Example Configurations
NComputing X-series systems can be configured in a wide variety of ways
depending on the specific needs of your application. The following examples
can be used to help identify the approximate cable lengths for your installation.
The examples assume a center-to-center spacing of 36 inches (~0.9 meters)
between users (for side-by-side configurations) and a table height of 30 inches
(~0.76 meters). All of the examples below are configured for lengths under
16.4 feet (5 m) – which allow the use of Category 5e cable. Other configurations
may require longer cables which would require using Category 6 STP cable.
Classrooms, office cubicles, internet cafés and other environments have unique
needs and furniture can also vary in size. Please use the following guidelines
just as a starting point for your planning. It is important to carefully measure
your specific environment to ensure the right cable length. Again, if using
off-the-shelf cables, always choose the next largest available size.
