CHAPTER 2: OVERVIEW
2.1 APPLICATION
The Compact KVM Matrix Switch is used to establish connections from consoles (monitor, keyboard, mouse and other peripheral
devices) to various sources (computer, CPU).
In its maximum configuration, up to 48 independent ports can be defined and switched either as a console or a CPU. The Compact
KVM Matrix Switch is designed to operate with extenders that are able to transmit video, KVM and USB 2.0 signals. But it can also
be used as a video matrix.
The connection between the matrix and the peripheral devices, such as KVM extenders or video sources, can be made by CATx
cables.
The matrix serves as a repeater and can be run at a maximum distance of 400 feet (140 m) from the consoles and 400 feet (140 m)
from the sources.
