B004-2DUA4-K come with 6 ft. Cable Kits. If you need a longer cable, you will have to purchase a separate P759-Series DVI/USB + Audio KVM Cable Kit of the appropriate length.

13Connect a DVI cable to the DVI B port on the back of the Host KVM switch, and then into a DVI port on the computer being added to the installation. Note: The B004-2DUA2-K and B004-2DUA4-K come with 6 ft. DVI-D Dual Link Cables. If you need a longer cable, you will have to purchase a separate P560-Series (DVI-D Dual-Link) or P561-Series (DVI-D Single-Link) cable of the appropriate length.

14Connect a DVI cable to the DVI A port on the back of the Client KVM switch, and then into a DVI port on the computer being added to the installation.

15Connect a DVI cable to the DVI B port on the back of the Client KVM switch, and then into a DVI port on the computer being added to the installation.

the computer being added to the installation using a standard USB 2.0 cable. Otherwise, the USB and 3.5 mm Mini Stereo KVM ports on the Client KVM switch can remain open.

17Repeat steps 11 through 16 for each additional computer you are adding to the installation.
