XTENDEX™ ST-C5USBV Local and Remote Units

Features & Applications

The XTENDEX™ USB KVM Extender is a convenient way to locate a USB keyboard, USB mouse and VGA monitor up to 305 meters from a USB computer or NTI KVM Switch using a single, inexpensive CAT5 UTP cable, which replaces expensive, bulky KVM extension cables, and overcomes USB five meter limitation.

The ST-C5USBV KVM Extender consists of a zero-U local unit (which connects to a computer, server or the outputs of an NTI switch) and a desktop remote unit (which connects to a keyboard, monitor and mouse or the inputs of an NTI switch). The local and remote units are interconnected via CAT5 cable.
  • Automatically adjusts the video quality to compensate for varying lengths of CAT5 cable.
  • Simple On Screen Display (OSD) menus allow users to configure the extender, adjust for video skew, and fine-tune video quality for optimal video resolution.
    • Video skew can be adjusted up to 305 meters via OSD menus to prevent color separation, allowing the use of CAT6 cable.
  • Maximum 1024x768 video resolution at 305 meters; higher resolutions are supported at shorter distances.
  • Keyboard and mouse are hot-pluggable.
  • Keep-alive keyboard/mouse emulation for flawless operation.
  • Color-coded LEDs on both the local and remote units indicate power status and verify communication is established between the units.
