Product Features
Technical Overview
This remote access module operates on a wired connectivity platform, ensuring consistent signal integrity across its maximum supported distance of 984.25 feet (300,000 millimeters). The technical architecture is optimized for low-latency transmission of USB and VGA signals, which is critical for responsive remote control in real-time applications. The module's design focuses on reliability, with robust components that maintain performance over extended cable runs typical in industrial or commercial installations.
The interface configuration includes two USB ports for connecting peripherals such as keyboards, mice, or other input devices, and one VGA port for video output, supporting standard resolutions up to 1920x1200. Audio is integrated into the signal path, allowing both input and output audio to be transmitted alongside the USB and video data. This all-in-one approach simplifies cabling and reduces the need for additional adapters or separate audio extenders.
Key Product Advantages
The ServSwitch CX Uno module stands out by combining extended reach with comprehensive peripheral support in a single, easy-to-deploy unit. Its ability to transmit USB, VGA, and audio signals over nearly 1,000 feet addresses common challenges in distributed IT environments, where equipment may be located in separate rooms or across large facilities. This eliminates the need for multiple extension devices, reducing complexity and potential points of failure.
