Generally, distances closer to the lower range will provide excellent video quality in most environments.
Distances towards the upper end of the range should show acceptable quality, but in some environments
degradation of the video signal may start to appear.
• The maximum supported distance is a function of many factors including the type/quality of CAT5
cable, server type, and server manufacturer, the video driver and monitor, environmental conditions
and user expectations.
• The KX416 and KX432 models provided enhanced video signal quality at longer distances across the
three types of servers tested. For maximum distance, utilize one of the KX4 models.
• The use of Paragon CIMs will not increase the distance between the KX and the target server.
• Due to the multiplicity of server manufacturers and types, OS versions, video drivers, etc. and the
subjective nature of video quality, Raritan cannot guarantee performance across all distances in all
environments.
