Cables
Š Although it is possible to use standard KVM cables to link computers with
PS/2 type keyboard and mouse ports to the CE-300L, for optimum signal
integrity and to simplify the layout, we strongly recommend that you use
the high quality custom KVM cable sets provided with this package.
Š It is not possible to use standard KVM cables to link computers with AT
type keyboard and mouse ports to the CE-300L. For those computers,
custom KVM cable sets must be used. Contact your dealer for details.
Š Category 5 cable is the minimum required to connect the local and remote
CE-300 units. Cable of a lesser standard will result in degraded video
signals. For best performance, we strongly recommend Category 5 cable.
