The USB (Universal Serial Bus) based KVM Console Extender allows access to a computer system from a remote USB console (USB keyboard, monitor, and USB mouse) for up to 500 ft. away. Because it allows access to a computer system from a remote console, this unit is perfect for use in any type of installation where you need to place the console where it is conveniently accessible, but you want the system equipment to reside in a safe location - away from the dust and dirt of the factory door, or the harsh environmental influence of a construction site, for example. The USB KVM Console Extender is also useful for control and security purposes, where you can have the system unit in a secure area at the at the same time that you put the console in the most convenient location for user access. The CE700 improves on previous designs by: 1) using inexpensive Category 5e cable (the kind commonly used in ethernet networks), instead of bulkier, more expensive, standard cables, for a much neater, more convenient, more reliable data transfer connection; 2) it is able to sense the distance to the system and automatically adjusts the gain accordingly; and 3) it features a custom ASIC to ensure the utmost in reliability and compatibility. Setup is as easy as can be - simply connect the computer Local Module; run the Category 5e cable to the Remote Module (up to 500 ft. away); and plug the USB keyboard, USB mouse and monitor into the Remote Module. Note: You can control numerous remote systems from a single console by combining the USB KVM Console Extender with a USB KVM switch. In information technology, Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a serial bus standard to connect devices to a host computer. USB was designed to allow many peripherals to be connected using a single standardized interface socket and to improve plug and play capabilities by allowing hot swapping; that is, by allowing devices to be connected and disconnected without rebooting the computer or turning off the device. Other convenient features include providing power to low-consumption devices, eliminating the need for an external power supply; and allowing many devices to be used without requiring manufacturer-specific device drivers to be installed. Cat 5 e cable is an enhanced version of Cat 5 that adds specifications for far end crosstalk. It was formally defined in 2001 as the TIA/EIA-568-B standard, which no longer recognizes the original Cat 5 specification. Although 1000BASE-T was designed for use with Cat 5 cable, the tighter specifications associated with Cat 5e cable and connectors make it an excellent choice for use with 1000BASE-T.
