INTRODUCTION
The ST-C5USBV-1000S HI-RES VGA USB KVM 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 1000 feet via CAT5/5e/6 cable. The option
to extend stereo audio speakers, USB touch screen monitor, CAC card reader, or SMART Board is also available. Additionally,
all extended components can be connected locally. It is extremely simple to instal l and has been thoroughly tested to insure
reliable performance. Through the use of Category 5/5e/6 shielded or unshielded twisted-pair cable (STP/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 1920 x 1200 /60Hz @ 1000 feet (see chart on page 19)
• Industry-leading ultra-high resolutions up to 2048x1536
• Video quality adjustment is automatic providing optimum image quality for varying lengths of cable. Manual fine
adjustments are made via keyboard commands.
• 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
• DDC2B support for local or remote monitor (user selectable)
• Available with optional stereo audio and/or additional USB port for remote and local user.
• For the additional USB port on the local unit, connect any type of USB device (fully transparent USB connection)
• For the additional USB port on the remote unit, use to connect a USB touch screen monitor, CAC
card reader, or SMART Board™ Interactive Whiteboard
• Firmware is field upgradeable via serial port (models with additional USB support only)
• USB ports support USB 2.0 (low/full speed) devices

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.). NOTE: If CAT5 cable is already installed in the wall and there are RJ45 wall
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 (de pending 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 ne eded 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 proce eding.
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.
