INTRODUCTION
Thank
y
ou for purchasin

the new ex•tend•it CAT5•6000 series b
y
Gefen, Inc.
The ex•tend•it CAT5•6000 b
y
Gefen allows users the benefi ts of extendin
g
USB, audio,
R
S232, and video si
g
nals be
y
ond the desktop. In a
g
rowin
g
number of applications,
broadcast stations and production facilities need to locate a computer remotel
y
from the
ke
y
board, mouse, and video monitor. A CPU ma
y
need to be shared between several us-
e
rs, for example, or moved to another room because of anno
y
in
g
fan noise.
The CAT5•6000 series can be used to extend computers with nois
y
fans, printers, hard
drives, scanners, cameras, ke
y
boards, mouse, and an
y
other USB or RS232-t
y
pe device.
With the potential to cover the distance of 330 feet, industr
y
standard Cate
g
or
y
5
(
CAT-5
)
c
ables are used for the extension of all the devices.
O
ne can connect additional
