Product Features
Technical Overview
This KVM extender utilizes fiber optic cabling to achieve a maximum operating distance of 98425.20 feet (30,000,000 mm), far exceeding traditional copper-based extenders. The system supports DVI-I/VGA video with EDID pass-through, ensuring compatible display detection and optimal resolution settings. The five USB 2.0 ports on the receiver unit allow connection of keyboards, mice, storage drives, and other peripherals with full plug-and-play functionality.
Audio support includes separate headphone and microphone connections via a combined 3.5mm cable, enabling clear two-way communication. The transmitter features a local DVI port loopback for on-site monitoring, while the receiver provides three DVI ports for flexible display configurations. Power is supplied via 5V DC adapters included with US, EU, and UK plug types for global compatibility.
