2 Safety Instructions
To ensure reliable and safe long-term operation of your Extender please
note the following guidelines:
Installation
Only use in dry, indoor environments.
The Extender and the power supply units can get warm. Do not
situate them in an enclosed space without any airflow.
Do not place the power supply directly on top of the device.
Do not obscure ventilation holes.
Only use power supplies originally supplied with the product or
manufacturer-approved replacements. 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 connect the link interface to any other equipment, particularly
network or telecommunications equipment.
Take any required ESD precautions.
Repair
Do not attempt to open or repair a power supply unit.
Do not attempt to open or repair the Extender. There are no user
serviceable parts inside.

3.1 Application
The Extender is used to increase the distance between a source
(computer, CPU) and its console (keyboard, mouse, and other peripheral
devices).
The Extender is designed for use with Cat X (Twisted Pair) interconnect
cables.
The Extender is unsuitable for connection between buildings where a fiber
optic based product should be used instead.
