APPENDIX B: Cable Product Codes

Appendix B: Cable Product Codes

The table below and on the next page lists the product codes for all the types of cables we currently offer for use with the ServSwitch. The four digits that follow the dash in each product code indicate how long each cable is in feet (one foot = 30.5 cm).

For most of these cables, xxx’s are shown in place of the last three digits of the product code because the cables come in several stock lengths. For original (standard) CPU and MKM adapter cables, these last three digits can be “001” (MKM cables only), “005,” “010,” or “020” for 1-foot (0.3-m), 5-foot (1.5-m), 10-foot (3-m) or 20-foot (6.1-m) cables respectively. For coaxial cables, these last three digits can be “005,” “010,” “020,” “035,” “050,” “075,” or “100” for 5-foot (1.5-m),

10-foot (3-m), 20-foot (6.1-m), 35-foot (10.7-m), 50-foot (15.2-m), 75-foot (22.9-m), or 100-foot (30.5-m) cables respectively.

The table also lists the product codes for the Station Extenders and CAT5 KVM Extenders. Depending on your equipment and the video resolution you’re using, you might be able to use the one of the Extender types to connect the ServSwitch to monitor/keyboard/mouse stations or CPUs as much as 200 ft. (61 m) away.

If your monitor/keyboard/mouse-sharing system has cabling requirements that can’t be met by what you see here, call Black Box for a possible quote on custom cables or adapters.
