Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a StarTech.com KVM extender. This product allows a computer to control a host system from a remote location at a distance of up to 500 feet (150 meters). For ease of installation, this product
uses standard Category 5, 5E, or 6 network cabling that fits easily into
almost any existing network infrastructure. For added versatility, the KVM
extender supports either PS/2 or USB computer interfaces. Console support is provided using standard USB and VGA connectors.
Features
Can be used with a single computer or connected to an existing KVM s
switch
Easy installation using industry-standard UTP network cables
Intuitive hotkey commandss
Supports auto-switching between host and remote users or dedicated s
control
USB computers are supported at the host and remote locations (USB s
keyboard and mouse required for remote console)
System Requirements
1 x integrated KVM cable each for the host and remote computers.
Longer cables are available from StarTech.com, part numbers: SVECONx
(PS/2), SVECONUSx (USB)
Unshielded Category 5/5e/6 twisted pair (UTP) straight-through s
network cable terminated at each end with RJ-45 connectors (if using
surface cabling)
OR
Unshielded Category 5/5e/6 twisted pair (UTP) straight-through s

Instruction Manual
cannot exceed 500 feet (150 meters), including patch cables (if used).
Category 5e and 6 cabling is compatible with this product and may improve performance.
NOTE: Long cable lengths between the Host and Remote Units may
adversely affect image quality at high resolutions and refresh rates. If you
need to run your remote displays at high resolutions and frequencies, use
as little cabling between locations as possible and avoid practices such as
“coiling” unused cable in a ceiling.
This product will also control a KVM switch, allowing you to manage more
than one computer remotely. In this configuration, you can connect the
KVM extender’s Host Unit to the “console” ports on the KVM. You must
use the provided power adapters if using this configuration. You should
set the Host Unit to Compatibility Mode before connecting it to a KVM that
uses the [Ctrl] key as its hotkey sequence; see page 8 for details.
