3  Connect the other end of the cascade 

link cable to the remote user RJ45 
socket on the front panel of the 
lower unit. 

4  Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the cascade 

links between each AdderView 
CATx 1000 unit.

Once the AdderView CATx 1000 
units and computers have been 
connected, you can edit their 
names to make it much 
easier to locate them. 
See the 

the Configuration 
chapter for more details.

The method for cascading AdderView CATx 1000 units is straightforward and 
requires no hardware settings or lengthy configuration process. 
The method of linking AdderView CATx 1000 units is the same regardless of the 
cascade level, or number of devices attached. Put simply: 

•  A single cascade link is made by connecting a 

 

socket of one unit to the 

 socket of the unit below 

it.

Please consider the following when making cascade connections between 
AdderView CATx 1000 units.
Tips for successful cascading

•  The maximum number of levels for a cascade is two.
•  For each cascade link, use a standard category 5, 5e or 6 twisted-pair cable, 

terminated at each end with an RJ45 connector. There must be no crossover 
connections within the cable. The cascade link cables can be up to 50m (160 
feet) in length. However, remember that the overall length between the 
remote user (via an X100 or X200 extender) and any computer (via a CAM) 
must not exceed 300m (980 feet) - that figure includes the cascade link 
cables. Also ensure that the total length from the top AdderView CATx 1000 
to any CAM does not exceed 10m.

•  The procedure given opposite may be carried out in any order but for clarity 

the instruction will begin at the higher level AdderView CATx 1000 unit 
(here called the upper unit), i.e. the one that is being fed into by a unit at 
the cascade level below (here called the lower unit). The procedure remains 
the same regardless of exactly which cascade levels are being connected. 
The basic rule is that each link is made by connecting a

• 

1  Ensure that power is disconnected from the 

AdderView CATx 1000 and all other units to 
be connected.   

2  Connect one end of the cascade link cable 

to an appropriate
