Your server's in the IT room. Your desk is three floors up. The monitor signal dies somewhere in between and you're back on a phone call asking someone to "take a look" while you wait.
This ATEN KVM extender kit runs your VGA video, stereo audio, USB keyboard/mouse, and RS-232 serial over a single Cat5e cable up to 300 metres. You get a working console at both ends – local and remote – so whoever's in the room can jump in without unplugging you.
The auto-deskew function corrects RGB timing drift as the signal travels, so your image stays sharp at 200m just like it does at 10. Resolution holds up to 1920×1200@60Hz at 150m and 1280×1024@60Hz at 300m.
No software. No drivers. Plug the cables in, rack it if you want, and you're live. Hot-pluggable, so you can swap consoles without rebooting the host.
