specifications

IMPORTANT NOTE

The maximum cable lengths supported vary widely between devices and

cables. It may be possible to use cables that are longer than those specified

below with certain PCs and peripherals but this cannot be guaranteed. If you

experience problems try using shorter cables.

A1. Keyboard, monitor and mouse to LINDY CPU Switch Multiscreen

All of the shared devices plug directly into the relevant ports at the rear of the LINDY

CPU Switch Multiscreen. If you use an AT style keyboard you will need an AT (5 pin

DIN female) to PS/2 (6 pin mini-DIN male) converter.

Cable specification (self-powered operation):

Keyboard, monitor and mouse cables should be no longer than 2 metres.

Cable specification (with optional power adapter):

Keyboard, monitor and mouse extension cables can be used to increase the

distance from LINDY CPU Switch Multiscreen up to 10m. Most keyboards and mice

will also operate at distances of 20 metres.

A2. LINDY CPU Switch Multiscreen to PCs 1 to 4

Cable specifications:

Video - 15 pin high density male D connector to 15 pin high density male D

connector wired as a standard VGA PC to monitor cable. There are two types

commonly available. The best type cables which will give excellent quality are

constructed with coaxial cable cores. Cheaper ‘data’ cables are often used, but can

degrade video quality if used over longer distances. Avoid using 'data' cables longer

than 2 metres unless the video quality is not important. Good quality coaxial video

cables may be run at distances up to 30 metres with little loss of video quality. If you

wish to make use of the DDC (Display Data Channel) capabilities of the LINDY CPU

Switch Multiscreen then you will need to use cables that have the DDC signalling

lines connected (pins 12 and 15 on the 15-way video connector). Not all video
