The following steps are for a basic installation using HDMI and USB equipment in a standard KVM
extension installation, if you are using DVI equipment, please substitute the HDMI cables for DVI to
HDMI cables where required.

The maximum HDMI cable length which can be used in/out is 5m with resolutions up to 4K
30Hz, or 2m with 4K resolutions with 60Hz refresh rate.

cable and make sure that the USB-D/USB-H Select Switch (8) is set to Host.

HDBaseT OUT port on the Transmitter and the other end to the HDBaseT port of the Receiver. Solid
core installation cable is recommended.

In addition to the basic installation steps outlined above the C6 HDMI 2.0 & USB KVM Extender can also
provide the following additional/optional functionality:
USB
The Transmitter and Receiver both feature a USB Type A Female port labelled USB-H (USB Host) for
connection to a PC using a USB Type A Male/Male cable and two USB Type A Female ports labelled
USB-D (USB Device) for the connection of basic USB devices such as Keyboard, Mouse, Pen drive or
Printer

determine which ports are active on each unit; so the Transmitter and Receiver can have either active

must be set to different Host/Device values and an USB connection should only be made to the active
ports on either unit.

required to power cycle the Extender by disconnecting/reconnecting the power supply connected to the
Transmitter.
