• A DVI single link or dual link DVI monitor capable of the highest resolution you will be us-
ing on any monitor in the installation.

Computers
The following equipment must be installed on each computer that is to be connected to the
system:
• A DVI port
• 2 USB ports for the mouse and keyboard
• Microphone and speaker ports (optional)
Cables
• For optimal signal integrity, and to simplify the layout, we strongly recommend that you
use the high quality custom KVM Cable that is provided with this package.
• Cat 5e cable with solid conductors is required to connect the Local and Remote units.
Cable of a lower standard will result in degrading of the video signal. We strongly recom-
mend using Cat 5e or higher grade cables.
• For better quality over longer distances, we suggest using 350MHz Low Skew Cable
with solid conductors.
