6 CAT5/5e KVM Extender Range

2. Overview

Introduction

The SDLink products described in this manual enable high-resolution video,

PS/2 keyboard and mouse or SUN keyboard, stereo audio, and serial port

signals to be communicated up to 300m over over Category 5, 5e or higher

CATx cable.

A basic KVM extension system comprises a Local Unit (transmitter) and a

Remote Unit (receiver). The Local Unit connects directly to the computer (or a

KVM switch system) using the supplied cable(s). The user console (keyboard,

mouse and monitor) attaches to the Remote Unit. The Remote and Local Units

communicate video and data information along the connecting CAT5/5e cable

(Figure 1).

Within the product range, models are available with combinations of the

following:

• Serial transmission: serial COM port for asynchronous RS232 devices

operating at 1200, 9600 or 19,200 bps (8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit).

• Dual access: allowing a second user console at the Local Unit.
