2.6 How to Use This Guide
This guide describes the installation and configuration of the ServSwitch Brand USB Micro
Extender Series. Although the connection and operation of the system is relatively
straightforward, you should consider the following before getting started:
Connection & Compatibility
Each Extender kit contains all the cables required to connect the Local unit to your PC or
KVM switch. The Remote monitor(s), USB devices and any audio and serial equipment
connects directly to the Remote unit.
For information about connection and installation, see Installation, page 16.
Interconnection Cable
You will need CATx (any category 5, 5e, 6 or higher) cable, terminated with RJ45 plugs, to
connect the Local and Remote units (see Interconnection Cable Requirements, page 17).
Adjusting Video
Video signals can become distorted when transmitted over CATx cables. To get the best from
your extender system, it is essential that you:
• Set the Cable Length DIP switches on the Remote unit correctly (see Setting the Cable
Length DIP Switches on page 18).
• Use low skew CATx cable.
