Cables
To guarantee video quality we recommend using only ATEN DisplayPort
KVM cables. Two (CS1922ATC) or four (CS1924ATC) cables are provided
with this package.
Note: 1. The video quality displayed is affected by the quality and length of the
cables you use. We recommend the total length from the source to the
monitor not exceed 3 meters. If you need additional cable sets, please
contact your dealer to purchase ATEN approved cables.
2. If you use DisplayPort cables that are DP 1.1 compliant, make sure
the DisplayPort setting on the monitor is set to auto or DP 1.1.
