Where to Place the SMB CAT5 KVM Switch
The enclosure of the SMB CAT5 KVM Switch is designed for standalone or
rack-mount configuration. The 8- and 16-port SMB CAT5 KVM Switches are
natively rack-mountable in standard 19-inch server racks. Rack-mount hardware
is included with these switches for a sturdy rack installation. An optional Rack-
Mount Kit (F1D005) is available for use with the 4-Port SMB CAT5 KVM Switch.
Consider the following when deciding where to place the SMB
CAT5 KVM Switch:
• whether or not you intend to use the direct-access port selectors
• the lengths of the cables attached to your keyboard, monitor, and mouse
• the location of your servers in relation to your console
• the lengths of the cables you use to connect your servers to the SMB CAT5
KVM Switch
Cable Distance Requirements (for PS/2, USB, and Sun Servers)
VGA signals transmit best up to 100 feet (30m). Beyond that length, the
probability of video degradation increases. For this reason, Belkin recommends
that the length of the CAT5 UTP cable between the SMB CAT5 KVM Switch and
the connected servers does not exceed 100 feet (30m).
NOTE: The Belkin CAT5 Extender (F1D084) may be used to extend your console
(keyboard, mouse, and monitor) by up to 500 feet (152m).
WARNING! Avoid placing cables near fluorescent lights, air conditioning
equipment, or machines that create electrical noise (e.g., vacuum cleaners).
You are now ready to begin installation of your SMB CAT5 KVM Switch.
The following sections (pages 13-22) provide complete instructions
for the hardware setup of a single SMB CAT5 KVM Switch (F1DP104A,
F1DP108A, F1DP116A).
Note for Belkin PRO2 Series Owners (F1DA104T, F1DA108T, F1DA116T):
Installation for the PRO2 KVM Switch has changed. Please follow this installation
manual completely to ensure proper installation. Failure to do so may result in
keyboard or mouse errors, and/or faulty operation.
