3.2 Interconnection Cable Requirements
To connect the Local and Remote units you will need:
•
DVI, PS2-Keyboard, PS2-Mouse: Connect the supplied KVM CPU cable set to your 
CPU (KVM.- Switch, etc.). Please ensure that the connection is tension-free! Devices 
ACS1009A + ACS2209A 
•
DVI, USB-Keyboard, USB-Mouse: Connect the supplied KVM CPU cable set to your 
CPU (KVM.- Switch, etc.). Please ensure that the connection is tension-free! Devices 
ACS4001A + ACS4201A 
•
DVI: Connect the supplied DVI CPU cable set to your CPU (KVM.- Switch, etc.). 
Please ensure that the connection is tension-free! Devices ACS2209A + ACS4201A

CATx Cable: Recommended cable: S/UTP (Cat5) according EIA/TIA 56A, TSB 36 or 
Digital STP 17-03170. Four pairs AWG 24. connection according EIA/TIA 568A 
(10BaseT). Use of cables from a higher category (Cat5e, Cat6, Cat7) is possible. 
  
The use of unshielded CATx Cable is possible, because of the higher electromagnetic 
noise/sensitivity the device class may not be reached.  
 
The use of flexible Cables (Patch cable) Type AWG26/8 is possible. Because of the 
higher loss of the stranded cables, the maximum distance is reduced to app. half the 
olid cables.

A point to point connection is required. Having one or more patch panels 
in the line is possible and allowed. Not allowed is a connection from the 
CATx link interface (RJ45) to any other products, especially 
telecommunications or network equipment.
