Cable Distances and Resolutions

ST-C5KVM-600 Distances and Resolutions for CAT5/CAT5e and CAT6 cables
Cable	Distance	Maximum Resolution
CAT5/ CAT5e (UTP)	600 feet (183 meters)	1024x768 at 60 Hz
	400 feet (122 meters)	1280x1024 at 60 Hz
	300 feet (91 meters)	1600x1200 at 60 Hz
	100 feet (30 meters)	1920x1440 at 60 Hz
CAT5/ CAT5e (STP), CAT6 (UTP)	300 feet (91 meters)	1024x768 at 60 Hz
	200 feet (61 meters)	1280x1024 at 60 Hz
	100 feet (30 meters)	1920x1440 at 60 Hz

Note: CAT6 cable has a higher skew than CAT5/5e cable, which causes colors to smear. Since these extenders do not have internal skew compensation, they work at shorter distances with CAT6 cable.

Application Notes

Surge Protection for CATx Cable

The XTENDEX-SP CATx Surge Protector protects equipment running on CATx unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable against the effects of electrostatic discharge, faulty wiring and lightning. Use a protector on each end of the line to provide increased protection on each end against surges.

"The ST-C5KVMRS-600 unit works great with our touch screen displays. We got it right the first time. Thank you for your assistance."

"The thing that most impresses me about NTIs XTENDEX™ ST-C5KVM-600 unit is the video resolution capabilities. Units by other manufacturers in the same price range will only accommodate a 1024x768 resolution. This unit has far greater capabilities for the same price."

"We have enjoyed working with the NTI extender products (ST-C5KVMRS-600) for the following reasons:

1. Your products offer us much more flexibility with the options that are available.

2. The quality is equal to, if not higher, than the competitive products we have used in the past.

3. For our projects, which are Mega and Super Yachts on the oceans of this world, you provide us with many of our IT needs, integrated into our complex systems.

I should also mention my technical questions were handled with courtesy and efficiency, which makes us feel comfortable with NTI."

"Brand 'A' units are a thing of the past. They fail on the MILDEST of power faults, completely collapse in high RF fields, often require multiple re-boots to work at all, and come with a bulky cable set making a rack mount location an absolute nightmare. NTI's ST-C5KVMRS-600, in METAL boxes, tolerate the power company in a size that nicely velcros to the back of a rack computer with short cables. NTI's work beautifully with Cat5 in high RF fields without special shielding. Well done. Don't change a thing, PLEASE!"
