Installation

Pre-Configuration

Consider the following when deciding where to place the CAT5 Extender:

the lengths of the cables attached to your keyboard, monitor, and mouse

the location of your computer or KVM switch

the lengths of the cables you’ll use to connect the Transmitter and Receiver units

Cable-Distance Requirements

VGA signals transmit best at shorter cable lengths. At longer cable lengths, the probability of video degradation increases. For this reason, Belkin recommends that the length of the CAT5 patch cable between the Transmitter and Receiver units does not exceed 500 feet (150m).

Warning! Avoid placing cables near fluorescent lights, air-conditioning equipment, or machines that create electrical noise (e.g., vacuum cleaners).

You are now ready to begin installation of your CAT5 Extender.
