Overview
Because the B013-000 Console Extender System allows access to a
computer system from a remote console (keyboard, monitor, and
mouse), it is perfect for factory and construction sites, or any type of
installation where the console needs to be kept in a conveniently
accessible location, but you want the system equipment to reside in a
safe place - away from dust, dirt, and harsh environmental influences.
The B013-000 System is also useful for control and security
purposes, where you can have the system unit in a secure area at the
same time that you put the console in a location that offers convenient
access.
The B013-000 Console Extender provides the ideal means to access
the remote system box, since it improves on previous designs by
using inexpensive Category 5 STP cable - the kind commonly used in
Ethernet networks - instead of bulkier, more expensive, standard
cables, and can also sense the distance to the system and
automatically adjust thegain.
Category 5 cabling makes for a much neater, more convenient, more
reliable data transfer connection. Setup is as easy as can be - simply
connect the PC system box and local console to the Local B013-000
Module; run the STP cable to the Remote B013-000 Module (up to
150 meters away); and plug the remote console into the Remote
Module.
Note: You can control numerous remote systems from a single
console by combining the B013-000 with a KVM switch.
