INTRODUCTION
The CV-117
DVI Passive Extender over Single Cat.X
DVI Passive Extender over Single Cat.X
extends your PC DVI transmission distance up to 30m (100ft) with resolution 1024x768 @60Hz. With
CV-117, users can transmit high quality digital video of PC applications through one cost effective
CAT-5/5e LAN cable to the remote monitor or projector, instead of using short and expensive DVI cables.
With embedded EDID inside the extender, your PC will continue to send the digital video even when the
monitor is not connected. The user can then disconnects the monitor, place it in a remote location and
reconnect it without rebooting the operating system.
The CV-117 includes two identical units: transmitting and receiving units. The transmitting unit is
connected to your PC DVI output and the receiving unit is connected to the monitor or projector. While
successfully connected, the two LED lights on each RJ45 connector will blink. The transmission distance
between the transmitting and receiving units can be up to 30m (100ft) under XGA (1024x768@60Hz) or
15m (50ft) under UXGA (1600x1200@60Hz). With compact size and requiring no power, CV-117 is the
most cost effective choice for bringing your impressive digital video to the remote display.
