Welcome to the DVI-D Cat X KVM-Extender

Family!

Thank you for purchasing an DVI-D Cat X KVM-Extender! We appreciate your business,

and we think you’ll appreciate the many ways that your enhanced RGB Graphic system will

save you money, time, and effort.

That’s because our DVI-D Cat X KVM-Extender is all about breaking away from the

traditional model of attaching a new display to DVI graphic source. Using the DVI-D Cat X

KVM-Extender, you can remotely locate monitor, keyboard and mouse up to 140m away

from your CPU.

Wherever long distances are required, e.g. airports, industrial plants, call- centres or in

distributed computer centres, the DVI-D Cat X KVM-Extender is the best way, to solve all

problems in remotely locating your console. 4 different types are available: Singlehead and

Dualhead devices for PS2 keyboard/mouse and Singlehead and Dualhead devices for USB

keyboard/mouse.

This manual will tell you all about your new DVI-D Cat X KVM-Extender, including how to

install, operate, and troubleshoot it. For an introduction to the Converter, see Chapter 2. The

Safety Precautions and Installation Guidelines

To ensure reliable and safe long-term operation, please note the following installation

guidelines:

•Do not use CATx-devices to link between buildings – please use fiber devices.

•Only use in dry, indoor environments.

•If the building has 3-phase AC power, try to ensure that equipment connected to the

Local and Remote units is on the same phase.

•Try not to route a CATx link cable alongside power cables.

•The Remote unit, Local unit and any power supplies can get warm. Do not locate them

in an enclosed space without any airflow.

•Do not place a power supply directly on top of a unit.

•Do not obstruct a unit’s ventilation existing holes.

To safeguard against personal in ury and avoid possible

damage to equipment or property, please observe the

following:

•Only use power supplies originally supplied with the

product or manufacturer-approved replacements. Do not

attempt to dismantle or repair any power supply. Do not

use a power supply if it appears to be defective or has a

damaged case.

•Connect all power supplies to grounded outlets. In each

case, ensure that the ground connection is maintained

from the outlet socket through to the power supply’s AC

power input.

•Do not attempt to modify or repair this product, or make

a connection from the CATx link interface (RJ45) to any

other products, especially telecommunications or

network equipment.

OVERVIEW

2. Overview

2.1 Introduction

A CatX KVM Extender is mainly used, to extend the maximum distance between a CPU

and his Keyboard / Monitor / Mouse considerably. In addition they are beneficial in

installations in electromagnetic hazardous environments (EMI). Normal Keyboard-/

Monitor-/ Mouse extender cables (and Extender using traditional cables) cannot go so far

and EMI interferences may reduce the maximum distance and/or reliability. Using a

DVI-D Cat X Extender system, these limitations are past. Retain your CPU in a secure

rack cabinet or data center while accessing from a 140m remotely located place.

A basic KVM extension system comprises a Local unit (transmitter) and a Remote unit

(receiver). The Local unit connects directly to the computer (or a KVM switch system) using

the supplied cable(s). The user console (keyboard, mouse and monitor) attaches to the

Remote unit. The Remote and Local units communicate video and data information along the

interconnecting cable. Local units offer dual access, allowing the connection of a second user

console close to the computer.
