NOTE: The total length of cable between the Local and Remote Units cannot exceed 650 feet (200 meters), including patch cables (if used). It is suggested using Cat5 cables with identical brand and length when connected simultaneously. Category 5e and 6

cabling is compatible with this product and may improve performance.

NOTE: Long cable lengths between the Local and Remote Units may adversely affect image quality at high resolutions and refresh rates. If you need to run your remote displays at high resolutions and frequencies, use as little cabling between locations as possible and avoid practices such as “coiling” unused cable in a ceiling.

NOTE: This product will also control a KVM switch, allowing you to manage more than one computer remotely. In this configuration, you can connect the KVM extender’s Local Unit to the “console” ports on the KVM. You must use the provided power adapters if using this configuration. You should set the Local Unit to Compatibility Mode before connecting it to a KVM that uses the [Ctrl] key as its hotkey sequence; see
