FEATURES- MasterView PS/2 KVM Cables- 20 ft.
The cables that you use when connecting your computer to our
MasterView KVM switches play a very important role in the quality
of the communication between the PCs and the MasterView unit. Our
custom made cables are designed to provide the highest signal
capacity along with the lowest signal loss. What this means, to you
as the consumer, is that you will receive the highest quality video
output even in the higher SuperVGA video modes.
* An Average Cable
Your average cable has one layer of shielding, a thin layer of mylar
foil that has been cut into a very long and narrow, approximately one
half of an inch wide, strip that is wound in a spiral pattern around the
wires, also called leads, in order to reduce the cost of the cable.
There are a few problems with this method of shielding a signal bearing
cables, first and foremost among them is the fact that this wrapped foil
method can "leak" RF (radio frequency) interference. Additionally the
manufacturers of your average cables use very small wires to carry the
information generally they use 28 or 26 AWG wires (in AWG the higher the
number for the gauge the smaller the actual size of the wire) to carry
their information, this is another concession to reducing the
manufacturing costs of the cables. Some of your other "Premium" cables
are made in the same way and with the same materials as your average
cable. The manufacturers put fancy connectors on the cable then stamp
the word "Premium" on the packaging and then charge you more for the
cable.
* ATEN's Premium Cable
At ATEN we have invested millions of dollars into cable manufacturing to
ensure the highest quality cables at the lowest possible cost. Our
cables are double shielded, beneath the PVC outer insulator you will
find a copper braid RF shield, then beneath that you will find the mylar
foil shield. Unlike our competitors instead of spiral wrapping the mylar
foil shield, we take a single piece and enclose the signal carrying
wires in a one-piece envelope. All our cables are manufactured with low
resistance and low capacitance 24 AWG wires to ensure the best video
performance. Another important difference between our cables and those
of our competitors is that we use coaxial wires to carry the red, green,
and blue video signals. Our competitors just throw the signal and its
ground on two separate wires. By using coaxial wires we reduce the
possibilities of interference even farther. Our video cable is also
built in compliance with standard UL 2919. The cables we manufacture for
our mouse and keyboard are also built to our high quality requirements
and are in compliance with the UL 2464 standard.
