Installation and Operations Manual
Installation
Installing the Xtensys Video Extender is a very easy plug-and-play process. 
Simply connect the Xtensys Video Extender’s HD15F connector directly to 
the monitor cable; next connect the power adapter to the power jack on 
Xtensys Video Extender. Finally, connect the Xtensys Video Extender’s link 
connector (RJ45F) to the designated KVM port on the Xtensys KVM switch 
with up to 1,000 feet of standard CATx cable. (See below example) 
 
 
 
 
Basic Application Diagram
 
When power is applied, the Xtensys Video Extender will automatically detect 
the cable length, adjust the video gain and equalization and set the skew on 
the RGB components to produce a crystal clear display. 
 
There are several application configurations that can be used for selecting 
and switching your video sources to the remote monitors. You can use the 
local KVM station on the Xtensys KVM Switch to select the video source to 
display on the remote monitors. The Xtensys KVM Switch can also be 
instructed to switch a video port to a KVM port using serial commands from 
an external laptop or terminal connected to the serial port on the Xtensys 
KVM Switch.
