Belkin F1D084vea2

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 300 feet (91m).

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. The

following sections (pages 9–11) provide complete instructions for the

hardware setup of a CAT5 Extender (F1D084vea2).
