Introduction

Overview

The CE250A KVM Extender allows access to a computer system from a remote

console (keyboard, monitor, and mouse). It is perfect for factory and

construction sites, or any type of installation where the console needs to be in

a conveniently accessible location, but you want the system equipment to

reside in a safe place - away from dust, dirt, and harsh environmental

influences.

The CE250

A is also useful for control and security purposes, since you can

store the system unit in a secure area at the same time that you put the console

in a location that offers convenient access.

The CE250

A KVM Extender provides the ideal means to access the remote

system box, since it improves on previous designs by using compact,

inexpensive Cat 5 cable – the kind commonly used in Ethernet networks –

instead of bulkier, more expensive, standard cables. Cat 5 makes for a much

neater, more convenient, more reliable data transfer connection.

A key feature of the CE250

A is built-in 8KV ESD protection and 2KV surge

protection. It also features a custom ASIC that ensures the utmost in reliability

and compatibility. It senses the distance to the system and automatically

adjusts the gain to compensate.

Setup is as easy as can be – simply connect the computer system box and local

console to the Local CE250

A module, run the Cat 5 cable to the Remote

CE250

A module (up to 150 meters away); and plug the remote console into the

Remote Module.

Note: You can control numerous remote systems from a single console by

combining the CE250A with a KVM switch.
