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- The ST-C5USBV-300 can be ordered to include support for extending self-powered stereo speakers by adding
“A” to the model number (i.e. ST-C5USBVA-300)
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
1600 x 1200 /60Hz 100 feet 1920 x 1440 /60Hz 100 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 (see page 13 for details)
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

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 configurat ion 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).
The XTENDEX Local with audio support must be used with a Remote with audio support, and a Local without audio support
must be used with a Remote without audio support. Locals and remotes with and without audio support cannot be mi xed.
A ST-C5USBV(A)-300 XTENDEX Local must be used with a ST-C5USBV(A)-300 Remote. The ST-C5USBV(A)-1000S
XTENDEX Local and Remote are not compatible with the ST-C5USBV(A)-300 Local and Remote.
