Recommendations for twisted pair cables
Both the computer module and the user module provide
Transmission
interfaces to
transmit the following data between the modules.
Transmission:
keyboard, video, mouse, audio, RS232, USB 2.0 (only
ARU
variant)
USB 2.0 Trans.:
USB 2.0 signals (only
ARU2
variant)
The following paragraphs give you recommendations regarding the use of specific
twisted pair cables.
Transmission of KVM data
The signals
keyboard, video, mouse, audio, RS232
and
USB 2.0
(only
ARU
variant) of the
DP1.2-Vision
system are transmitted via category 5e (or better) twisted pair cables.
Depending on the wire gauge and the type of twisted pair cable, the following dis-
tances can be bridged between computer module and user module.
The following cables achieved the best results during test operation:
up to 140 metres:
§Kerpen MegaLine G12-150 S/F AWG22
up to 100 metres:
§G&D K-C5-HR
up to 80 metres:
§Dätwyler Uninet flex 4P, AWG26, S-STP
NOTE:
Several segments of a cable connection can be connected with patch panels
and connection ports.
It is, however, not permitted to connect active components such as network
switches, hubs or repeaters.
