PHANTOM MX II 1. What is the Phantom MX II system? The Phantom MX II system from Minicom is a CAT5 based KVM switching solution for multi-server management. It features 2-User control and mixed multiplatform support on one CAT5 line. It also features Minicom’s unique distributed switching technology. Shielded CAT5 FTP cables connect the Phantom MX II system in a loop. The total length of the CAT5 cables in the system can be up to 110m/360ft, see the configuration diagram on page 4.
