KVM extender is a hardware device that allows the transmission of keyboard, video and mouse (KVM) signals over long distances using inexpensive Ca5 / Cat6 / Cat7 UTP cables. It is an ideal solution for financial institutions, as it allows the accessing of computers centralized in a secure and environmentally controlled location. Using Cat5 cable technology, it is very easy to install and it eliminates cables and clutters. With this technology at your disposal, you can now operate the computer from wherever you want, using the KVM console.
The Cat5 KVM extender is a hardware device which is compact in size and allows the connection of the computer with the extended workstation. The device is compatible with most operating systems and eliminates the use of bulky cable and gives you the opportunity to place your KVM peripherals virtually anywhere. The extender supports resolutions up to 1920 x 1440 and with keyboard/mouse emulation it gives flawless operation; it also supports one local and one remote user. It allows you to locate the keyboard, monitor and mouse remotely by using CAT5 wiring and allows local and remote access to network servers. The extender is extensively used in commercial, industrial and government applications.
Cat5 USB KVM extender also allows remote access to computers with the USB keyboard, video and mouse. Distances up to 1000ft are supported by using inexpensive Cat5 / Cat5e / Cat6 cable. The device basically consists of a transmitter unit which is placed at the source computer and a receiver unit placed in the remote location. The extender is connected using standard UTP or STP cable and permits the switching between local user and the remote user. The advantage of using this extender is that high quality resolution up to 1600 x 1200 can be maintained without any distortion. It is compatible with SUN Solaris and USB servers, along with operating systems such as Windows, Linux, Unix and NetWare.
The KVM Extender allows you to access and control with great flexibility all the servers placed anywhere in the facility. It is best used for commercial, government and industrial applications.
The USB extender is a hardware device that allows an extension of 1 to 4 USB peripheral devices and extends the distance up to 150ft using inexpensive Cat5 / Cat5e / Cat6 UTP cable. The setup of this device is very easy because of its simple plug and play functionality. The Icron USB 2.0 Fiber Ranger Multimode Fiber extender is another fiber optic extender version that permits an extension up to 10km. These devices support Windows, Mac-OS, Linux and Sun. It could also be used for applications that require remote location of USB peripherals such as interactive mouse, keyboards and other human input devices.
In the case of wireless usb extender , without the need for running the cables, the USB peripherals could be extended to distances up to 110ft.
This is advantageous in situations where there is lack of space or where cables cannot be used. It basically is a hub that consists of a transmitter with 4 port receiver that permits the connection of up to 4 USB devices such as mouse, keyboard, printers, scanners, isochronous web cams, hard drives, and MP3 players. This extender comes along with simple plug and play functionality, and is compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1. It does not need any software driver for operation and supports Windows 2000, XP, MAC OSX, Solaris and Unix Linux along with USB transfer types such as Control, Bulk, Interrupt and Isochronous.
The biggest advantage of a usb extender is that, the receiver has an active 4 port hub that would supply power to each port, thereby powering and charging the peripherals such as media players, smart phones and mass storage devices. The local transmitter and the receiver unit in the USB over Cat5 kit are connected using Cat 5 UTP cable; RJ45 and Icron Ranger USB 2.0 Extender have also been included so as to support USB 2.0 peripheral devices at speeds up to 480 Mb/s over a distance of 50 m/164 ft. These are powered by patented Extreme USB technology and are revolutionizing USB connectivity and extension.
The HDMI Splitter is a hardware device that allows you to split and distribute a single HDMI video signal to multiple HDMI video display units simultaneously. In other words, from sources such as set-top boxes, DVD players, D-VHS players and other HDTV devices, the HDMI video signals are replicated and distributed to multiple HDMI video display units. HDMI Splitter is available in various sizes ranging from 2, 4 and 8 ports. In order to form a larger distribution configuration of replicating and displaying HDMI video on many HDMI displays, multiple splitter units could be daisy chained or cascaded. The resolutions that the splitter supports are 720i, 720p, 1080i and 1080p.
Some of the various advantages of these splitters are that they support HDCP compliant devices and work on simple plug and play functionality; also they use only a single cable to transmit video and sound while connecting the devices with HDMI output to the HDTV display. Since HDMI integrates both the video and sound signals onto a single cable, bulky VGA and audio cables can be avoided, thereby increasing space and reducing clutter.
The parent category, the video splitter encompasses a wide variety of splitter types that all serve the same function– split and replicate video from a single source to many displays.
The range of splitters includes, VGA, S-Video, Composite, Component, DVI and HDMI. Although the VGA splitter has been the most common splitter used, digital HDMI technology has recently made HDMI splitters the most popular.
The HDMI splitter is a great invention that allows digital audio and video content and provides uncompressed image as well as sound clarity. It allows you to connect HDTV devices like DVD players, D-VHS players, set top boxes etc to two or more HDTV displays at the same time. The HDMI Distribution Amplifier is extensively used in business centers, small office, home office, conference rooms, and classrooms.
