Product Features
Technical Overview
Engineered for reliable long-distance operation, the CE990 uses fiber optic cabling to extend DisplayPort/HDMI video, keyboard/mouse control, stereo and embedded audio, RS-232 serial control, and USB 2.0 signals. The system consists of a local transmitter unit and a remote receiver unit, each powered by a 12 V DC adapter and designed for standard 19-inch rack mounting with included kits.
Its dual console operation supports one local and one remote user simultaneously, with configurable privilege modes (Auto/Local and Auto/Remote) for streamlined access management. The built-in USB 2.0 hub provides dedicated ports for keyboard/mouse devices and other peripherals, while hotkey-enabled EDID priority switching allows quick toggling between local and remote display settings.

- Fiber optic immunity to EMI/RFI
- Supports 4096 x 2160 @ 60 Hz
- Maintains HDCP and HDR10
Flexible Console Management
Dual user operation with privilege modes enables efficient local and remote control, reducing hardware footprint and simplifying workflow.
- Configurable Auto/Local and Auto/Remote modes
- Hotkey EDID priority switching
- Supports wide screen formats
Comprehensive Connectivity
Combines DisplayPort and HDMI support with abundant USB ports and independent audio channels for all-in-one extension.
- DisplayPort/HDMI combo connector
- 10 USB ports (2 for KB/MS)
- Dual stereo audio (mic and speaker)
Deployment / Use Cases
This KVM extender is ideal for scenarios where computing equipment must be physically separated from user workstations or control panels. Its 10-kilometer reach and rack-mountable form factor make it a robust choice for centralized server rooms, broadcast studios, digital signage networks, and industrial automation systems where real-time visual feedback and peripheral control are essential.
In data center environments, the CE990 allows administrators to manage servers from a secure, remote location without sacrificing 4K video quality. For broadcast and post-production, it enables high-resolution video monitoring and editing across separate facilities. In industrial settings, it extends control interfaces to hazardous or inaccessible areas while maintaining reliable signal integrity over fiber.
