INTRODUCTION
The ST-C5USBV USB Extender 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 1000 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.
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 up to 1024 x 768 /60Hz @ 1000 feet,
1280 x 1024 /60Hz @ 700 feet,
1600 x 1200 /60Hz @ 500 feet, and
1920 x 1440 /60Hz @ 300 feet using CAT5 UTP cable.
• Provides crisp and clear resolution up to 1024 x 768 /60Hz @ 600 feet,
1280 x 1024 /60Hz @ 500 feet,
1600 x 1200 /60Hz @ 400 feet, and
• Provides crisp and clear resolution up to 1024 x 768 /60Hz @ 800 feet,
1280 x 1024 /60Hz @ 700 feet,
1600 x 1200 /60Hz @ 600 feet, and
1920 x 1440 /60Hz @ 500 feet using CAT6 UTP cable.
• Video quality adjustment is automatic providing optimum image quality for varying lengths of cable.
• 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
1920 x 1440 /60Hz @ 300 feet using CAT5 STP cable.
Types of User Input Devices Supported:
• XGA, VGA, and SVGA systems
• All NTI USB switches
• Microsoft, Logitech or Kensington Wheelmouse or Trackball on MAC CPUs with manufacturer's drivers
• USB keyboard with Windows
• USB keyboard with SUN layout
• USB keyboard with MAC layout
• USB Mouse - (up to 3 buttons)

Limitations
• The ST-C5USBV USB Extender will only work with USB keyboards and mice, other USB devices are not supported.
• PS/2 devices can be connected to the ST-C5USBV USB Extender through an NTI USB-PS/2 adapter, however the
translation keys described on page 12 will not function in this application.
• The ST-C5USBV USB Extender can be used between a cascadable NTI switch and a CPU although the cascading features
will not function.
