SERVSWITCH™ SPECTRA
3.4 About the CPU Cables
Now for the CPUs. You could use separate video-,
keyboard-, and mouse-extension cables to connect the
ServSwitch Spectra to their video, keyboard, and mouse
ports, but we recommend using one of our special CPU-
Extension Cables instead. We offer two varieties of this
cable, in lengths up to 20 ft. (6.1 m):
• The standard type, which has EHN404 product
codes, will probably be just fine if you use your
computers for word processing, spreadsheets, and
other things that don’t make heavy video demands.
If you ordered the Spectra kit, you should have
received a 10-ft. (3-m) length of this.
This cable is built with the special three-in-one
design shown in Figure 3-1 on page 18. All of the
keyboard, video, and mouse signals are carried by
the cable’s main strand. At each end of the cable,
separate keyboard and mouse strands (labeled with
matching icons) branch away from the video
connector, which has screwlocks that bear the
cable’s weight. On the Switch end, the video and
keyboard connectors are black and the mouse
connector is green; on the CPU end, the video
connector is blue, the keyboard connector is purple,
and the mouse connector is green.
