The Extron Extender MK is a one input, one buffered output line driver for sending high resolution VGA–QXGA and audio signals up to 250 feet (75 m) through high quality cable, such as the Extron MHR-5 Mini High Resolution Cable. The Extender MK is designed to mount in a two-gang MK-type junction boxes.

The Extender MK provides video amplification and peaking to compensate for the voltage losses and high frequency attenuation that normally occur in long cable runs. A three position dipswitch lets the installer select the appropriate signal boost for various cable lengths, providing a more detailed image with greater contrast.

The Extender MK also restores the low level sync voltages found on many laptops to normal TTL levels. This sync restoration prepares the signals for long cable runs and offers enhanced compatibility with a wide range of computers, display devices, and cable types.

Active audio buffering allows unbalanced PC audio to be converted to balanced line level stereo audio, eliminating noise usually associated with unbalanced audio when distributed over long cable runs.

For simple and versatile connections, video output is on five female BNCs on a three-inch (8 cm) pigtail, while audio signals are output on a captive screw connector. A 100-240 VAC external power supply is included.
