7.2.1
Cat X
A point-to-point connection is required. Operation with several patch fields
is possible. Routing over an active network component, such as an
Ethernet Hub, Router or Switch, is not allowed.
Avoid routing Cat X cables along power cables.
If the site has 3-phase AC power, try to ensure that CPU Unit and
CON Unit are on the same phase.
To maintain regulatory EMC compliance, correctly installed shielded Cat X
cable must be used throughout the interconnection link.
To maintain regulatory EMC compliance, all Cat X cables need to carry
ferrites on both cable ends close to the device.
Type of Interconnect Cable
The KVM Extender requires interconnect cabling specified for Gigabit
Ethernet (1000BASE-T). The use of solid-core (AWG24), shielded, Cat 5e
(or better) is recommended.
Cat X Solid-Core Cable
AWG24
S/UTP (Cat 5e) cable according to EIA/TIA-
568-B. Four pairs of wires AWG24.
Connection according to EIA/TIA-568-B
(1000BASE-T).
Cat X Patch Cable
AWG26/8
S/UTP (Cat 5e) cable according to EIA/TIA-
568-B. Four pairs of wires AWG26/8.
Connection according to EIA/TIA-568-B
(1000BASE-T).
The use of flexible cables (patch cables) type AWG26/8 is possible,
however the maximum possible extension distance is halved.
