Introduction
Using HDBaseT technology, the SDX-Plus DVI extender
is capable of sending a DVI-D signal up to 400 feet over
a single conventional and inexpensive CAT5 UTP cable.
HDBaseT technology is superior to older DVI extenders
that require special CAT6 shielded cable to go a short
distance. The SDX-Plus also has USB keyboard and
mouse, RS232 and IR extension, giving you the ability to
control your displays or devices remotely.
