Figure 3-1. The ServSwitch Duo cables.

Next, connect each computer or (in cascaded systems) subsidiary ServSwitch Duo to your single/master Switch. One way to do this is to run separate male-to- male keyboard-, mouse-, and video-extension cables from the appropriate CPU- port connectors on the single/master Switch to (a) the keyboard, mouse, and video ports respectively of the computer or (b) the keyboard, mouse, and monitor connectors respectively of control port A or B of the subsidiary Switch. (Any unused CPU-port or control-port connectors on the single/master Switch can be left vacant.) Alternatively, instead of three separate cables, you can use our three- in-one ServSwitch Duo CPU-Extension Cable (our product code EHN408), whose design is shown in Figure 3-1 above. This cable is available in 5-foot (1.5-m), 10-foot (3-m), 30-foot (10-m), 50-ft. (15-m), and 100-ft. (30-m) lengths.
