Support Items

Our Industrial 300 m KVM Extenders allow placement of an industrial monitor and USB touch screen, keyboard, mouse, and other devices up to 300 metres away from the computer using a single shielded CATx cable (maximum distance depends on the resolution and cable type used, see Specs section above for details). For legacy applications, a VGA, PS2, and RS-232 serial extender is available. These extenders are also compatible with our digital cable converters when a digital signal is required.

Using this system, an economical non-industrial computer can be placed in a secure, climate-controlled environment, leaving only our rugged industrial workstations exposed to factory conditions. Removing computers from the factory floor also increases reliability and allows central location of all PCs, easing future upgrades.

Monitor-Mounted Extenders are fully IP65/IP66 rated (and 3rd-party certified) and suitable for full wash-down environments. Stand-Alone models can be simply placed behind a panel, or VESA-mounted to the back of a Panel Mount Monitor.

All extenders include both a matched local and remote extender unit.
