FEATURES- MasterView Pro 1000 Series Daisy Chain Cable- 16.4 feet
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.
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.
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.
