Introduction
The SV565DUTPU USB Dual VGA KVM Console Extender over CAT5 UTP lets you Operate a Dual VGA PC or KVM switch up to 650ft (200 m) away, as if it was installed locally, at high-denition 1920x1200 resolution. PC connection cables are included with this product for a ready to use solution.
The dual VGA Cat5 KVM extender supports easy to use hot-key and push button commands which allow you to switch between a locally connected system and your remote server or KVM, and works with virtually any standard USB keyboard and mouse including wireless sets. The hot-key commands also provide video adjustment controls for optimizing picture quality over varying distances. Extending over two standard Cat5 (or better) cables gives you the ability to use existing infrastructure wiring to achieve remote access to your server or KVM switch.
Backed by a StarTech.com 3-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.
Features
• Can be used with a single computer or connected to an existing dual-VGA KVM switch
• Easy installation using 2 industry-standard UTP network cables
• Intuitive hotkey commands
• Supports auto-switching between local and remote users or dedicated control
• USB computers are supported at the local and remote locations (USB keyboard and mouse required for remote console)
• Independently adjust video quality, inclusive of Equalizer (sharpness), Gain (brightness) and RGB skew
System Requirements
• 1 x integrated KVM cable each for the local and remote computers. Longer cables are available from StarTech.com, part numbers: SVECONx (PS/2), SVECONUSx (USB)
• 2x unshielded Category 5/5e/6 twisted pair (UTP) straight-through 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 network cable terminated at each end in two wall-mounted outlets, with two standard Category 5/5e/6 patch cables, at both locations (if using premises cabling)
Instruction Manual
1
NOTE: The total length of cable between the Local and Remote Units cannot exceed 650 feet (200 meters), including patch cables (if used). It is suggested using Cat5 cables with identical brand and length when connected simultaneously. Category 5e and 6
cabling is compatible with this product and may improve performance.
NOTE: Long cable lengths between the Local and Remote Units may adversely aect 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.
NOTE: This product will also control a KVM switch, allowing you to manage more than one computer remotely. In this conguration, you can connect the KVM extender’s Local Unit to the “console” ports on the KVM. You must use the provided power adapters if using this conguration. You should set the Local Unit to Compatibility Mode before connecting it to a KVM that uses the [Ctrl] key as its hotkey sequence; see
(Hotkey Commands) page 8 for details.

Connecting Your KVM Extender
Preparing Your Site
Before you can install the product, you need to prepare your site.
1. Determine where the local computer will be located and set up the computer.
2. Determine where the console devices (mouse, keyboard, monitor) will be located
and place them appropriately.
3. a) If you are using surface cabling, ensure you have enough Category 5 unshielded
twisted pair (UTP) network cabling to run two cables from the Local Unit to the Remote Unit’s location, and that each end is terminated with a RJ-45 connector.
OR
b) If you are using premises cabling, ensure that the Category 5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) network cabling between the Local Unit and the Remote Unit has been properly terminated into wall outlets in each location and there is a patch cable long enough to connect the Remote Unit and the Local Unit to their respective outlets.
