Cables
Although it is possible to use standard extender cables to link
computers with PS/2 type keyboard and mouse ports to the
B013-000 Local, for optimum signal integrity and to simplify the
layout, we strongly recommend that you use the high quality CS
Custom KVM Cable that is provided with this package.
It is not possible to use standard extender cables to link computers
with AT type keyboard and mouse ports to the B013-000 Local.
For those computers, using CS Custom KVM Cables must be used.
Category 5 STP cable is required to connect the local and remote
B013-000 units. Using cable of a lesser standard will result in
degrading the video signal.
