READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING
OR OPERATING THE DVI CAT-5 EXTREME EXTENDER
• The DVI CAT-5 Extreme is housed in a metal box for better RF shielding.
• Your CAT-5 cable should not exceed 200 feet.
• If you do not need DDC data you can use a single CAT-5 cable for the video only. The
DDC will not be connected.
• If the source requires EDID present, you can use the Gefen DVI Detective to provide
EDID information.
* CAT6 cable is suitable for high resolutions at 50 meters.

receiver unit. Two CAT-5 cables connect the DVI CAT-5 Extreme-S and the DVI CAT-5
Extreme-R units to each other.

SERVICE SWITCH USAGE GUIDE
5
The Senders and Receivers of the Gefen CAT5 Extreme products both contain a set of
service switches (also called dip switches) located underneath each unit. Peeling back
the silver sticker will reveal the service switch bay. These service switches are used
to boost and equalize the signal to best match the conditions in your setup. (*Note:
Adjustments should be done with sources and display on. Switches 3 and 4 are not
used.)
Sender Dip Switch Settings
Setting Switch 1 Switch 2
No Boost OFF ON
Normal Boost (Default) OFF OFF
Strong Boost ON OFF
Undefined ON ON
Receiver Dip Switch Settings
Setting Switch 1 Switch 2
No EQ (Default) OFF OFF
EQ Setting 2 ON OFF
EQ Setting 3 OFF ON
Maximum EQ ON ON
Adjustment Guidelines:
1) Strong boost should not be used on stranded cables. Strong boosting will cause
pixels or no picture on these cables.
2) Using the wrong settings will not damage the units; it will either produce no
image or a noisy image.
3) To eliminate the possibility of cross talk and interference, cables must be
terminated with 568B scheduling. (See page 6 for details)
