Black Box ACU5110A KVM Extender - VGA, PS/2, RS232, Single-access, Catx, Skew Compensation
Overview
The Black Box ACU5110A KVM extender provides a robust solution for extending VGA video, PS/2 keyboard and mouse, and RS232 serial data up to 1000 feet (305 meters) over a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable. This unit is designed for environments where the console must be physically separated from the host system, such as industrial control rooms, secure facilities, or digital signage applications. Its skew compensation feature ensures sharp video quality even at maximum distances.
Compatibility
This KVM extender is designed to interface with standard VGA monitors, PS/2 keyboards and mice, and RS232 serial devices. It is compatible with most PCs and servers featuring VGA output and PS/2 ports. The RS232 port supports hardware and software flow control, making it suitable for connecting modems, printers, or other serial peripherals. It functions independently of the operating system, allowing for use with various platforms.
Installation Notes
Installation requires one Cat5e or Cat6 cable for signal transmission. Ensure the cable is terminated correctly to EIA/TIA 568A or 568B standards. The maximum supported distance is 1000 feet (305 meters). The unit requires external power supplies for both the local and remote units, which are typically sold separately or as part of a kit. Ensure proper ventilation around both the transmitter and receiver units to prevent overheating.
