• Is it possible to use a cable length of more than 300m?
The Voyager has been designed to produce acceptable results with Super VGA
resolutions at the maximum cable length 400M. It may be possible to run up to 400
meters. The signal needs to bee restored. So the maximum is 400 m in 1024x768 at
75hZ. It depends on the cable quality. Cat 6 is designed for 200MHZ bandwidth Cat5
Works only in 100MHZ
• Why do I have a skew delay in my cables
The pairs inside the cable are twisted different to reduce cross talk. Cat6 use more twist
than cat5. When you increase the resolution the need for compensation raise.
Can Voyager units be chained to allow operation over more than 400m/1200ft?
Daisy chain gives delay on mouse and keyboard functions and equalisers is required. If
you plan to cascade units, please contact technical support to discuss your application.
• Can I add several working spots to one PC ?
Yes use one USB/PS2 converter for every local. The local units will obtain their own
HID number from the OS. Please remark USB dongels behave different and might not
work with the OS or the local unit. Please contact technical support to discuss your
application.
• Which cable is better UTP or STP?
UTP cable will give the best quality video over long distances because it has less
capacitance per unit length. However, STP may be a better choice in electrically noisy
environments.
• When using UTP what is the best way to ensure the system does not suffer from
any interference?
This product is designed to withstand high levels of interference whilst using UTP over
long distances. To further reduce the potential for interference consider the following:
a) Ensuring that the computer and remote monitor are both connected to the same
mains phase.
b) Ensuring that the AC voltage across the mains grounds (at the local PC & remote
monitor) is less than 2V.
c) Using a clean earth system (if your site has one installed).
d) Routing the interconnection cable away from other cables.
e) Trying STP cable if you think noise could be a problem.
• Is the Voyager suitable for use between buildings?
The Voyager does not have line isolation. Therefore, operation between buildings is not
recommended.
• Is the Voyager connectable to my network?
