Host integration requires a specialized transmitter unit on the PC side, such as the CU8801 (USB-E-2.0 extender) or equivalent Beckhoff PCIe module cards.

Signal attenuation and jitter issues can disrupt the PCT touch tracking matrix if high-flex dynamic cables are used past their rated fatigue limit. Furthermore, avoid cascading external USB hubs at the display terminal end, as this may exceed USB timing margins over the extended 50-meter line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCommissioning \u0026amp; Wiring Tips\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: #2d3748; margin-bottom: 1rem;\"\u003eTo prevent \"ghost touches\" or erratic mouse behavior induced by variable speed drives (VSDs) and other high-frequency noise sources on the machine frame, ensure the mounting arm adapter has a direct, low-impedance copper ground connection to the main system ground.
