3.2 Interconnection Cable Requirements
To connect the Local and Remote units you will need:
•
DVI, PS2-Keyboard, and PS2-Mouse: Connect the supplied KVM CPU cable set to
your CPU (KVM - Switch, etc.). Please ensure that the connection is tension-free!
Devices K461-1W, K461-2W, K461-SA and K461-DA
•
DVI, USB-Keyboard, USB-Mouse: Connect the supplied DVI-D cable (DVI-D to
DVI-D) and the USB-cable (USB-A to USB-B) to your CPU. Please ensure that the
connection is tension-free! Devices K461-1U, K461-2U, K461-SU and K461-DU
•
DVI: Connect the supplied DVI CPU cable set to your CPU (KVM - Switch, etc.).
Please ensure that the connection is tension-free! Devices K461-2W, K461-2U, K461-

•
serial/audio: Connect the supplied serial/audio cable set to your CPU (8pin miniDIN
male to serial DB9-male/female and 2c 3.5mm audio).
•
Serial: Connect the supplied serial cable to your CPU.
•
Audio: Connect the supplied audio cable to your CPU.
•
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.
