• Enables a keyboard, monitor, and mouse to be located up to 650 feet from a computer or KVM switch

• Uses a single Category 5 (or better) twisted pair cable to carry all the keyboard, video and mouse signals

• Fine user-adjustable video compensation enables the video quality to be maximised for any given length of cable. Supports automatic and manual video compensation (compensation mode selectable by option switch)
