Designed for triple-video extension, the CAT5-8000 comes in two versions that both extend three analog video monitors, one RS-232 device, USB control signals and audio hundreds of feet from the computer. Video, RS-232 and audio signals can be effectively operated at any distance up to 600-feet while USB control signals (for keyboard/mouse) can operate up to 450-feet from the computer. What differentiates the two versions is the video extension techniques and the amount of cabling needed for extension.
The CAT5-8000 sends three analog monitors, one USB-equipped keyboard/mouse, one audio output, and one RS-232 device (like a touchscreen) far from the computer using multiple CAT5 cables. It's designed for those situations where multiple extended video screens are desired. USB control, audio and RS-232 support is provided to enable remote operation for improved performance.
Both versions work with all CRT and LCD computer monitors, USB keyboards/mice, RS-232 and audio devices (Mac or PC).
Both versions use a sender and receiver methodology to transmit signals from the computer to the workstation. The sender connects to the computer using the cables provided. The receiver connects to the three monitors, RS232 and audio devices up to 600-feet away (USB can be extended up to 450-feet). Multiple CAT5 extension cables (up to 4 for the CAT5-8000; up to 5 for the CAT5-8500), sold separately, connect the sender to the receiver and thus the computer to the extended workstation. Both the sender and the receiver must be connected to a power supply. When fully powered and operational, the units extend all signals efficiently and reliably.

 Frequently Asked Questions
|
| Does the Gefen EXT-CAT5-8000 include the CAT5 Cable? |
| No it does not but you can order them right here on our web site. |
|
| Does the Gefen EXT-CAT5-8000 include the transmitter and receiver? |
| Yes it does, it include everything you need except the CAT5 cable |
|
| Does the Gefen EXT-CAT5-8000 support USB High Speed 2.0? |
The Gefen CAT5 KVM Extender EXT-CAT5-8500 does not support USB 2.0 devices
If you are only extending keyboard and mouse and no other USB devices you do not even have to worry about that because USB keyboards and mice are low speed devices and they do not benefit from a USB 2.0 High Speed Bus |
|
| Why do I need four CAT5 cables to connect the transmitter and receiver in a Gefen CAT5 8000 KVM Extender? |
| Gefen CAT5 8000 KVM Extender extends three VGA signals, USB, Audio and Serial, those multiple signals cannot fit all in a single CAT5 cable, so Gefen designed this extender in a multithreaded fashion so different signals can be transmitted over seperate CAT5 cables. You do not have to use all four CAT5 cables if you are only extending certain signals |
