INTRODUCTION 
About 
The DXE-CAT-S2L is part of the growing Digital Xtreme Series. This product is different than the 
typical CAT extender found on the market today as it not only breaks the price barrier but the 
feature and usability aspects as well. All connectors are on one side to make wiring cleaner and 
rack mounting easier. Having the ability to power the device with the choice of transmit or receive 
reduces the installation time and keeps things neat. An industry first is Aurora’s exclusive 
Flex-Power
TM
 Power-Over-Ethernet circuit (Patents Pending), which allows both the transmitter 
and receiver to be powered without the need of any wall supplies. 
The DXE-CAT-S2L is also unique as it combines IP control with an extender. Normally extenders 
simply pass the RS-232 and IR from one device to the other, however, the DXE-CAT-S2L can 
target a local or far end port via TCP, RPC, or Telnet commands from any control system or PC 
on the market. It also has the ability to serve up web pages via the LAN port to any device with a 
web browser. 
Being able to go the distance is important too, and HDBaseT technology helps achieve that. With 
a single CAT cable, the DXE-CAT can go up to 330ft 1080p 60Hz 48bit color depth, 500ft 1080p 
60Hz 24bit (CAT 6), or 600ft 1080p 60Hz 24bit (CAT 6A Shielded)  depending on model. In 
addition, the RS-232, IR, & LAN can be sent over the same cable bi-directionally.
