INTRODUCTION 

 
The VOPEX

®

 VGA USB KVM Splitter with built-in USB hub extends one USB computer (PC, SUN, MAC) to up to four users 

(four USB keyboards, mice and VGA monitors) connected to XTENDEX Series Remote Units.  
 

Options:  

For support for up to eight users, order VOPEX-C5USBVA-

8

.   

For support for 

USB touch screen monitor, CAC card reader, or interactive whiteboard, add a “U” to the part number (order 

VOPEX-C5USBV

U

A-x  (x= 4 or 8))

 

 
Remote video and audio devices can be located as much as 1000 feet away from the source via Category 5e/6/6A/7 
unshielded or shielded (see chart on page 18) twisted-pair cable. The VOPEX can optionally supply video and audio to 
devices located near the source and provides support for any USB 2.0 full speed device connected to its ports.  
 
The VOPEX Series VGA Splitter/Extender is extremely simple to install and has been thoroughly tested to insure reliable 
performance.  Through the use of CATx unshielded twisted-pair cable it is possible to economically increase the flexibility of 
a computer system.    Here are some of the features and ways this can benefit the user: 
 

 

Allows the placement of monitors, USB devices and self-powered stereo speakers/amplifiers in different remote 
locations where only these parts are needed. 

 

Provides crisp and clear resolution up to 1080p 

 

Video quality adjustment is automatic for varying lengths of CATx cable 

 

 

Digital transmission of audio signals reduces any loss in quality. 

 

Audio can be broadcast to self-powered stereo speakers at each remote location and to the local unit.
