The console switch offers optimum video performance when the distance between the server and console switch is 22.9 m (75 ft) or less at video resolutions 1280 x 1024 at 75 Hz. The system is capable of operation at distances up to 30.5 m (100 ft) at reduced video resolutions 800 x 640 at 60 Hz, worst case.
