The unique extender from DIGITUS® offers a free selection of USB and PS/2 connections

KVM extenders allow longer extension of the transmission path for mouse, keyboard and monitor signals via Cat5 cables (also known as network cables or patch cables). Connection is possible both directly to a PC / server and also to a KVM change-over switch. The KVM extender offers a respective connection option to a local and a remote operating console.

Appropriate uses for KVM extenders can be found in server rooms, on one hand where continuous working is not possible because of air conditioning. On the other hand, the KVM extender has a local connection option for an operating console so that a console can be serviced anyhow.

Administration can be done comfortably from the administrator’s place of work. This work station is usually located quite far away from the server room. This distance can be extended with a KVM extender.

A KVM extender can also be used in a private house. Music or films are often played back from computers. The computer can be "banished" to another room or the basement to avoid having irritating noises in the living area. The signal is amplified by a KVM extender so that there is no loss of quality. Support from the mouse and keyboard allows the data to be controlled or even edited, PC games can be played or the internet can be surfed.

DIGITUS® brings a special type of KVM extender onto the market. Free, direct selection between USB and PS/2 connections for the peripherals is possible for the first time. The dual operating console allows control from both sides, the local and the remote. The user can select between local, remote or local and remote control.

The direct connection option for USB and /or PS/2 input devices both to the local and also the remote console is unique and patented.

The combo KVM extender DS-51110 allows extension of VGA Video-, USB- and PS/2 signals up to a distance of 200 meters from the signal source. The highest quality of video playback is guaranteed by the integrated amplifier for video- and keyboard -/ mouse signals.

The DIGITUS® KVM extender offers a video resolution of up to 1280 x 1024 pixels at 60 Hz (up to 200m) or even up to 1920 x 1080 pixels (at up to 75m) with DDC2B support. The remote unit can also be used manually in addition to automatic correction for picture sharpness, brightness and colour correction. Outstanding video quality is provided in this way.

The KVM extender is ideal for the operating systems: Windows® Vista, Server 2003, XP, 2000, ME, 98SE, DOS, Linux, Mac OS from Version 9 and also Sun Microsystems. Access to the BIOS level and company ware upgrades is possible, of course. Installation of additional drivers or software is not necessary.
