2.3 Interconnection Cable Requirements

To connect SDMX KVM-Extender Local and Remote units you will need:
VGA, PS2-Keyboard, PS2-Mouse: Connect the supplied VGA combination cable 1,8m
•
(VGA-Male, 2x PS2 Male on DB25 VGA/PS2-combination connector) with the CPU (KVM-
Switch, etc.). Please ensure that the connection is tension-free!
VGA: Connect the supplied VGA- cable 1,8m (VGA-Male to VGA-Male) with the CPU
•
(KVM.- Switch, etc.). Please ensure that the connection is tension-free!
CATx cable: Recommended cable: S/UTP (Cat5) according EIA/TIA 56A, TSB 36 or Digital
•
STP 17-03170. Four pairs AWG 24. Wiring according EIA/TIA 568A (10BaseT). Use of
cables from a higher category (Cat5e, Cat6, Cat7) is possible.
The use of unshielded CATx- cable is possible; because of the higher electromagnetic
noise/sensitivity, the device class may not be reached. You may use flexible cables (patch
cable) type AWG26/8 but because of the higher loss of the stranded cables, the maximum
extension distance is reduced to approximately half the value of solid cables.
A point-to-point connection is required. You may use one or more patch panels in the
line. Do not connect the CATx- link interface (RJ45) to any other products, especially
telecommunications or network equipment like Hub, Switch, Router etc.
Power Supply: Connect the supplied 5V/DC power supply to the Plug terminal on the Remote
•
Unit of your SDMX –KVM-Extender system.
Power Supply for 'VGA only' application:
Connect the optional power supply (434-2N) to the keyboard connector of the Local
•
Unit or
