7.2.1 Cat X
A point-to-point connection is required. Operation with several patch fields
is possible. Routing over an active network component, such as an
Ethernet Hub, Router or Switch, is not allowed.
 Avoid routing Cat X cables along power cables.
 If the site has 3-phase AC power, try to ensure that CPU Unit and
CON Unit are on the same phase.
To maintain regulatory EMC compliance, correctly installed shielded Cat X
cable must be used throughout the interconnection link.
To maintain regulatory EMC compliance, all Cat X cables need to carry
ferrites on both cable ends close to the device.
Type of Interconnect Cable
The KVM Extender requires interconnect cabling specified for Gigabit
Ethernet (1000BASE-T). The use of solid-core (AWG24), shielded, Cat 5e
(or better) is recommended.
Cat X Solid-Core Cable
AWG24 S/UTP (Cat 5e) cable according to EIA/TIA-
568-B. Four pairs of wires AWG24.
Connection according to EIA/TIA-568-B
(1000BASE-T).
Cat X Patch Cable
AWG26/8 S/UTP (Cat 5e) cable according to EIA/TIA-
568-B. Four pairs of wires AWG26/8.
Connection according to EIA/TIA-568-B
(1000BASE-T).
The use of flexible cables (patch cables) type AWG26/8 is possible,
however the maximum possible extension distance is halved.
