13 Thank you for purchasing the new extendit CAT59000 series by Gefen, Inc.
The extendit CAT59000 by Gefen allows users the bene ts of extending VGA, USB,
RS232, and audio signals beyond the desktop. In a growing number of applications,
broadcast stations and production facilities there is a need to locate a computer remotely
from the keyboard, mouse, and video monitor. A CPU may need to be shared between
several users, for example, or moved to another room because of annoying fan noise.
The CAT59000 series can be used to extend computers with noisy fans, printers, hard
drives, scanners, cameras, keyboards, mouse, and any other USB-type devices. With the
potential to cover the distance of 330 feet, industry standard Category 5 (CAT-5) cables are
used for the extension of all the devices. One can connect additional CAT59000 series
to the same computer, allowing access to the same computer from other locations up to
330 feet apart.
CONTENTS
The CAT59000 system consists of:
(1) CAT59000S sender unit
(1) CAT59000R receiver unit
(2) 5VDC power supply
(1) VGA M-F cables (6FT)
(1) USB cable (6FT)
(2) PS/2 cable (6FT)
(1) Audio cables (6FT)
(1) User Manual
HOW IT WORKS
In its most basic application, the CAT59000S sender unit resides next to the com put er.
Supplied with the system, VGA cable, audio cable, and USB cable con nect the computer
to the CAT59000S sender unit.
The CAT59000R receiver unit are placed next to the monitors and USB device, at the
remote location. The monitor, keyboard, mouse, and other USB devices are connected to
the CAT59000R similar to the way they are con nect ed to the back of the computer (PC
or Macintosh).
Industry standard Category 5 (CAT-5) cables are used to link CAT59000S send er and
CAT59000R re ceiv er units together. The video, USB, and audio 1 signals are ex tend ed
by one CAT-5 cable. Audio 2 and audio in is ex tend ed with a second CAT5 cable, and
RS232, and PS/2 signals are extended with a for CAT5 cable.
INTRODUCTION
1 READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING
OR OPERATING THE CAT59000 SYSTEM
Use industry standard Category-5 (CAT-5) cable to operate the CAT59000 system.
CAT-5 E cable is preferred.
When monitors are used in the local and remote locations, the video monitors must be
able to use the same resolution. This pertains to monitors placed remotely, and those
divided between local and remote locations. The video monitors will not initialize correctly
at start-up if they are unable to sync the same resolution of the local monitors.
Please connect all the cables between the computer and the CAT59000S before power
up the CAT59000S unit.
The CAT59000S unit can be powered from the USB cable without the external power
supply.
The CAT59000 units are housed in a metal box for better RF shielding.

Jumper settings are used to set the focus of the picture and characters to the best possible
sharpness. The jump ers in the CAT59000R are set at the factory as shown in the diagram
below. The rst step to adjusting the video is to have the CAT59000S and CAT59000R
con nect ed together with the CAT-5 cable that is going to be used in the in stal la tion. Then
set your computer to the resolution and refresh rate that you will be using most frequently
be using. Then open up the CAT59000R by un screw ing the bottom three screws on back
end of the box. Then two screws on each side of the box and the top. That is 9 screws in
total that need to be removed. Lastly the 4 hex bolts around the Monitor Out port and the
Video In port need to also be removed. After that look at some text on the monitor and
set the jumpers to the recommended jumper setting based on the length of your CAT-5
cable. If you still see some smear ing try moving all the jumpers up or down one from the
recommended setting. If you see smearing of just one color adjust an individual jumper
for the color that is smearing (it can be two colors). Repeat the same steps for monitor 2
