3.2 Interconnection Cable Requirements
To connect the ServSwitch™-Media Local Unit to your CPU/signal source you will need
(Please ensure that the connection is tension-free!):
DVI: Connect the supplied DVI-cable 1.8m (DVI-I male to DVI-I male) to your CPU
(KVM- Switch, DVI- signal source, etc.).
USB: Connect the supplied USB- cable 1.8m (USB Type A to USB Type B) to your CPU
(KVM- Switch, DVI- signal source, etc.).
Serial /Audio (Combo) cable: Connect the supplied Serial/Audio (Combo) cable to your
CPU/signal source (DVI male to DVI male, serial DB9 male/female and Audio).
Serial cable: Connect the supplied Serial cable to your CPU/signal source (DB9 male to
DB9 female).
Audio cable: Connect the supplied Audio cable to your CPU/signal source (2x 3,5 Stereo
Audio jacks).
CATx Cable: Recommended cable: S/UTP (Cat5) according EIA/TIA 56A, TSB 36 or
Digital STP 17-03170. Four pairs AWG 24. Wiring 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.
You may use flexible cables (patch cable) type AWG26/7 but because of the
higher loss of the stranded cables, the maximum extension distance is
reduced to approximately half the value of solid cables.
A point-to-point connection is required. You may use one or more patch
panels in the line. Do not connect the CATx- link interface (RJ45) to any
other products, especially telecommunications or network equipment.
