APPENDIX B: Cable Product Codes

Appendix B: Cable Product Codes

The table below and on the following pages lists the product codes for all the types of cables we currently offer for use with the Matrix ServSwitch. The four digits that follow the dash in each product code indicate how long each cable is in feet

(one foot = 30.5 cm).

For most of these cables, xxx’s are shown in place of the last three digits of the product code because the cables come in several stock lengths. For original (standard) CPU and User cables, these last three digits can be “001” (User Cables only), “005,” “010,” or “020” for 1-foot (0.3-m), 5-foot (1.5-m), 10-foot (3-m) or

20-foot (6.1-m) cables respectively. For coaxial cables, these last three digits can be “005,” “010,” “020,” “035,” “050,” “075,” or “100” for 5-foot (1.5-m), 10-foot (3-m), 20-foot (6.1-m), 35-foot (10.7-m), 50-foot (15.2-m), 75-foot (22.9-m), or 100-foot (30.5-m) cables respectively.

You’ll also see the product codes for the Station Extender and CAT5 KVM Extender equipment listed at the end of this appendix. Depending on your equipment and the video resolution you’re using, you might be able to use the Extenders to connect the Matrix ServSwitch to a CPU or user station as much as 1000 ft. (300 m) away.

If your Matrix ServSwitch system has cabling requirements that can’t be met by what you see here, call Black Box for a possible quote on custom cables or adapters.
