Deployment / Use Cases
The TK-EX4 is ideal for environments where computer equipment must be physically separated from user workstations. In data centers, the kit allows administrators to control servers located in distant racks from a centralized console room. For industrial applications, it enables operation of control computers housed in secure or environmentally controlled areas from operator stations in adjacent rooms.
The system also supports integration with TRENDnet KVM switches for expanded multi-computer management. Educational institutions can use the extension kit to secure computer lab equipment while providing student access from classroom workstations. Broadcast and production facilities benefit from the ability to control editing and playback systems from separate control rooms without running bulky traditional KVM cables.
Data Center Management
Extend control from network operations centers to server racks in separate rooms or floors, maintaining security while providing full administrative access.
Industrial Control Systems
Operate computers in environmentally controlled enclosures from operator consoles in adjacent areas, protecting equipment while maintaining usability.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum distance this KVM extension kit supports?
The TRENDnet TK-EX4 supports KVM extension up to 100 meters (328 feet) using standard network cabling. This distance allows for flexible deployment in data centers, industrial facilities, and other environments where equipment must be physically separated from user workstations while maintaining full keyboard, video, and mouse control functionality.
How many computers can I control with this extension kit?
The TK-EX4 supports two computers simultaneously with one local user and one remote user configuration. This makes it suitable for managing dual-server setups or providing both local and remote access to critical systems. The kit can be integrated with TRENDnet KVM switches for expanded multi-computer management scenarios.
What video resolution does this KVM extender support?
This extension kit supports WUXGA resolution up to 1920x1200, providing clear, high-quality video output over extended distances. The WUXGA graphic mode ensures compatibility with modern monitors and displays while maintaining signal integrity throughout the 100-meter extension range for detailed visual work and administrative tasks.
Does this kit work with PS/2 keyboards and mice?
Yes, the TK-EX4 includes two USB to PS/2 adapters in the package, allowing connection of legacy PS/2 keyboards and mice. This ensures compatibility with older equipment while maintaining the convenience of USB connectivity for the extension system itself. The adapters support standard PS/2 keyboard and mouse protocols.
What type of cabling is required for the extension link?
The extension link between transmitter and receiver units uses standard network (RJ-45) cabling. This makes deployment straightforward and cost-effective compared to specialized fiber or proprietary cable solutions. The system is designed to work with commonly available Cat5e or better network cables up to 100 meters in length.
What power requirements does this extension kit have?
The TK-EX4 operates on 5VDC power supplied by the included adapters, which accept universal 110-220V AC input. Each unit (transmitter and receiver) requires its own power adapter, both of which are included. The system consumes approximately 4.70 watts total, making it energy-efficient for continuous operation.
