CONNECTING THE CAT5•4000 EXTENDER DIGITAL (DVI)
How to Connect the CAT5•4000 Extender Using an Digital (DVI) Source
1. Connect up to three digital (DVI) sources to the DVI-I inputs on the
CAT5•4000 sender unit. DVI-D cables should be used to ensure that digital
video is being transmitted.
2. Connect an analog stereo audio source to the 3.5mm stereo audio mini-jack
port on the CAT5•4000 sender unit.
3. Connect up to four RS-232 source devices to the RS-232 input ports on the
CAT5•4000 sender unit.
NOTE: Only pins 2 (RX), 3 (TX), and ground (5) are supported for RS-232 serial
communication. Although there are two mirrored video outputs for channel 1, there
are 2 separate RS-232 connectors available for individual extension. RS-232 1
corresponds to the Mon 1 output and RS-232 2 corresponds to the Mon 2 output. To
enable the RS-232 on channel 1’s dual RS-232 ports, the CAT5•4000 receiver must
be confi gured properly. Please see page 14 for instructions on how to do this.
4. Using CAT-5, CAT-5e or CAT-6 cables, connect the CAT5•4000 receiver
units to the sender unit. Up to 4 receiver units can be used. Please use the
specifi c instructions below for connecting channels 1 through 3.
• Channel 1
(2 mirrored outputs are available. These are labeled Mon 1 and Mon 2)
1. Connect the port labeled DVI/RS-232 on the sender unit to the port
labeled DVI\RS-232 on the receiver unit.
2. Connect the port labeled VGA/Audio on the sender unit to the port
labeled VGA/Audio on the receiver unit. (This cable connection will
not be necessary if audio extension is not needed)
NOTE: These outputs will mirror the single input on channel 1. When
making connections from the sender to receiver, please ensure that
both CAT-5 cables for the outputs labeled Mon 1 are sent to the same
location and both CAT-5 cables for Mon 2 are sent to the same location.
• Channels 2 and 3
1. Connect the port labeled DVI/DDC on the sender unit to the port
labeled DVI/RS-232 on the receiver unit.
2. When using digital (DVI) sources, the RJ-45 port labeled VGA/RS-
232 will need to be connected to the port labeled VGA/Audio on the
receiver unit. This cable is not necessary if RS-232 extension is not
required.
5. Connect an digital (DVI) capable display to the DVI-I output on the
CAT5•4000 receiver unit. DVI-D cables should be used to ensure that digital
video is being transmitted.
