ServSwitch ACU1001A KVM Console/Extender make it easy to put your CPUs and ServSwitch KVM switches where you want them. Because these extenders use flexible, inexpensive CAT5 UTP cable, cabling is easy.

It's time you put your servers, CPUs, and ServSwitch family KVM switches in safe locations where they can be administered easily and kept secure.

The ServSwitch CAT5 KVM Extenders send keyboard, video, and mouse signals long distances across a single solid-core 4-pair Category 5 UTP or STP cable. (If possible, do not use "higher" cables-CAT5e, CAT6, and so on-because the tight wire twists in these cables actually degrade video signals. For details, see "For installations with higher-capacity cable".

Plug your monitor, keyboard, and mouse (or a cable running to one of the CPU ports of a KVM switch) into an extender's Remote Unit. Then run CAT5 cable from the Remote Unit to the extender's Local Unit. Use extension cable(s) to connect your CPU or the user port of a KVM switch to the Local Unit. Plug everything in, turn it on, and go.

The ideal high-resolution KVM extenderThe ServSwitch™ DVI-D with USB 2.0 KVM Extender preserves the quality of the DVI video signal and offers real-time transmission without the delays and compression that degrades the high-resolution viewing experience.

USB HID supportThe extender supports of a variety of HIDs. Keyboards and mice are the most common HIDs, but other devices based on HID protocol, including some touch screens, will work as well.

DDC read channelThe DDC read capability enables true EDID information to be received from the attached display. This guarantees optimum plug-and-play support.

Use the KVM Extenders to send high-resolution 4K@60Hz (4:2:0 8-bit) video as well as signals for USB keyboards, mice, and other human interface devices (HID), and power and control signals. The extender includes a local unit that attaches to the CPU and a remote unit that connects the user's KVM console. But you can also plug in a monitor on the local side - which is great for monitoring and administration right at the computer. Requires only one power supply.
