).
• Shielded (STP) CAT-5 or CAT-6 is recommended. However, unshielded
(UTP) CAT-5 or CAT-6 is acceptable, depending on cable quality, but is not
the top choice. Care should always be given to keep these cables away from
power lines and other electromagnetic interference sources.
• This product is Ultra HD 4K x 2K compliant. 4K x 2K resolutions can be
extended up to 130 feet (40 meters) over a CAT-5e cable.
• HDBaseT ® technology allows HDMI, IR (Bi-directional), and power to be
sent on one CAT-5e/6 cable.
OPERATION NOTES
NOTE: Shielded cable has an advantage by providing immunity
to Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) from cell phones and A/C
motors.
