Pre-Configuration
Where to Place the Switch
The Switch is designed for positioning on the desktop. The exact placement will be based on the location of your CPUs and length of your cables.
Cable Distance Requirements
VGA signals are best retained when transmitted up to eight feet. Beyond eight feet, probability of video degradation increases with an increase in distance. For this reason, your USB computer should be placed within eight feet of the KVM Switch.
Cautions and Warnings
Avoid placing cables near fluorescent lights, air conditioning equipment, or machines that create electrical noise (e.g., vacuum cleaners).
