How to install SIIG 4K HDMI USB KVM Extender over CAT6

1) Power down all equipment before making connections to avoid any electrical issues.

2) Connect the transmitter (TX) to your HDMI source using a standard HDMI cable, and connect any USB host device (keyboard/mouse) to the TX input.

3) Run a CAT6 Ethernet cable from the TX unit to the receiver (RX) unit. Ensure the cable length is within the maximum supported distance and that the cable is high-quality and free from damage.

4) Connect the RX to your display with an HDMI cable and attach your USB peripherals to the RX as needed. This creates a remote KVM path so you can interact with the source computer from the display side.

5) If required by your setup, apply power to both TX and RX units using the supplied adapters. Confirm that both units power up and the connected HDMI and USB devices are recognized.

6) Power on your display and source equipment, then test video quality, color, and resolution. Test keyboard and mouse responsiveness at the remote end to ensure full KVM control.

7) Optimize placement to minimize cable interference and ensure clean, safe cable routing. Keep CAT6 cables away from high-power lines and sources of EMI for best signal integrity.
