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
ACS2028A + ACS2228A
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
ACS4022A + ACS4222A
DVI: Connect the supplied DVI CPU cable set to your CPU (KVM.- Switch, etc.).
Please ensure that the connection is tension-free! Devices ACS2228A + ACS4222A
Fiber Cable: Two strands of fiber are required for singlehead devices, four strands for
Dualhead devices.
Please note, that the allowed distance will depend on device type AND on
used fiber 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
Fiber link interface (LC) to any other products, especially
telecommunications or network equipment.
Our experiences show, that Singlemode devices regularly work well on
Multimode Fibers where vice versa it will never do. In addition we found,
that Singlemode devices on Multimode fibers may extend the allowed
distance on Multimode fibers to twice the regular length. Anyway this
cannot be guaranteed and must be evaluated by the end-user 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.
