DVI-D CATX SWITCH/SPLITTER

Welcome to the CATX DVI-D Family!

Thank you for purchasing a CATX DVI-D Switch! We appreciate your business, and we

think you’ll appreciate the many ways that your CATX DVI-D system will save you money,

time, and effort.

The CATX DVI-D Switch offers three fundamental uses:

• As a Multiplex Repeater: the DVI signals (+optional audio) coming from a signal

source are equalized and distributed on up to 7 equivalent outputs. A control is not

necessary. Distributed display systems can be realized (Digital Signage).

• As an 8-port Crosspoint Switch: each port can be switched optionally as an input or

output. You can, for example, switch and distribute the signals from 3 signal

sources on up to 5 displays (allowing simultaneous presentations on several

displays). Alternatively, signals coming from 7 signal sources can be switched in

turn to a single display. The changeover can be triggered remotely using the serial

interface (RS232) and/or by a push-button at the device.

• As a 7-port KVM Switch: up to 7 Singlehead ports (a “Singlehead” extender system

supports 1x monitor, 1x keyboard, 1x mouse) or up to 3 Dualhead ports (a

Dualhead extender system supports 2x monitor, 1x keyboard, 1x mouse). The

changeover can be triggered remotely using the serial interface (RS232) and/or by a

push-button at the device.

Cascade multiple devices in two stages for all applications to give up to 49/1 connections.

The CATX DVI-D Switch has the advantage that it can be positioned up to 140m away from

both your signal source and display device. This becomes possible by using the proven

CATX DVI-D- Extender technology for the transmission of DVI- Monitor and USB-

Keyboard and Mouse signals over CATx- cable.

The operation of a CATX DVI-D Switch always requires at least one Local Unit and up to

seven Remote Units from the CATX DVI-D-Extenders range.

DVI-D CATX SWITCH/SPLITTER

Wherever long distances cause problems for remotely locating and switching a monitor

(keyboard/mouse) signal, e.g. airports, industrial plants, call centres or in distributed

computer centres, the CATX DVI-D Switch is the best solution. Its flexibility allows it to

tackle many tasks.

In addition, there are 4 Media Extenders (DVI + optional audio) and 8 KVM- Extenders

(DVI+USB keyboard mouse + optional audio) available. The transmission of the signals

requires connecting CATx cable.

This manual will tell you all about your new CATX DVI-D Switch, including how to install,

operate and troubleshoot it. For an introduction to the Converter, see Chapter 2.

The management

This equipment has been found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,

pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable

protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial

environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if

not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful

interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is

likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the

interference at his own expense.

Safety Precautions and Installation Guidelines

To ensure reliable and safe long-term operation, please note the following installation

guidelines:

• Do not use CATx- devices to link between buildings – please use fibre devices.

• Only use in dry, indoor environments.

• If the building has 3-phase AC power, try to ensure that equipment connected to the

Local and Remote Units is on the same phase.

• Try not to route a CATx- link cable alongside power cables.

• The Remote Unit, Local Unit and any power supplies can get warm. Do not locate them

in an enclosed space without any airflow.

• Do not place a power supply directly on top of a unit.

• Do not obscure a unit’s ventilation holes.

To safeguard against personal injury and avoid possible

damage to equipment or property, please observe the

following:

• Only use power supplies originally supplied with the

product or manufacturer-approved replacements. Do not

attempt to dismantle or repair any power supply. Do not

use a power supply if it appears to be defective or has a

damaged case.

• Connect all power supplies to grounded outlets. In each

case, ensure that the ground connection is maintained

from the outlet socket through to the power supply’s AC

power input.

• Do not attempt to modify or repair this product, or make

a connection from the CATx- link interface (RJ45) to any

other products, especially telecommunications or

network equipment.
