    SERVSWITCH™ BRAND CAT5 EXTENDER DELAY LINE MODULE 2. Introduction The ServSwitch™ Brand CAT5 Extender Delay Line Module can help you overcome one of the common problems associated with video-distance extension over twisted-pair cable. The majority of CAT5 KVM extenders use three of the pairs in a Category 5 cable to separately send the red, green, and blue (RGB) components of the video signal.
