Deployment / Use Cases
The CE700A is ideal for environments where computer systems must be physically separated from operator consoles, such as secure server rooms, industrial control panels, or broadcast facilities. The extender enables technicians to work from comfortable locations while maintaining direct access to critical systems.
Common deployment scenarios include data center server access, where rack-mounted systems require extended console connectivity; control room installations, where operators need remote access to processing equipment; and educational or training facilities, where instructors can demonstrate systems from a separate location.
Data Center Server Management
Extend console access from server racks to technician workstations, reducing time spent in noisy, confined server aisles while maintaining full control capabilities.
Industrial Control Systems
Separate control consoles from equipment in harsh environments, protecting operator workstations while maintaining reliable system access.

FAQ
What type of cable does the CE700A use for signal extension?
The CE700A uses standard Category 5e (Cat5e) Ethernet cable to extend keyboard, video, and mouse signals between the transmitter and receiver units. This common cable type provides cost-effective deployment while supporting the maximum operating distance of 492 feet (150 meters).
How many users can access the computer simultaneously with this extender?
The CE700A supports dual console operation, allowing one local user and one remote user to access the same computer simultaneously. Both users can control the system with their own USB keyboard, monitor, and mouse without interfering with each other's sessions.
What video resolutions does the CE700A support at different distances?
Video resolution varies with distance: 1920x1200@60Hz at 30 meters, 1600x1200@60Hz at 100 meters, and 1280x1024@60Hz at 150 meters. The extender automatically adjusts signal compensation to maintain the best possible video quality for each distance range.
What protection features does the CE700A include for connected equipment?
The extender provides comprehensive protection with 8KV/15KV ESD (electrostatic discharge) protection, 2KV surge protection, and USB overcurrent detection. These features safeguard both the extender and connected computer equipment from electrical disturbances and improper connections.
Can the CE700A be installed in a standard server rack?
Yes, the CE700A features a rack-mountable form factor and includes a rack mount kit for installation in standard 19-inch server racks. The compact design optimizes rack space while providing all necessary connectivity options for data center and server room deployments.
What operating modes are available with the CE700A extender?
The local unit includes pushbutton operating mode selection, allowing users to choose between Local mode (local console only) and Auto mode (automatic switching between local and remote consoles). This flexibility enables different access configurations based on operational requirements.
