Table 4-2. Video Quality vs. Distance for Coaxial Cables

SERVSWITCH™ JR. MP

By contrast, coaxial cables (required for XGA applications, and recommended for most other applications) do much better at maintaining video quality, as shown in Table 4-2. (For the meaning of quality numbers 3, 2, and 1, see the bottom of the previous page.) As before, the distances in the table are total cable lengths measured from the CPU to the monitor.

CAUTION!

Some CPUs can’t drive or receive keyboard and mouse signals across longer runs of coaxial cable. Consult with the manufacturers of your CPUs before installing this cable in lengths greater than 20 ft. (6.1 m).

For CPU-to-monitor distances over 200 feet (61 m), Station Extenders or CAT5 KVM Extenders might be required. Call Black Box for technical support to discuss this option.
