Product Features
Technical Overview
Technically, the IH2006-KVM-EXTENDER leverages TCP/IP data link protocols over wired connectivity to extend HDMI video, USB peripherals, and additional signals across network distances. It supports a maximum video resolution of 3840 x 2160 (4K) at 60Hz, ensuring crisp and responsive visual output for remote monitoring and control tasks. The host interface is HDMI, with three HDMI ports available across the transmitter and receiver for local display connections and source inputs.
The extender includes five USB ports for keyboard, mouse, and other peripheral connections, along with two network RJ-45 ports for Ethernet integration. It also features a three-wire RS-232 terminal header and a 3.5mm audio passthrough port, enabling serial device control and audio extension alongside the primary KVM signals. Power is supplied via universal adapters supporting 100-240 V AC input, with low 10W consumption for energy-efficient operation.
Key Product Advantages
This KVM extender stands out for its simplicity and robustness, offering key advantages that enhance remote management capabilities without compromising performance or security.
No Configuration Required
The driverless design means zero software installation or complex setup. Plug-and-play functionality ensures immediate compatibility across diverse operating systems and hardware, reducing deployment time and technical overhead.
- Works with Windows, macOS, Linux
- Supports Intel, AMD, ARM, Apple Silicon
Scalable Network Integration
Start with a point-to-point connection and expand to one-to-many setups by adding additional IP KVM receivers. This scalability allows the system to grow with organizational needs, providing a future-proof investment for expanding IT infrastructures.
- Point-to-point or one-to-many expansion
- Uses standard Ethernet/CAT6 cabling
Secure Remote Access
By keeping the host computer physically secure in a separate location, the extender prevents unauthorized access and protects against environmental damage. The TCP/IP network transmission maintains data integrity while enabling remote control from a safe distance.
- Protects hardware from physical threats
- Maintains system security over networks
Deployment / Use Cases
The IH2006-KVM-EXTENDER is ideal for scenarios where remote computer access and control are necessary, particularly in environments where direct physical access is impractical or insecure. Its AVoIP technology makes it suitable for extending KVM signals over existing network infrastructure, eliminating the need for long dedicated cables.
Common use cases include industrial control rooms, where operators need to monitor and manage computers located in harsh or restricted areas; data centers, for remote server management without entering hot aisles; and digital signage control, allowing content updates and troubleshooting from a central location. The local HDMI output on the transmitter also enables on-site viewing, useful for maintenance or configuration tasks without network dependency.
Industrial Environments
Deploy in manufacturing floors or utility plants to control computers from safe, climate-controlled rooms, protecting equipment from dust, moisture, or extreme temperatures.
IT and Server Management
Use in data centers or server racks to access and troubleshoot systems remotely, reducing physical handling and improving operational efficiency.
What's in the Box
The kit includes all necessary components for immediate deployment, ensuring a complete out-of-the-box solution.
