SERVICE SWITCH USAGE GUIDE Gefen CAT5 DVI Extenders (sender and receiver) both contain a pair of service switches located on the board inside the case. These service switches are used to select from a set of confi gurations that will equalize the signal to best match the conditions in your setup.
I’m getting no video on the screens using ADC to DVI adapters, what is wrong? ADC to DVI adapters remove the necessary 5V line that the extenders require on the input to operate. To enable the 5V you will need to open up the sender unit. Next to each DVI/ HDMI input connector will be a jumper that needs to be shorted to enable 5V to the input.
TERMINOLOGY CAT-5 Category 5 cable, commonly known as Cat 5, is an unshielded twisted pair type cable designed for high signal integrity. The actual standard defi nes specifi c electrical properties of the wire, but it is most commonly known as being rated for its Ethernet capability of 100 Mbit/s.
