The CAT5 LCD KVM console integrates multiple-port CAT5 KVM switches in a 1U
height console. Multiple computers can be controlled from the single monitorkeyboard-mouse console.
There is no better way to save time and money than with a CAT5 console installation.
By using the CAT5 console with its sliding console to manage your installation, you
will gain below benefits: (1) eliminate the expense of purchasing separate keyboards,
monitors and mice; (2) save all the space those extra components would take up; (3)
save space that a keyboard, monitor and mouse would take with a standard KVM
switch; (4) save on energy costs; and (5) eliminate the inconvenience and wasted
effort involved in constantly having to move from on computer to another.
It is easy and fast to install the CAT5 KVM console; you just need to connect
corresponding cables to the right ports of the CAT5 KVM and its module without
software configuration.
CAT5 Console can connect multiple computers with RJ-45 connector and CAT5
connecting cables. Transmission distance is up to more than 100M, so it doesn’t need
a KVM extender.
