CHAPTER 1: SPECIFICATIONS
1.1.5 RJ-45 (INTERCONNECT)
Communication between CATx devices requires a 1000BASE-T connection.
Connector wiring must comply with EIA/TIA-568-B (1000BASE-T), with RJ-45 connectors at both ends. All four cable wire pairs
are used.
1.1.6 FIBER SFP TYPE LC (INTERCONNECT)
Communication of fiber devices is performed via Gigabit SFPs that are connected to suitable fibers fitted with LC type connectors
(see Section 1.2.2).
The correct function of the device can only be guaranteed with SFPs provided by Black Box.
CAUTION: SFP modules can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). Consider ESD handling specifications.
1.1.7 SDI (INTERCONNECT)
Communication of the SDI devices requires a mini coax connection with mini BNC connectors or 3G SFPs with transmission
speeds of 0.36 Gbit/s (SD-SDI, SMPTE 259M), 1.485 Gbit/s (HD-SDI, SMPTE 292M) and 2.97 Gbit/s (3G SDI).
1.2 INTERCONNECT CABLE
1.2.1 C AT X
NOTE: 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 Matrix, is not allowed.
 Avoid routing CATx cables along power cables.
CAUTION: To maintain regulatory EMC compliance, correctly installed shielded CATx cable must be used throughout
the interconnection link.
CAUTION: To maintain regulatory EMC compliance, all CATx cables need to carry ferrites on both cable ends close to the device.
TYPE OF INTERCONNECT CABLE
The Modular KVM Matrix Switch requires interconnect cabling specified for Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T). The use of solid-core
(AWG24), shielded, CAT5e (or better) is recommended.
TABLE 1-1. CATX INTERCONNECT CABLE TYPES
CABLE TYPE DESCRIPTION
CATx Solid-Core Cable AWG24
Cable S/UTP (CAT5e) cable according to EIA/TIA- 568-B. Four pairs of AWG24 wires.
Connection according to EIA/TIA-568-B (1000BASE-T).
CATx Patch Cable AWG26/8
Cable S/UTP (CAT5e) cable according to EIA/TIA- 568-B. Four pairs of AWG26/8 wires.
Connection according to EIA/TIA-568-B (1000BASE-T).
NOTE: The use of flexible cables (patch cables) type AWG26/8 is possible, but the maximum possible extension distance is halved.
