Gefen CAT5 1500 USB KVM Extender

The Gefen EXT-CAT5-1500 requires just one CAT5 cable to transmit video, audio and control signals to the remote workstation. It essentially bundles the signals together before, during and after transmission so that cabling is reduced while reliable signal transmission is achieved. The EXT-CAT5-1500 is the ideal solution for anyone who desires an effective method to extend their workstation anywhere within 330-feet from the computer.  The CAT5-1500 works with all CRT and LCD computer monitors as well as USB-equipped keyboards and mice (Mac or PC).

The EXT-CAT5-1500 uses two CAT5 cables to transmit its signals to the remote workstation because the video is sent separately from the control and audio signals. The key benefit here is that the video can be tweaked or refined on the receiving end. Another benefit is that the video can actually be extended a few hundred feet further (up to 600-feet) if needed. The CAT5-1500 is perfect for anyone who needs to extend the computer workstation and has more demanding video requirements.

How the Gefen EXT-CAT5-1500 works

The EXT-CAT5-1500 utilizes a sender and receiver methodology to connect the extended workstation to the computer. Simply connect the sender unit to your computer using the cables provided. Then connect the receiver unit to the computer’s keyboard, monitor and mouse at the remote location. CAT5 cable(s), sold separately, then connect the sender unit to the receiver unit. Both the sender and the receiver units must be connected to a power supply. When fully powered and operational, the units efficiently extend video, audio and control signals.
