2.3 Interconnection Cable Requirements
To connect the Local and Remote units you will need:
DVI, PS2-Keyboard, PS2-Mouse: Connect the supplied KVM CPU cable set to your CPU
•
(KVM.- Switch, etc.). Please ensure that the connection is tension-free! Devices ACS1009A +
ACS2209A
DVI: Connect the supplied DVI CPU cable set to your CPU (KVM.- Switch, etc.). Please
•
ensure that the connection is tension-free! Devices ACS2209A
CATx Cable: Recommended cable: S/UTP (Cat5) according EIA/TIA 56A, TSB 36 or Digital
•
STP 17-03170. Four pairs AWG 24. connection 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.
The use of flexible Cables (Patch cable) Type AWG26/8 is possible. Because of the higher loss
of the stranded cables, the maximum distance is reduced to app. half the value of solid cables.
A point to point connection is required. Having one or more patch panels in the
line is possible and allowed. Not allowed is a connection from the CATx link
interface (RJ45) to any other products, especially telecommunications or network
equipment.
