Consider the following when deciding where to place the Belkin
Advanced Secure Windowing KVM:
• User access to the front-panel push buttons is typically not
required as all user controls are available through the mouse and
indications available on screen.
• Keyboard and mouse cable length. Cables typically may be
extended to a distance of 4.6 meters (15 feet).
• Display cable length. The Belkin Advanced Secure Windowing
KVM may be extended to around 10 meters without video quality
degradation (depends on display and cable quality and must be
tested prior to fixed installation).
• The location of the computers in relation to the KVM and the
length of available KVM cables (typically 1.8 meters)
note:
Due to USB and DVI signal limitations, the KVM cable length
cannot exceed 4.6 meters (15 feet) unless an active extender is used.
Warning:
Avoid placing cables near fluorescent lights, air-
conditioning equipment, RF equipment or machines that create
electrical noise (e.g., vacuum cleaners)
