Product Features
Technical Overview
The CE100 utilizes analog KVM technology to transmit video, keyboard, and mouse signals over standard Cat 5e Ethernet cables. This approach minimizes latency and maintains signal integrity across the extended distance, supporting real-time DDC communication for automatic monitor configuration. The device is engineered with built-in 8KV/15KV ESD protection (contact voltage 8KV, air voltage 15KV) to safeguard against electrostatic discharge in sensitive environments.
Video performance is optimized through manual compensation adjustment, allowing users to fine-tune image quality for clarity and color accuracy. The extender's power requirements are minimal, with the local unit drawing power directly from the connected computer, while the remote unit uses a 5 V DC power adapter included in the package. This design enhances reliability and reduces points of failure in the power chain.
Relevant factors for this section include Connectivity Technology, KVM Technology, Number of Computers Supported, Graphic Mode. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.
Key Product Advantages
The ATEN CE100 stands out by delivering extended reach without compromising on video quality or usability. Its ability to support distances up to 330 feet over inexpensive Cat 5e cable makes it a cost-effective alternative to more complex fiber or dedicated KVM solutions. The inclusion of manual video compensation ensures that users can adjust for cable length or environmental factors to maintain optimal display performance.
Enhanced Accessibility
Allows remote access to a computer from a console up to 100 meters away, facilitating easier management and troubleshooting in distributed setups.
- Easily add or remove computers
- Supports real-time DDC communication
Robust Protection
Built-in ESD protection up to 8KV contact and 15KV air voltage shields connected equipment from electrostatic damage, increasing longevity in static-prone areas.
Flexible Installation
Wall-mountable design and a included mounting kit provide versatile placement options, while the local unit's lack of external power simplifies setup.
Deployment / Use Cases
This KVM extender is particularly well-suited for environments where computers are located in secure, remote, or hard-to-reach areas. In data centers, it enables administrators to control servers from a centralized console room without the need for direct physical access, improving security and operational efficiency. For educational or corporate settings, it allows instructors or IT staff to manage presentation PCs or workstations from a distance, reducing interruptions during lectures or meetings.
The CE100 also finds application in industrial control rooms, where machinery computers might be housed in separate enclosures for safety or noise reduction. By extending KVM signals, operators can monitor and adjust systems from a comfortable, centralized location. Its compatibility with standard Cat 5e cabling makes it easy to integrate into existing network infrastructure, avoiding the expense of specialized cables or converters.

FAQ
What is the maximum distance the ATEN CE100 KVM extender can support?
The ATEN CE100 supports a maximum operating distance of 330 feet (100584 mm) when using Cat 5e Ethernet cable. This extended range allows for remote console placement in data centers, server rooms, or office environments without signal degradation, making it suitable for setups where direct computer access is limited or impractical.
How many computers can be connected to this KVM extender?
The CE100 is designed to support a single computer. It extends the VGA, keyboard, and mouse signals from one computer to a remote console, providing dedicated access for management or control tasks. This single-computer focus ensures stable performance and simplifies configuration for individual workstation or server deployments.
What video resolution does the CE100 support?
This extender supports WUXGA graphic mode with a maximum video resolution of 1920 x 1200. It delivers high-quality visual output for remote monitoring, making it ideal for tasks that require clear detail, such as server administration, graphic design work, or presentation control, without compromising on image clarity over extended distances.
Does the CE100 require external power for the local unit?
No, the local unit of the CE100 does not need an external power supply. It draws power directly from the connected computer, reducing cable clutter and simplifying installation. The remote unit, however, uses the included 5 V DC power adapter to ensure reliable operation, minimizing points of failure in the setup.
What type of cable is used to connect the local and remote units?
The CE100 uses standard Cat 5e Ethernet cable to connect the local and remote units. This common and affordable cabling option facilitates easy integration into existing network infrastructure, avoiding the need for specialized or expensive cables, while maintaining signal integrity over the supported distance of up to 330 feet.
Is the CE100 wall-mountable, and what protection features does it include?
Yes, the CE100 is wall-mountable and comes with a mounting kit for flexible installation. It also includes built-in ESD protection rated at 8KV contact voltage and 15KV air voltage, shielding connected equipment from electrostatic discharge.
