Welcome to the Repeater/Cross- Repeater Family!
Thank you for purchasing a Repeater/Cross- Repeater! We appreciate your business, and we
think you'll appreciate the many ways that your Repeater/Cross- Repeater system will save
you money, time, and effort.
That's because our Repeater/Cross- Repeater allows, to double the total allowed distance of a
DVXi KVM Extender system for remotely locating a console (DVI-monitor, keyboard and
mouse).
Wherever long distances are usual, e.g. airports, industrial plants, call- centres or in
distributed computer centres, the Repeater/Cross- Repeater is the best way, to solve all
problems in remotely locating your console. 6 different types are available: There are three
types for repeating the signals and doubling the distance and three types to extend the
distance and simultaneously convert from one medium to another (e.g. CATx to Multimode).
This manual will tell you all about your new Repeater/Cross- Repeater, including how to
install, operate, and troubleshoot it. For an introduction to the Repeater/Cross- Repeater, see
Chapter 2. The Repeater/Cross- Repeater product codes covered in this manual are:

REPEATER/CROSS- REPEATER Appendix A: Example Applications This section illustrates some specific applications using the Repeater/Cross- Repeater: • Repeater in Industrial Plant to raise the allowed distance of the interconnection Repeater in Industrial Plant Rev. : 09/25/2012... - Page 23 APPENDIX A: EXAMPLE APPLICATIONS • Repeater/Cross- Repeater in public buildings. In some environments – especially public buildings - , the signal path may be inhomogeneous. This means, a part might be based on CATx, another part in Multimode. The Cross- Repeater hereby allow to convert from one medium to another, without laborious regaining the original signals and resending them.
- Page 24 REPEATER/CROSS- REPEATER • Repeater/Cross- Repeater for interconnection of two buildings. It is not allowed according VDE to make the interconnection of two buildings with CATx Cables. Because of this, the interconnection must be done in fiber. A server from the server room shall be connected with the user console in the plant.
