INTRODUCTION
The ST-C5USBV-300 USB Extender (XTENDEX) is designed to enable the relocation of a monitor, USB keyboard, and USB
mouse from a USB CPU or NTI USB KVM switch by as much as 300 feet via CAT5 cable in addition to having a monitor, USB
keyboard, and USB mouse connected locally. It is extremely simple to install and has been thoroughly tested to insure reliable
performance. Through the use of Category 5 shielded or unshielded twisted-pair cable (STP/UTP) or Category 6 unshielded
twisted-pair cable (UTP), it is possible to economically increase the flexibility of a computer system.
Options:
Audio Support

Features
• Allows the placement of a monitor, USB keyboard, and USB mouse in a location where only these
parts are needed without having the CPU there too, taking up valuable space and adding to room noise.
• Provides crisp and clear resolution when used in accordance with the chart below:
CAT5/5eSTP CAT5/5E/6 UTP cable
Resolution Cable length Resolution Cable length
1024 x 768 /60Hz 300 feet 1024 x 768 /60Hz 300 feet
1280 x 1024 /60Hz 150 feet 1600 x 1200 /60Hz 150 feet
• Video quality is easily adjusted using keyboard controls
• Installation can be between a CPU and devices (keyboard, mouse, and monitor), between a CPU and
NTI USB switch, or between a NTI USB switch and devices.
• Allows hot-plugging of keyboards and mice
• DDC Support (Local monitor only)
1600 x 1200 /60Hz 100 feet 1920 x 1440 /60Hz 100 feet
Types of User Input Devices Supported:
• Compatible with all video resolutions up to WUXGA (dependant upon CAT5/5e/6 extension distance)
• All NTI USB switches
• Microsoft, Logitech or Kensington Wheelmouse or Trackball on MAC CPUs with manufacturer's drivers
• USB keyboard with Windows® layout
• USB keyboard with SUN layout
• USB keyboard with MAC layout
• USB Mouse - (up to 3 buttons)
• USB IntelliMouse® (scrollwheel)

Operating Systems Supported
• Windows 98SE • Linux 7.1 2.2 Kernel or greater
• Windows 2000 • Sun-Solaris 8 or greater
• Windows ME • MAC OS 9.1 or greater
• Window XP • HP UNIX J5000
• Window Vista • Free BSD
Limitations
• The XTENDEX will only work with USB keyboards and mice, other USB devices are not supported.
• PS/2 devices can be connected to the XTENDEX through an NTI USB-PS/2 adapter, however the translation keys described
on page 15 will not function in this application.
• The XTENDEX can be used between two cascaded NTI switches, but the master switch in the configuration will not be able
to list the CPUs connected to the extended slave. The OSD menu in the extended slave would have to be used to monitor
CPUs connected to it. (This can be done by configuring command mode for the slave switch with an Alternate OSD
Command Sequence).

PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION
• A location should be chosen for the monitor, mouse, and keyboard that also has space to mount the Remote Unit within the
distance provided by the cables from the monitor, mouse, and keyboard. If extension cables are needed, contact NTI for the
cables required. If a local user will be connected, a proper location must be chosen for these devices too.
• The CAT5 cable(s) must be run to the locations where the Remote and Local Units will be placed. Be careful to route the
cables away from any sources of magnetic fields or electrical interference that might reduce the quality of the video signal
(i.e. AC motors, welding equipment, etc.).
outlets, it will be necessary to obtain male-to-male straight through connection cables long enough to reach from the wall
outlets to the mounting locations of the Remote and Local Units.
• A properly grounded, polarized, and preferably surge-protected 120V or 240V electrical outlet (depending on the AC adapter
being used) must be installed close enough to the mounting location of the Remote Unit and monitor to plug them into.
• All cables should be installed in a fashion that will avoid stress on their connections to the equipment. Extended lengths of
cable hanging from a connection may interfere with the quality of that connection. Secure cables as needed to prevent this.
• Properly shut down and disconnect the power of the CPU and monitor. Disconnect the monitor, keyboard, and mouse. If
other equipment is involved whose connections are being interrupted, be sure to refer to the instruction manuals for that
equipment for proper disconnection and re-connection procedures before proceeding.
Note: CAT5 connection cable used between NTI XTENDEX Series Local and Remote or any XTENDEX Series products
should not be run underground, outdoors or between buildings.
!
WARNING: Outdoor or underground runs of CAT5 cable could be dangerous and will void the warranty.
NOTE: If CAT5 cable is already installed in the wall and there are RJ45 wall

INSTALLATION
The Local Unit
Connect to the CPU
1. Plug the cables of the Local Unit into the back of the CPU. (See Fig. 1.)
a) Connect the blue 15HD cable from the Local Unit to the female VGA port on the back of the CPU.
b) Connect the USB Type A cable from the Local Unit to a female USB Type A port on the back of the CPU.
Note: If a SUN CPU is being connected, depending upon the video connector of the SUN CPU, it may be necessary to
attach an NTI #13W3M-15HDF (SUN video port-to-VGA adapter) to the video port on the CPU first, and then connect the
video cable to the adapter.
USB CPU

c) If the Local Unit has Audio support (ST-C5USBVA-300 only), connect the black 3.5mm stereo plug into the "line
out", "speaker", or "headphones" jack on the back of the CPU. (See Fig. 2)
Notes:
If all 3 jacks are available, use the jack marked "line out".
The "line out" jack is typically lime green and may be marked with this symbol
The "speaker" jack is typically orange, and may be marked with this symbol
The "headphones" jack may be marked with this symbol
