Where to Place the KVM Switch:
The compact size of the OmniView SOHO Series KVM Switch makes
it perfect for desktop placement. Consider the following when
deciding where to place the KVM Switch: whether or not you intend
to use the manual push buttons for selecting ports; the length of the
cables attached to your keyboard, mouse, and monitor; the location
of your CPUs from your console; and the length of the cables you use
to connect your computers to the KVM.
Cable Distance Requirements:For PS/2 computers: VGA signals are
best retained when transmitted up to 25 feet (7.5m). Beyond 25 feet
(7.5m), probability of video degradation increases with an increase in
distance. For this reason, your PS/2 computer should be placed within
25 feet (7.5m) of the KVM Switch.
Note: If your computer needs to be more than 25 feet (7.5m) from
the KVM Switch, you can use the Belkin CAT5 Extender to
extend your PS/2 keyboard, PS/2 mouse, and monitor up to
500 feet (152.4m) away using standard CAT5 UTP cable.
For USB computers: USB signals are the strongest when transmitted
up to 15 feet (4.5m) between the KVM and the CPU. Beyond 15 feet
(4.5m), probability of signal degradation, which can cause the device
to fail, is likely.
Cautions and Warnings:
Avoid having cables near fluorescent lights, air conditioning
equipment, or machines that create electrical noise
(e.g., vacuum cleaners).
