APPENDIX: Cable and Connector Guidelines
RS-232 serial mouse ports:
These require a special
adapter, with the pinning shown in the illustration on
the next page. Such adapters are included with the Kits
and are also available separately as product code FA314.
PS/2 type mouse cables, such as the mouse strand of
our CPU Extension Cables (see
Section 3.3
), should be
no longer than 65 ft. (20 m). Neither should RS-232
cable (if you are using a converter at the Switch end
instead of the PC end). You
must
use an optional power
supply with all of the Switches in your system in order to
run this distance; without the optional power supply, do
not
run cable farther than 32 ft. (10 m) to your CPUs’
RS-232 mouse ports.
