How to Use This Guide
This guide describes the installation and configuration of the SD-VUE USB
Mini Extender Series. Although the connection and operation of the system is
relatively straightforward, you should consider the following before getting
started:
Connection & Compatibility
Each Extender kit contains all the cables required to connect the Local Unit to
your PC or KVM switch. The remote monitor(s), USB devices and any audio
and serial equipment connects directly to the Remote Unit.
For information about connection and installation, see Installation, page 11.
Interconnection Cable
You will need CATx (any category 5, 5e, 6 or higher) cable, terminated with
RJ45 plugs, to connect the Local and Remote Units (see Interconnection
Cable Requirements, page 12).
Adjusting Video
Video signals can become distorted when transmitted over CATx cables. To get
the best from your extender system, it is essential that you:
• Set the Cable Length DIP switches on the Remote Unit correctly (see
Setting the Cable Length DIP Switches on page 13).
• Use low skew CATx cable.
