Voyager Micro
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Voyager Micro. This product will allow you to place your Monitor and
PS/2 Keyboard and PS/2 Mouse up to 70 meters away from your computer or KVM switch.
The Voyager Micro is available in two models PS/2 and USB. All models of the Voyager Micro require
that that the keyboard and mouse that you will use be PS/2 type.
The USB model supports Windows 98 and later, SUN, SGI, MAC and other operating systems that
support a USB interface.

¾Up to 1600 x 1200 @ 75Hz (depending on distance).
¾Advanced CAT5 technology.
¾Plug-and-play installation.
¾No additional software is required for operation.
¾Transmitter available in PS/2 and USB
Operation
The Voyager Micro is simple to install, no software is required. Just connect the units up as described
in quick setup system guide and you're ready to work. Switch the computer off before wiring up the
units.
Installation
Before connecting your computer to the Voyager Micro Transmitter unit, please ensure that your
computer is powered off.
Connect your console devices to the Voyager Micro Receiver unit.
Cable Requirements
The Voyager Micro Transmitter unit will connect to your PCs system unit. Your keyboard, monitor and
mouse will connect to the cable sockets on the end of the Voyager Micro Receiver unit.
The UTP / STP interconnect cable to connect the Voyager Micro’s Transmitter and Receiver unit is not
supplied with the Voyager Micro. If you do not have suitable CAT 5, 6 or 7 UTP or STP cable
available, please consult your dealer.
The Transmitter and Receiver units are connected by industry standard structured cabling (Category
5, 6 or 7 UTP/STP, 4-pair) terminated with RJ45 connectors.
The cable used should be solid trunk cable. Stranded patch cable will give poor results over longer
distances. The connector wiring must meet the EIA/TIA 568 standard.
CAT5 Wiring Scheme
The Transmitter Receiver interconnection cable is terminated in RJ45 connectors and should be wired
according to the EIA/TIA 568 (Scheme B preferred) industry standard. The Voyager may function with
other wiring schemes, but the video quality may be impaired.
Note: The Voyager Micro Receiver requires power. Use only the power supply unit
supplied with the Voyager Micro units.
Note: Failure to wire the twisted pairs correctly will impair the video quality dramatically
and / or prevent correct operation.

Orientation: Looking into the RJ45 socket pin 1 is on the left and pin 8 on the right.
