Devices up to 100m

Introduction
The SL-DKAU-100 DVI Extender over IP or Cat 5 can
extend your DVI monitor, USB keyboard, USB mouse,
audio and two other USB 2.0 devices such as an external
HDD, flash drive or printer up to 100m away from your
computer over a single CAT 5 or CAT 6 UTP cable.
You can connect the Transmitter unit directly to the
Receiver unit using a single inexpensive CATx UTP cable.
You can also use your existing cabling infrastructure and
connect via a standard Gigabit Ethernet Switch.
Since the DVI signal is interoperable with the HDMI
signal, you can use this DVI KVM Extender to extend
your HDMI display using optional DVI to HDMI
adapters.

Pre-Installation
Before you install CAT5 DVI KVM Extender, you should
have these items on the checklist ready:
1. Prepare 1 set of keyboard, mouse & DVI monitor for
remote console (on RX).
2. You should use standard keyboards and mice, since
the CAT5 KVM extender supports only standard 5
button mice and keyboards. Any more advanced
mouse/keyboard function may or may not be
supported by this CAT5 DVI KVM extender.
3. Use good quality CATx UTP cable (max 100m).
Please Note: Good quality cable will give better video
outcome over a longer distance.
4. The choice of path of the CATx UTP cable should not
only take into account the shortest possible path, but
also one that is relatively far away from any significant
electromagnetic interference source.
5. If you need to extend the distance more than 100m,
you can use a Gigabit Ethernet Switch to serve as a
bridge and extend the distance an additional 100m.
6. There should be power outlets near where you locate
the extenders.
7. Plan the path through which the CATx UTP cable will
be deployed across the distance between the
Transmitter and the Receiver. You should choose the
layout path based on the shortest length and with the
least electromagnetic interference
If you already have a Gigabit Ethernet Network
installed, you can connect the Transmitter and
Receiver via your Gigabit Switch to utilize your existing
infrastructure. A 10/100Mbps network switch will suffer
undue latency and is therefore not recommended for
use.
