INSTALLATION

3.2 Interconnection Cable Requirements

To connect the Local and Remote units you will need:

•DVI, PS2-Keyboard,PS2-Mouse:Connect the supplied KVM CPU cable set to your CPU (KVM.- Switch, etc.). Please ensure that the connection is tension-free! Devices ACS2028A + ACS2228A

•DVI, USB-Keyboard,USB-Mouse:Connect the supplied KVM CPU cable set to your CPU (KVM.- Switch, etc.). Please ensure that the connection is tension-free! Devices ACS4022A + ACS4222A

•DVI: Connect the supplied DVI CPU cable set to your CPU (KVM.- Switch, etc.). Please ensure that the connection is tension-free! Devices ACS2228A + ACS4222A

•Fiber Cable: Two strands of fiber are required for singlehead devices, four strands for Dualhead devices.

Please note, that the allowed distance will depend on device type AND on used fiber type.

• Recommended cables:

 

 

ACSxxxxA-MM: Multimode type 50/125µ

allowed distance app. 400m

(1,300ft)

ACSxxxxA-MM: Multimode type 62.5/125µ

allowed distance app. 200m

(650ft)

ACSxxxxA-SM: Singlemode type 9/125µ

allowed distance app. 10km (32,750ft)

A point to point connection is required. Having one or more patch panels in the line is possible and allowed. Not allowed is a connection from the Fiber link interface (LC) to any other products, especially telecommunications or network equipment.

Our experiences show, that Singlemode devices regularly work well on Multimode Fibers where vice versa it will never do. In addition we found, that Singlemode devices on Multimode fibers may extend the allowed distance on Multimode fibers to twice the regular length. Anyway this cannot be guaranteed and must be evaluated by the end-user at his own expense.

•Power Supply

Connect the supplied 5V/DC power supplies to the Plug terminal on the rear of both Local and Remote units.
