The ST-C5USBV-300 USB Extender (XTENDEX) is designed to enable the relocation of a monitor, USB keyboard, and USB mouse from a USB CPU or NTI USB KVM switch by as much as 300 feet via CAT5 cable in addition to having a monitor, USB keyboard, and USB mouse connected locally.
The XTENDEX can be used between two cascaded NTI switches, but the master switch in the configuration will not be able to list the CPUs connected to the extended slave. The OSD menu in the extended slave would have to be used to monitor CPUs connected to it.
CAT6 unshielded twisted-pair cable(s) terminated with RJ45 connectors wired straight thru- pin 1 to pin 1, etc. (see pg. 16 for proper EIA/TIA 568B wiring method) Contact your nearest NTI distributor or NTI directly for all of your KVM needs at 800-742-8324 (800-RGB-TECH) in US & Canada or 330-562-7070 (Worldwide) or at our website at http://www.networktechinc.com...

Note: CAT5 connection cable used between NTI XTENDEX Series Local and Remote or any XTENDEX Series products should not be run underground, outdoors or between buildings.
Note: If a SUN CPU is being connected, depending upon the video connector of the SUN CPU, it may be necessary to attach an NTI #13W3M-15HDF (SUN video port-to-VGA adapter) to the video port on the CPU first, and then connect the video cable to the adapter.
Connect the Local Devices If desired, connect the local user devices to the Local Unit as shown in Figure 2. Connect a USB keyboard and mouse to the USB type A female connectors on the Local Unit. Connect a monitor to the 15HD female connector on the Local Unit. Figure 2- Connect local user devices to the Local Unit If the Local Unit has audio support (ST-C5USBVA-300) , connect the cable from the local self-powered stereo speakers to the 3.5mm stereo audio “AUDIO OUT”...
Connect the CAT5 Cable Connect the CAT5 cable to the “CATx OUT” port on the rear of the Local Unit (see Figure 4). (If an RJ45 wall outlet is being used, connect the other end of the extension cable to it.) When properly inserted the cable end should snap into place.
The Remote Unit Connect the Remote Devices Position the Remote Unit such that the CAT5 cable, the monitor cable, the keyboard and mouse, and the AC adapter power connector can each reach the Remote Unit comfortably. Connect the monitor cable to the 15HD female VIDEO port on the front of the Remote Unit. (See Figure 5) Connect the devices to the Remote Unit.
If the Remote Unit has audio support (ST-C5USBVA-300), connect the cable from the remote self-powered stereo speakers to the 3.5mm stereo audio “AUDIO OUT” jack on the Remote Unit. (See Figure 6) Figure 6- Connect remote self-powered speakers to Remote Unit Connect the CAT5 cable Connect the CAT5 cable to the “CAT5”...
COMMAND MODE The XTENDEX has two areas of user control that can be used as needed. The user can adjust video quality (described below), or enable/disable MAC mode (see page 12) These controls are accessed by entering Command Mode. To enter Command Mode, simultaneously press the left and right <Shift> keys on the keyboard connected to the Remote Unit.
MAC Mode MAC Mode enables the user to connect the Local Unit to a MAC CPU. MAC Mode configures the Local Unit for passing mouse information to the MAC CPU. This is useful when the user wants to use mouse drivers provided by the mouse vendor, which allows the use of programmable functions for each mouse button.
DDC SUPPORT DDC support allows the CPU to detect the video capability of your monitor by transferring EDID data from your monitor to the CPU. If the same make and model monitor is used at the Local and Remote unit, then DDC information can be updated either using Command Mode from the Remote Unit keyboard or from the “DDC Update”...
