Extend USB keyboard, USB mouse and VGA monitor up to 1,000 feet

he XTENDEX® ST-C5USBV USB KVM extender provides local and remote KVM (USB keyboard, USB mouse and VGA monitor) access to a USB computer or NTI KVM switch up to 1,000 feet using CAT5/5e/6 UTP cable, which overcomes the USB five meter limitation.
Each ST-C5USBV consists of a zero-U local unit (connects to a computer, and provides local keyboard, monitor and mouse connections) and a desktop remote unit (connects to a keyboard, monitor and mouse or the inputs of an NTI switch). The local and remote units are interconnected via CAT5/5e/6 cable.
* Sharpest and clearest VGA quality over CAT5 of any manufacturer.
* Supports local and remote access.
* Automatically adjusts the video quality to compensate for varying lengths of CAT5/5e/6 cable.
* Simple On Screen Display (OSD) menus allow users to configure the extender, adjust for video skew, and fine-tune video quality for optimal video resolution.
* Supports resolutions to 1920x1440.
* Keyboard and mouse are hot-pluggable.
* Keep-alive keyboard/mouse emulation for flawless operation.
* Color-coded LEDs on both the local and remote units indicate power status and verify communication is established between the units.
* Built-in surge protection.
