Note: Shielded
CAT 5,5e, or 6 cable must be used to connect to LOCAL and REMOTE units in order to meet CE emission
and immunity requirements.
Note: CATx 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 CATX cable could be dangerous and will void the warranty.
WARNING: The CATx connection cable used between NTI XTENDEX Series Local and Remote or any XTENDEX Series
products must be wired straight through (pin 1 to pin 1, pin 2 to pin 2, etc.) The use of a CROSSOVER CABLE will
damage the extender and void your warranty.

External Ground
This product is equipped with grounding hardware to prevent interference
from sources of electrical noise that could interfere with the normal operation
of the XTENDEX or damage it. Use either the crimp-on lug or solder terminal
to secure a properly grounded wire (connected to earth ground) to the

NTI XTENDEX 600 Foot Extenders
INTRODUCTION
The XTENDEX Series CAT5 Extender (XTENDEX) is designed to enable one CPU to be controll ed by two users, one local and
one remote. The remote user can be located as much as 600 feet away from a PS/2 CPU via Category 5/5e/6 (CATx)
unshielded twisted-pair cable. The local user will be located near the CP U.
Options:
Local Supporting Two Remotes- The XTENDEX series 600 foot PS/2 extender is available supporting two Remote Units from a
single Local Unit if needed. See chart below for available models and features. When ordering the XTENDEX with dual Remote
support, Remote Units are ordered separately.
The XTENDEX Series Extender is extremely simple to install and has been thoroughly tested to insure reliab le p erformance.
Through the use of Category 5\5e\6 cable it is possible to economically increase the flexibility of a computer system. Here are
some of the features and ways this can benefit any workplace:
Allows the placement of computer peripherals (monitor, keyboard, and mouse) in a location wh ere
only these parts are needed without having the CPU there too, taking up valuable space
Allows a PS/2 CPU to be accessed by both a local and remote user (up to 600 feet awa y)(most models-see chart below)
Compatible with XGA and VGA systems
Provides crisp and clear resolution up to 1024 x 768 @ 600 feet (see pa ge 21 for more details)
Compatible with all NTI switches and splitters, enabling the joining of products to create a system that
satisfies all networking needs
Video quality adjustment, for varying lengths of cable, is automatic (most models, see below and
page 20) providing optimum image quality
Audio frequency response is 20Hz to 20Khz, + 1dB (models with audio s upport only)
Digital transmission of audio signals reduces any loss in quality (models with audio support only)
This manual covers each of the XTENDEX Series CAT5-600 Extender models offered. Some features described in this manual
are available in some models and not in others. The chart below shows the features supported in each:

Note: If two users will be connected (one local and one remote), two of the cables without the “MM”
(i.e. VMCTINT-xx) will be needed.

LIMITATIONS
Hot-plugging of devices is supported provided devices were originally conn ected at power-up.
In order for two users to share a PS/2 CPU, the user in control must pause for at least 3 seconds before another user can
take control. After the 3 second pause, either user can take control of the CPU.
For models with RS232 support:
The RS232 ports on the Local and Remote Units will support serial devices other than touchscreen monitors as follows:
2 simple devices (i.e. mice) connected to each
1 complex device (i.e. serial modem, RS232 command port on an NTI switch) connected to
either
In order for two users to share a PS/2 CPU, the user in control must pause for at least 3 seconds before another user can
take control. After the 3 second pause, either user can take control of the CPU.
The RS232 port supports all baud rates up to 56K bits per second and the attached CPU must be configured accordingly.
For models with audio support:
The audio input of the XTENDEX with audio support is compatible with the following standard CPU aud io outputs:
