146 DOMINION KX II USER GUIDE
Target Server Connection Distance and Video Resolution
The maximum supported distance is a function of many factors including the type/quality of Cat
5 cable, server type and manufacturer, video driver and monitor, environmental conditions, and
user expectations. The following table summarizes the maximum target server distance for
various video resolutions and refresh rates:
VIDEO RESOLUTION REFRESH RATE MAXIMUM DISTANCE
1600x1200 60 50 ft (15 m)
1280x1024 60 100 ft (30 m)
1024x768 60 150 ft (45 m)
The use of Paragon CIMs will not increase the distance between the Dominion KX II and the
target server.
Due to the multiplicity of server manufacturers and types, OS versions, video drivers, etc. and the
subjective nature of video quality, Raritan cannot guarantee performance across all distances in
all environments.
Refer to the Supported Video Resolutions for the video resolutions supported by Dominion KX II.

Legend:
Does not function, as expected
Supported
Functions; not recommended
NOT supported by Ethernet specification; product will communicate, but collisions will occur
Per Ethernet specification, these should be “no communication”, however, note that the Dominion
KX II behavior deviates from expected behavior
Note: For reliable network communication, configure the Dominion KX II and the LAN switch to
the same LAN Interface Speed and Duplex. For example, configure both the KX II and LAN
Switch to Autodetect (recommended) or set both to a fixed speed/duplex such as 100Mbps/Full.
