SERVICE SWITCH USAGE GUIDE Gefen CAT5 HD 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 configurations that will equalize the signal to best match the conditions in your setup. For the CAT5•7500HD, there are 1 set of switches for each monitor under both the sender and receiver units. The switches are hidden beneath black stickers. Each bank of dip switches have 4 switches.
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. HDMI is electrically equivalent to DVI-D.
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 defines specific electrical properties of the wire, but it is most commonly known as being rated for its Ethernet capability of 100 Mbit/s. Its specific standard designation is EIA/TIA-568. Cat 5 cable typically has three twists per inch of each twisted pair of 24 gauge copper wires within the cable.
