OPERATING THE CAT5•4000 EXTENDER

•Maximum distance ratings:

•VGA 1920x1200 60Hz is 330 feet.

•DVI 1920x1200 60Hz is 130 feet.

•DVI 1280x1024 60Hz is 300 feet.

•VGA Supported resolutions: 640 x 480 through 1920 x 1200

•DVI Supported resolutions: 640 x 480 through 1920 x 1080

•The CAT5•4000 Extender can send only one video type, either analog or digital, from each input. While the DVI-I input can accept both types, please ensure that only one type of signal is being used by using either a DVI-A or DVI-D cable.

•The channel 1 video input will be mirrored to two separate outputs on the CAT5•4000 sender unit. However, two separate RS-232 inputs are provided and will accommodate an individual RS-232 device for each of the two mirrored video outputs.

•Analog stereo audio connected via the 3.5mm mini-stereo input jack will be transmitted through the mirrored outputs on channel 1 only.

•Channels two and three do not support audio extension.

•Channels two and three have individual RS-232 connections for use.

•When analog video is used on channels two and three, only a single CAT-5, CAT-5e or CAT-6 will be required for full video and RS-232 extension. When digital video is being used, two CAT-5, CAT-5e or CAT-6 cables will be required for full video and RS-232 support.

•When analog or digital video is used on channel one (this applies to either of the mirrored outputs), two CAT-5, CAT-5e or CAT-6 cables will be required for full video, audio, and RS-232 support.

•The CAT5•4000 receiver units need to be configured for use on either channel 1 (dual outputs) or for use on channels 2 and 3. There is a DIP (Dual In-line Package) switch bank located on the underside of the CAT5•4000 receiver that will set the unit for proper operation for either channel 1 (both outputs) or for channels 2 or 3. Please see page 14 for details on how to change these DIP switches.
