The Gefen TV Extender for HDMI Long Range

The GefenTV HDMI CAT5-LR sends HDMI signals up to 825 feet (250m) away 
from your HDMI source using just two widely available and inexpensive CAT5 
cables (only one cable if the display’s EDID is remembered by source equip-
ment). The HDMI CAT5-LR extender is also capable of supporting computer 
video (DVI-D) when used with a DVI-to-HDMI cable, adding versatility. There are 
no compromises with this solution -- video resolutions up to 1080p are delivered 
in perfect digital purity accompanied with 7.1 digital audio for a full multimedia 
experience at the remote destination. 

How It Works

The GefenTV HDMI CAT5-LR Sender sits next to the source (computer, set-top 
box or DVD player). The supplied cable connects an HDMI source to the HDMI 
CAT5-LR Sender unit. The GefenTV HDMI CAT5-LR Receiver sits next to the 
HDTV display -- up to 825 feet away. The HDTV display plugs into the GefenTV 
HDMI CAT5-LR Receiver. Two CAT5 cables link the HDMI CAT5-LR Sender and 
Receiver units to each other. Power is connected to HDMI CAT5-LR Sender and 
Receiver, and a vibrant HD picture results on the connected HDTV display at the 
receiver.

Note: The GefenTV HDMI CAT5-LR is HDMI 1.2 and DVI 1.0 compliant. It does 
not support HDCP.
