  • Page 14: Service Switch Usage Guide

    SERVICE SWITCH USAGE GUIDE Gefen CAT5 Extreme products (sender and receiver) both contain a pair of service switches (also called dip switches) located underneath the unit. These service switches are used to select from sets of confi gurations that will equalize the signal to best match the conditions in your setup.
  • Page 15: Frequently Asked Questions

    What kind of CAT-5e cable should I be using? Solid core CAT-5e cable rated at 350 Mhz and terminated in 568a or 568b is the minimum requirement. For resolutions greater than 1280x1024 or 1080i, Gefen recommends solid CAT-6 cables. Why does the CAT5 sender unit have a HDMI connector on the input? A HDMI connector was used on the input to optimize space on the board by using the smaller connector.
