CAT5 Smart KVM Extender

The new generation CAT5 Smart KVM Extender enables controlling a computer from up to 110m/360ft away by extending the KVM console. This makes it an excellent solution for accessing computers centralized in one secure, environmentally controlled location such as those located in financial institutions.

More than just an extender, the CAT5 Smart KVM Extender is actually a multifunctional system that can perform multiple tasks all in one unit.
