Description

StarTech SV565UTP USB PS/2 KVM Console Extender CAT5 Extender

Overview

The StarTech SV565UTP is a CAT5 KVM extender kit designed to extend a computer's KVM console (USB keyboard, PS/2 keyboard, PS/2 mouse, and VGA video) up to 150 meters (492 feet) over a single CAT5e or CAT6 Ethernet cable. This unit is ideal for industrial environments, security monitoring stations, or any scenario where you need to place a server or computer in a secure, climate-controlled location while operating the console remotely. The SV565UTP allows for a local console connection at the host and a remote console connection at the extender's endpoint.

Compatibility

This KVM extender is compatible with standard USB keyboards and mice, PS/2 keyboards and mice, and VGA video signals. It supports resolutions up to 1280x1024 at 300 feet (100 meters) and 1024x768 at its maximum cable length of 150 meters. It requires a CAT5e or CAT6 Ethernet cable for connection between the local and remote units. The host unit connects to the computer via VGA and USB/PS/2 ports, while the remote unit provides these same connections for your console peripherals.

Installation Notes

The SV565UTP requires a standard CAT5e or CAT6 Ethernet cable for connection between the local and remote units. The maximum supported resolution is dependent on the cable length used. For optimal performance and resolution, use high-quality shielded CAT5e or CAT6 cable. The unit operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).
