Chapter 2: Overview

2. Overview

2.1 About the DVI-D and USB 2.0 Extender

The extender incorporates ServSwitch technology, enabling users to extend their video and USB up to 328 feet or 100 meters.

The product is designed as a remote desktop or KVM (keyboard, video, mouse) extender.

The instructions in this guide assume that you have a general knowledge of computer installation procedures, familiarity with

cabling requirements, and some understanding of USB devices.

NOTE: Notes provide additional information that could be useful.

CAUTION: Cautions provide important information about an operational requirement.

2.2 What’s Included

• (1) Local extender unit

• (1) Remote extender unit

• (2) 5-VDC power adapters

• (1) 6-foot (1.8-m) USB cable

• (1) 5-foot (1.5-m) DVI cable

• A quick start guide

NOTE: You can also access the electronic file for the complete user guide (the document you are reading now)

at www.blackbox.com.

NOTE: The product is a unique extender product and requires two power adapters, one for the local extender and one for the

remote extender.

2.3 Requirements

To complete the installation, you will also need the following items that are not included with the product:

• A computer with a DVI-D/DVI-I output

• USB 1.1 or 2.0 compatible computer (host computer) with a USB compliant operating system

• USB 1.1 or 2.0 compatible device(s)

• CAT5e UTP cable with two RJ-45 connectors (if using surface cabling) OR CAT5e cabling with two information outlets and two

CAT5e patch cords with RJ-45 connectors (if using premise cabling)

• DVI-D/DVI-I monitor and cable

NOTE: All references to CAT5e cable in this document refer to solid core and represent the minimum requirement.

We recommend that you use solid core CAT6/CAT7 STP for best performance.

2.4 Compatibility and Recommended Setup

The product is compatible with many graphics cards, operating systems, and monitors, and supports high definition video

resolutions. However, there is no guarantee that all devices will be compatible with the product, because there are a number of

different factors that may impact the operation of this KVM Extender.

This product supports both USB 1.1 and 2.0 devices. These devices include: keyboards, mice, flash drives, microphones, speakers,

printers, and USB 1.1 web cameras.

NOTE: USB 2.0 devices are limited to 40 Mbps of throughput. As a result, not all USB 2.0 devices will reach full performance.
