How It Works
The GefenPRO Extender for HDMI ELR PoL 2 over CAT5 Sender unit is located next to a set-top box or DVD player source. Use the supplied HMDI cable to connect an HDMI source to the Sender unit. The GefenPRO Extender for HDMI ELR PoL 2 over CAT5 Receiver unit is located up to 330 feet (100 meters) away, near the display. Connect the HDTV display and another Hi-Def source to the Receiver Unit.
One CAT-5 cable connects the Sender and Receiver units to each other. The Ethernet ports on both the Sender and Receiver units are connected to standard network devices, such as 100Base-T routers and hubs. Multichannel digital audio is embedded in the HDMI signal (Dolby¨ TrueHD / DTS-HD Master Audio).
To use the switching capability, simply power on the Hi-Def source connected to the Receiver Unit. The Extender will automatically switch to source connected to the Receiver Unit. To revert to the source connected to the Sender Unit, simply power down the source connected to the Receiver Unit.
To power an additional device, order the optional cable below.

*Note: Power over Line (PoL) is a Gefen proprietary technology that provides 10W of 5 Volt DC power to the GefenPRO Extender for HDMI ELR PoL 2 over CAT5 Receiver Unit over the single CAT-5 signal cable, and allows the Receiver Unit to power additional Gefen devices.
It is based on the Power over Ethernet (PoE) Standards, but is specifically tailored to Gefen's Hi-Def video products.
