1.6. Optional Cables and Accessories
The remote access KVM over IP module, LINDY No. 39636, can be installed at any time.
(To install it into the KVM Switch CAT-32 ensure all connected computers are switched off or
disconnected and the power supply is unplugged. Open the slot on the back of the KVM Switch
and slide the module into the slot.)
The local monitor, PS/2 mouse and PS/2 keyboard is connected using their standard cables.
To connect each individual computer to the switch, Cat.5/6 computer modules are required. For
USB or PS/2 computers different modules have to be used as listed below:
•
For PS/2 computers: Cat.5/6 Computer module PS/2 & VGA, LINDY No. 39633
•
For USB computers: Cat.5/6 Computer module USB & VGA, LINDY No. 39634
A Cat.5e or 6 UTP cable of appropriate length (max. 100m) is required to connect the KVM
Switch to the computer modules. These cables are available from LINDY in several different
colors and lengths from 0.3m up to 100m. We don’t recommend using shielded FTP/STP
cables. Please find a small overview below:
