Use these extenders to control a remote CPU—even one that’s a kilometer away!

» Fiber optic KVM extension for IBM compatible

PC CPUs.

» Drive keyboard, video, and mouse signals

over multimode fiber cable as far as 0.6 miles

(1 km).

» Support a variety of video types

at up to 1280 x 1024 resolution.

» Include both local and remote units.

» Dual access. Use your computer

at either location!

» A serial RS-232 and bidirectional stereo audio

version is also available.

» Fiber optic cable makes them perfect

for industrial settings and environments

with high EMI/RFI.

» Fiber signals are also immune to lightning

strikes and power surges.

» Work with 50- or 62.5-micron multimode cable

with ST

connectors.

» Status LEDs and the remote unit’s seven-

segment diagnostic display make

troubleshooting easy.

» Intelligent PS/2 keyboard and mouse

emulation prevents PC lockup.

FEATURES

Sure you can use copper KVM extenders to access and control

a CPU from the next room or the next building. But what if you need

to work with a CPU a half mile away, or if you need more security,

or if you have to run cable right past a generator?

You need ServSwitch

™

Fiber Optic KVM Extenders. They greatly

extend the distance between a computer CPU and a keyboard,

mouse, and monitor—especially in electrically noisy environments.

Normal keyboard-, video-, and mouse-extension cables—

and the extenders that use them—can only go so far, and

electromagnetic noise can limit their distance and reliability.

But with a fiber optic solution like the ServSwitch Fiber Optic

KVM Extender, these concerns are a thing of the past. You can

leave a CPU in a secured cabinet or data center while you operate

it from a convenient remote user station.

Using at least three multimode fiber strands, the extender system

can reach as far as 0.6 miles (1 km) on either 62.5-µm or 50-µm fiber.

Fiber extension technology ensures perfect monitor image quality—

even at the farthest possible distances supported!

Each ServSwitch Fiber Optic KVM Extender kit consists of two

main components: a local module that you attach to an IBM

compatible CPU and a remote unit that you attach to the remote

keyboard, monitor, and mouse console. We even offer a version for

connecting stereo audio and serial devices, such as touch screens,

to your KVM fiber optic extender setup.

And because the extenders support dual access, you can add

a KVM console on the local end, too. That enables you to operate

the PC from either the local or remote user station.

Or, if you prefer, you can use the local KVM ports to feed into

a BLACK BOX

KVM switch.

The ServSwitch Fiber Optic KVM Extenders are compatible with

all standard keyboards and all standard 2-button, 3-button, and wheel

mice. Intelligent PS/2 keyboard and mouse emulation ensures that

your PCs don’t lock up.

Locating a CPU away from your workstation has a number

of advantages. For instance:

• Inindustrialapplications,youcanprotectdelicateservercircuitry

against dust, debris, moisture, and equipment vibration and keep

data communications safe from potential interference (emitting

from induction furnaces or current or load generators, for

example).

• Inenvironmentswheredatasecurityisthehighestpriority,

you can protect against data theft and unauthorized installation

of software.

• Italsosimplifiesthesetup,maintenance,configuration

and administration of server management workstations.

In addition to industrial applications, ServSwitch Fiber Optic KVM

Extenders can be deployed in:

• Callcenterswhereyouneedtoco-locateanumberofuser’s

computers.

• RetailorsimilarsettingswhereyouneedtokeepCPUssecure

and apart from monitors in kiosks and digital signage displays,

as well as user stations in publically accessible areas.

• Anyapplicationwhereyourequireremoteaccesscontrolof

mission-critical servers and the cable connecting local and

remote stations must be reliable and offer a high level of security.

No matter what their application, our compact KVM extenders

feature an unobtrusive footprint, so you can set them up for operation

in tight work spaces or data centers.
