constructed with coaxial cable cores. Cheaper ‘data’ cables are available but
generally give rather poor quality. 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 20 metres with little loss of video quality.
Keyboard and PS/2 mice - 6 pin mini-DIN male connector to 6 pin mini-DIN male
connector with all lines connected straight through (1-1,2-2 etc.). If the PC has a 5-
pin DIN AT style keyboard connector you will need a PS/2 to AT keyboard adapter
6-pin mini-DIN female to 5-pin DIN male (readily available). For ‘self powered’
operation of the XL unit without the optional power adapter the cables should be no
longer than 3 metres. For operation with the power adapter, cables should be no
longer than 20 metres.
RS232 serial mice - these require a special converter to connect the RS232 lines
present on the AdderLink mouse ports to the RS232 port on a PC.
Cables should be no longer than 20 metres.
Speaker and microphone cables – Screened audio cables with a stereo audio jack
on both ends should be used. Where possible keep the cable lengths to a minimum.
The maximum recommended length is 5 metres.
