3. Installation
• Power off all devices that will be connected to this system.
The LEDs on the Extender Units show the real-time status indicating the linking and
communication between the Console Unit and Computer Unit. Users can identify the present
status through the LED indicator on the top. See Figures 2-3 and 2-6 and Tables 2-1 and 2-2.

• Make sure that all devices you will connect are properly grounded.

• Place units away from fluorescent lights, air conditioners, and machines that are likely to
generate electrical noise.
The quality of the output signal will depend largely upon the quality of video source, cable,
and display device used. Low-quality cables degrade the output signal causing elevated noise
levels. Use the proper cable and make sure the display device can handle the resolution and
refresh rate selected.
• Determine where the Console Unit and the Computer Unit will be located.
Using fiber optic cable, place a computer up to
3280 feet (1000 m) away from a console.
• Use SC to SC duplex single-mode fiber optic cable (8–10 µm) for the interconnection between
Console Unit and Computer Unit.
5. Application Diagram
• Make sure that the fiber cable length is long enough for the connection between the Console
Unit and the Computer Unit to prevent having to splice fiber.

Description
1. Users may need to order appropriate cable lengths conforming to the application environment;
however, the maximum cable length should not exceed 3200 ft. (1000 meters). Otherwise, the
video resolution signal may degrade.

2. Do not exceed the cable bend radius. Fiber optic cable can break when kinked or bent too
tightly, especially during pulling.

3. Do not twist the cable. Twisting the cable can stress the fibers. Tension on the cable and
pulling ropes can cause twisting.

CAUTION: Do not look into the ends of any fiber optic cables. You might be exposed to harmful
invisible laser radiation.
Flashing yellow: Link OK
4. Follow the cable manufacturer's recommendations. Fiber optic cable is often custom designed
for the installation, and the manufacturer may have specific instructions on its installation.

Users can connect the video source and keyboard and mouse ports to the Computer Unit;
connect the keyboard, mouse, and monitor to the Console Unit; and use an SC to SC duplex
fiber optic cable for the SC-SC fiber port connection between the Console Unit and the
Computer Unit. After all device connections are completed, connect the provided power cord
into an appropriate power source and plug the opposite end into the power connector on the
Unit to power up.
