In addition to the technical benefits, the CAT5-4000 also promotes a streamlined working environment. "With ex-tend-it CAT5-4000, out work area is less cluttered, our screen resolution is greatly improved and we can extend the equipment up to 300 feet," said Bill Koepnick of Advantage Audio, a cutting-edge post production house specializing in cartoons for television and film.
