VGA KVM Extender over Cat 5 - VGA, USB & PS/2 with built-in 2 port KVM switch up to 300mtr, Supports 1920 x 1200

 

Introduction 

 
The AN300 CAT5 KVM Extender can extend your keyboard monitor and mouse up to 300mtr away from your computer on a 
single Cat 5 or Cat 6 UTP cable. 
 
The Cat5 KVM Extender comprises two distinct units – the Receiver (RX) Unit and the Transmitter (TX) Unit. The Transmitter 
includes local console ports and allows a user to access the computer at the local end, while also extending its keyboard, 
mouse and video up to 300mtr to the Receiver unit at the remote end. 
 
The Receiver Unit has a built-in 2 port KVM switch, and therefore can also be connected to another computer at the Receiver 
end and perform switching between the remote computer (connected to the TX) and the local computer (connected to the 
RX). 
 
Applications include remote access of computers or servers for security reasons, factory floors or warehouses not 
environmentally suited to a computer or point of sale applications where space for a computer is limited. It allows the user to 
manage and control the computer at both locations together with the capacity of switching between the original computer 
and a second computer on the Receiver end.
