Gefen DVI CAT-5 Extreme Extender

Extend your High Definition Display up to 200 feet!

The DVI CAT-5 Extreme makes it simple to connect DVI equipment over distances up to 61 meters (200 feet).  This is at least four times the distance that is possible with even the best passive cables!

CAT5 cables have the added advantage of small physical size, making them ideal for use in conduits, or anywhere that it would be difficult to route a DVI cable.  The transceiver units are small and lightweight, making them easy to install.  We have the necessary CAT5 cable kits available separately.

Gefen's Description

Extends DVI up to 200 feet (60 meters) over two CAT-5 cables.

The DVI CAT-5 Extreme extends your DVI display up to 200 feet away from your HDTV DVI or HDMI™ source using cost effective CAT-5 cables.

How it works
The DVI CAT-5 Extreme sender unit sits next to your computer, DVD player or any set-top box. The cable supplied with the DVI CAT-5 Extreme connects your DVI source to the sender. The DVI CAT-5 Extreme receiver sits next to your DVI display - up to 200 feet away. The display plugs into the back of the DVI CAT-5 Extreme receiver. Two CAT-5e cables connect the sender and the receiver units to each other.

Note: The DVI CAT-5 Extreme is HDCP compliant.
