Compatibility and Recommended Setup
The product is compatible with many graphics cards, operating systems and monitors, and supports high
definition video resolutions of up to 1080p, 1920 x 1200, and 4K. However, there is no guarantee that all
devices will be compatible with the product as there are a number of different factors that may impact the
operation of this KVM Extender.
This product supports both USB 1.1 and 2.0 devices. These devices include: keyboards, mice, flash drives,
microphones, speakers, printers, and USB 1.1 web cameras. If uncertain whether your USB 2.0 device(s) can
be supported, please contact Technical Support:
techsupport@icron.com .
USB 2.0 devices are limited to 30Mbps of throughput. Not all USB 2.0 devices will reach full
performance as a result.
HDMI Cables
Poorly terminated HDMI cables may result in damage to the devices they are connected to. Please ensure
that you use the HDMI cable provided with the product when connecting the LEX (Local Extender)
to the host computer and high quality HDMI cables for all other HDMI connections.
Cabling
Solid core Category 6 STP cable with Category 6 RJ45 connectors is recommended for best
performance.
Using Cat 5e or unshielded Cat 6 cabling may leave your signal more susceptible to
interference and noise which may result in poor video performance or reduced extension distance.
