INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing the new CAT5•9500HD series by Gefen, Inc. The CAT5•9500HD by Gefen allows users the benefits of extending DVI, USB 1.1, PS/2, RS232, and audio signals beyond the desktop. In a growing number of applications, broadcast stations and production facilities there is a need to locate a computer remotely from the keyboard, mouse, and video monitor. A CPU may need to be shared between several users, for example, or moved to another room because of annoying fan noise.
CONNECTING AND OPERATING THE CAT5•9500HD READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR OPERATING THE CAT5•9500HD SYSTEM • Use industry standard Category 5e (CAT-5e) cable to operate the CAT5•9500HD system. • Please connect all the cables between the computer and the CAT5•9500HDS before power up the CAT5•9500HDS unit. • The CAT5•9500HD units are housed in a metal box for better RF shielding.

SERVICE SWITCH USAGE GUIDE Gefen CAT5 HD products (sender and receiver) both contain a pair of service switches (also called dip switches) located underneath the unit. These service switches are used to select from sets of configurations that will equalize the signal to best match the conditions in your setup. For the CAT5•9500HD, there is 1 set of switches for the monitor under both the sender and receiver units. The switches are hidden beneath black stickers. Each bank of dip switches have 4 switches.

TROUBLESHOOTING Frequently Asked Questions What kind of CAT-5e cable should I be using? Solid core CAT-5e cable rated at 350 Mhz and terminated in 568a or 568b is the minimum requirement. For resolutions greater than 1280x1024 or 1080i, Gefen recommends solid CAT-6 cables. I’m getting no video on the screens, what can I check? First thing to check is make sure that the video CAT5 is linked to the other video CAT5 port and the same with the DDC ports.
TERMINOLOGY CAT-5 Category 5 cable, commonly known as Cat 5, is an unshielded twisted pair type cable designed for high signal integrity. The actual standard defines specific electrical properties of the wire, but it is most commonly known as being rated for its Ethernet capability of 100 Mbit/s. Its specific standard designation is EIA/TIA-568. Cat 5 cable typically has three twists per inch of each twisted pair of 24 gauge copper wires within the cable.
