Appendix A. Cable and connector
specifications
IMPORTANT NOTE
The maximum cable lengths supported vary widely between devices and
cables. It may be possible to use cables that are longer than those specified
below with certain PCs and peripherals but this cannot be guaranteed. If you
experience problems try using shorter cables.
A1. Keyboard, monitor and mouse connections
All of these devices plug directly into the relevant ports of the X-KVM. If you use an
AT style keyboard you will need an AT (5 pin DIN female) to PS/2 (6 pin mini-DIN
male) converter.
Cable specification for connections from the remote unit to the keyboard,
monitor and mouse
Ideally keyboard, monitor and mouse cables should not be longer than 10 metres.
Many keyboards and mice will also operate at distances of 20 metres but this cannot
be guaranteed. If you are using a monitor extension cable then you should ensure
that this is a high quality tri-coax type.
A2. Computer connections
Cables for connection to PCs:
When used without the auxiliary power adapter, cables to PCs may be up to 5
metres long. With the optional power adapter the cables may be extended up to 30
metres using standard extension cables. Video extension cables should be good
quality with a coaxial construction. Please contact your supplier if you have any
questions.
