New Gefen Extender Boosts HDMI Signal Longer Distances Over CAT-5 Cable

Extreme extension system enables a greater span of HDTV delivery over two industry-standard category-5 cables.

July 5, 2007

The Gefen HDMI CAT-5 MS Extreme offers a cost-effective and reliable method of HDMI signal extension, providing a 100-foot distance increase over the HDMI CAT-5 Extreme. The unit delivers high definition resolutions (1080i to 300 feet; 1080p to 150 feet) and digital audio to the extended display or projector in HDMI format. The real-time, long distance delivery of robust video and audio signals over economical category-5 cabling makes it ideally suited for digital upgrades and installations using in conduit cabling. Engineered to withstand catgory-5 cable skew variations and extraneous equipment noise, Gefen’s HDMI CAT-5 MS Extreme offers plug and play HDMI extension with no signal losses or delays. Operating through small sender and receiver units, both separately powered, Gefen’s HDMI CAT-5 MS Extreme installs in minutes; it requires a simple connection of the sender to the source and the receiver to the remote display, linked together by two cables up to 300 feet. HDMI audio and video are delivered to the extended receiver, enabling the remote display to function as if connected locally. DVI displays and sources may be connected to the system using one of Gefen’s DVI and HDMI adapters. MSRP: $549 Availability: pre-order
