How to Install Your SOHO KVM Switch
Pre-Configuration
Where to Place the SOHO KVM Switch
The compact size of the SOHO KVM Switch makes it perfect for desktop
placement. Consider the following when deciding where to place the SOHO KVM
Switch: the length of the cables attached to your keyboard, mouse, and monitor;
the location of your computers from your console; and the length of the cables you
use to connect your computers to the SOHO KVM Switch.
Cable Distance Requirements
DVI/USB signals are the strongest when transmitted up to 15 feet between the
SOHO KVM Switch and the computer. Beyond 15 feet, probability of signal
degradation increases, which can cause the device to fail.
Warning! Avoid having cables near fluorescent lights, air conditioning equipment,
or machines that create electrical noise (e.g., vacuum cleaners).
