Know before you buy
You can use standard CAT5, CAT5e, or CAT6 cabling to achieve the maximum extension distance of 328 feet. For the most reliable signal performance, we recommend using high-quality shielded CAT6 cable.
The extender is compatible with USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 devices. While it is perfect for keyboards, mice, and basic peripherals, it is not intended for high-bandwidth applications like external hard drives or webcams.
Automatic EDID learning allows the transmitter to capture the display information from your connected monitor. This ensures your computer automatically detects the correct resolution and settings without requiring manual configuration.
No, the DPX-1P-Plus is designed to support a single display connection. If you need to extend signals for multiple monitors, you would require a separate extender unit for each display.
The unit supports a maximum resolution of 3840 x 2160 (4K) at a 30Hz refresh rate. For 1080p content, it supports a smoother 60Hz refresh rate.
No, the device is completely plug-and-play. Simply connect your cables to the transmitter and receiver units, and the system will begin transmitting signals immediately without the need for additional drivers.
