Cables

CrystalView Plus Local Unit to CPU cable

A CPU adapter cable is used to connect from the Local Unit to a CPUs keyboard, video monitor and mouse ports. The Serial/Audio models use a male-to-male cable configured on both ends with an HD15M VGA connector, two MiniDin-6 connectors for the PS/2 keyboard and mouse, a 3.5mm audio cable, and a DB9MF serial cable.

The dual video model uses a DB25M to HD15M cable. The quad video model use a standard HD15M to HD15M video cable for each additional CPU video output.

Max Local unit to CPU cable length is 20 feet using standard cabling. Using coax cabling, this distance can be extended, but care should be taken because power for the Local unit is obtained from the connected CPUs keyboard port. Extended distances may require the use of an additional power supply for the local unit.
