Keyboard extension
The keyboard extension allows a distant positioning of keyboard and mouse.
The figure below shows schematically the parts and the cabling of the keyboard extension.
The keyboard extension is made up of two extension boxes (
remote extension box REX
[3],
local extension
box LEX
[5]) and two connection cables
(
RJ-45
connection cable 20m
[4],
USB
cable
[6]). Keyboard and mouse
are plugged into the
remote extension box
instead of being plugged directly into the P
ROCESSOR
. The
remote
extension box
is connected to the
local extension box
with the
connection cable 20m
.
The
local extension box
is connected to an
USB port
of the P
ROCESSOR
with the provided
USB
cable
, which has
on the one end a USB-A plug and on the other a USB-B plug.

The RJ-45 connection cable is not meant to connect REX and LEX via a network. The RJ-45
connectors of LEX and REX must be connected directly with each other!
