49 ORION XTENDER INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONS MANUAL
Interconnect Cable
CATx
A point-to-point connection is required. Operation with several patch fields is possible. Routing over an active
network component, such as an Ethernet Hub, Router or Matrix, is not allowed.
 Avoid routing CATx cables along power cables.
 If the site has 3-phase AC power, try to ensure that Transmitter unit and Transmitter unit are on the same
phase. Tov maintain regulatory EMC compliance, correctly installed shielded CATx cable must be used
throughout the interconnection link. To maintain regulatory EMC compliance, all CATx cables need to carry
ferrites on both cable ends close to the device.
Type of Interconnect Cable
The KVM Extender requires interconnect cabling specified for Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T). The use of
solid-core (AWG24), shielded, Cat 5e (or better) is recommended.
The use of flexible cables (patch cables) type AWG26/8 are possible, however the maximum possible
extension distance is halved.
