Cable requirements
MultiStation connects to a computer with a computer (CPU) adapter cable
and to each keyboard, video monitor, and mouse with a Keyboard-Video-
Mouse (KVM) adapter cable. These cables are most commonly purchased
with the MultiStation and will provide quick and trouble-free operation.
Appendix C lists the most common cables.
A distance of up to 100 feet from the CPU or KVM ports is supported with our
extended distance cabling. To reach even longer distances or for special
applications our ViewLink™ product can be used to reach a distance of up to
250 feet.
The MLK-2U distributed units can have a distance of as much as 250’
between them. You will need the proper cable to interconnect the units.
