The Gefen EXT-CAT5-8000, designed for triple-video extension, extends 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.  The EXT-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.  This extender works with all CRT and LCD computer monitors, USB keyboards/mice, RS-232 and audio devices (Mac or PC).

How the Gefen EXT-CAT5-8000 works:

The EXT-CAT5-8000 uses 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), 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.
