•DVI,
•DVI,
•DVI: Connect the supplied DVI CPU cable set to your CPU (KVM.- Switch, etc.). Please ensure that the connection is
•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: |

allowed distance app. 400m | (1,300ft) | |
allowed distance app. 200m | (650ft) | |
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
•Power Supply
Connect the supplied 5V/DC power supplies to the Plug terminal on the rear of both Local and Remote units.
