KVM Consoles/Extenders

Purely digital for pure video
Because the extender delivers full DVI digital video without compression or conversion, you get pure video displays with no loss of quality. The extender uses CAT6a cable to extend keyboard, mouse, and uncompressed single-link DVI-D video up to 196 feet (59.7 m) at full 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz or 3840 x 2400 at 17 Hz resolution! It's ideal where you want to reduce environmental concerns, such as heat and noise, and ensure optimal temperature control.

Go the distance
You'll get different distances depending on what cable you use and if you make direct connections or patch panel connections.

Direct cable connections:
CAT6a: 196 feet (59.7 m)
CAT6: 180 feet (54.8 m)
CAT5e: 147 feet (44.8 m)

Patch Panel Connections
CAT6a: 164 feet (50 m)
CAT6: 147 feet (44.8 m)
CAT5e: 114 feet (34.7 m)

USB keyboard and mouse support
The extender also delivers bi-directional USB data, enabling USB device extension over 196 feet (59.7 m) on the same CAT6a cable. This makes the extender ideal for distributed workstations where you want to reduce environmental concerns such as heat and noise, such as in post-production suites. The extender supports a variety of USB keyboards and mice and other human interface devices (HIDs) such as touchscreens.

Extended profile DDC EDID
The Wizard DVI/USB carries extended profile DDC EDID data from your display device to the display adapter to ensure that your system is configured to deliver optimal video performance. The extended profile DDC EDID is particularly important when extending the video to high-performance display devices. This is essential for professional graphics users such as post-production, broadcast, architecture, graphic design, medical imaging, CAD, or any other applications where display performance is critical.

19" mounting
You can mount up to 16 local or remote units in the Rackmount Chassis for ServSwitch Wizard Extender (ACU5000A).

Interface-powered local unit
The local unit of the Wizard SRX can be interface powered if your attached PC outputs do not exceed 500 mA. Otherwise, use the spare 5-VDC Power Supply (PS649-R3).

Purely digital for pure video
Because the extender delivers full DVI digital video without compression or conversion, you get pure video displays with no loss of quality. The extender uses CAT7a cable to extend keyboard, mouse, and uncompressed single-link DVI-D video up to 196 feet (59.7 m) at full 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz or 3840 x 2400 at 17 Hz resolution!

Put extra distance between your dual VGA monitors, USB-style peripherals, and your CPU - and set up multiscreen workstation monitoring - using the ServSwitch Wizard USB KVM Extender with Dual-Head VGA and Audio.

The extender package includes a local and a remote unit. Simply connect the local module to your PC and the remote module to the peripherals next to the user using two CATx cable runs.

The ServSwitch Wizard USB KVM Extender with Dual-Head VGA and Audio is ideal for high-density applications where you want full use of USB keyboards, mice, and other devices but there simply isn't room for a CPU nearby, or for applications where you want to keep CPUs secured and out of the way.

A built-in 4-port USB hub on the extender's remote unit enables you to attach a complete desktop remotely, including a USB keyboard and mouse, as well as a USB drive, webcam, and any other USB peripheral device you would normally plug into your computer's USB port. The extender kit supports both low- and full-speed USB 2.0 connectivity.

All communications use inexpensive CATx cable, so there's no special cabling needed to extend a USB bus from a PC to peripherals, and no USB configuration is necessary. The PC and its peripherals operate exactly as normal, the only difference being that they are now located far apart.

Extend high-quality video and audio signals
The same CAT5e or CAT6 cable link used for keyboard, mouse, and USB device extensions transmits signals for multiscreen desktops, too. This way, you can set up a remote desktop with two VGA monitors to enhance workflow productivity.

A built-in variable noise filter enables extended distances - up to 1000 feet (300 m) over CAT6 cable - for video signals. This helps overcome issues of increased gain caused by using longer cabling runs.

Multi-pole compensation helps ensure superb video quality at maximum distance over a single cable. From a keyboard at the receiver's end, you can make adjustments for cable type and cable length, and adjust color skew compensation and gain to ensure crystal clear video images.

Plus, for a truly multimedia workstation, the extender supports two-channel, 16-bit audio (sampled at 44.1 kHz). This way, you can enjoy CD-quality sound at extended distances. Just plug in speakers on the remote unit. (It also supports speakers on the audio output port of the local unit, too.)

Enjoy high-quality video with this low-cost, short-distance extender.

• This low-cost, high-quality video extender is perfect for short distances and limited budgets.
• Enables you to place a CPU in a remote environment that is more secure or cleaner than where you work.
• Place a keyboard, monitor, and mouse up to 75 feet (22.8 m) from a computer or KVM switch.
• Connects the computer unit and console (station) unit via inexpensive Category 5 UTP cable.

The DVI-D Dual Head KVM Extender with Audio and RS232 is ideal for critical applications in which reliable digital image quality and fast switch-over of redundant hardware are required. With operating temperatures from 41 to 113°F (5 to 45 °C) and storage temperatures from -13 to 140°F (-25 to 60 °C), this KVM extender is particularly beneficial in industrial or other harsh environments where sensitive hardware should not be exposed. It is also ideal for work environments in which noise from fans and CPUs is unacceptable.

The small form factor fits easily into the workspace, reducing clutter and enabling greater productivity. LEDs on the device provide easy visual status indication. The dual monitor support lets you eliminate tedious switching between applications and to extend a visually complex application across two screens - hundreds of feet from the CPU.

The DVI-D dual-monitor KVM extender is easy to install, and ships with all the tools you need for immediate implementation:

• DVI-D Copper KVM Extender pair (Local Unit + Remote Unit)
• CPU cables
• 2x 5V DC universal power supply for the DVI-D Fiber Extenders
• 2x US type power cords
• User manual (Quick Setup)
• 2x DVI-D (1,8m) video cable (DVI-D single link male-to-male)
• DB9-F, (2) 3.5mm TO DB9-F cable (for RS232 and bi-directional audio)
• USB (1,8m) cable (USB type A to type B)
