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
Fibre Cable: Two strands of fibre are required for singlehead devices, four strands for
Dualhead devices.
Please note, that the allowed distance will depend on device type AND on
used fibre type.
Recommended cables:
ACSxxxxA-MM: Multimode type 50/125µ allowed distance app. 400m (1,300ft)
ACSxxxxA-MM: Multimode type 62.5/125µ allowed distance app. 200m (650ft)
ACSxxxxA-SM: Singlemode type 9/125µ allowed distance app. 10km (32,750ft)
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
Fibre link interface (LC) to any other products, especially
telecommunications or network equipment.
Our experiences show, that Singlemode devices regularily work well on
Multimode Fibres where vice versa it will never do. In addition we found,
that Singlemode devices on Multimode fibres may extend the allowed
distance on Multimode fibres to twice the regular length. Anyway this
cannot be guranteed and must be evaluated by the enduser at his own
expense.
Power Supply
Connect the supplied 5V/DC power supplies to the Plug terminal on the rear of both
Local and Remote units.
