NTI XTENDEX 600 Foot Extenders
INTRODUCTION
The XTENDEX Series CAT5 Extender (XTENDEX) is designed to enable one CPU to be controlled 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 unshielded twistedpair cable. The local user will be located near the CPU.
Option:
Rackmount Modules- The XTENDEX Series CAT5 Extenders can be ordered as rackmount modules (Remote and/or Local
Units)- add “M” to the model number (i.e. ST-C5KVM-600M). When ordering rackmount modules, also order the ST-C5RCK-12
Rackmount Extender Module Tray (see page 16).
The XTENDEX Series Extender is extremely simple to install and has been thoroughly tested to insure reliable performance.
Through the use of Category 5 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 where
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 away)
• Compatible with XGA, VGA, and SVGA systems
• Provides crisp and clear resolution up to 1024 x 768 @ 600 feet (see page 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, +
• 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:

LIMITATIONS
• Hot-plugging of devices is supported provided devices were originally connected 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 audio outputs:
• To connect the ST-C5SVA-600 to a CPU, it may be necessary to use an RCA phono-to-3.5mm stereo jack adapter
• The audio output of the XTENDEX with audio support is compatible with self-powered stereo speakers.
the Remote or Local Unit.
• Line out - typically lime green in color
• Speaker out- typically orange in color
• Headphone out- typically located on the CD-ROM
unit, or
PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION
• Locations should be chosen for the monitors, mice, and keyboards that also have space to connect the Remote and Local
Units within the distance provided by the cables. If extension cables are needed, contact NTI for the cables required.
• The CAT5 cables must be run to the locations where the Remote and Local Units will be connected. 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.).
• All cables should be installed in such a way that they do not cause 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
minimize this.
• Properly shut down and disconnect the power from the CPU and monitors to be separated. 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.
