Introduction

Introduction

The XTENDEX Series ST-C5KVM-600 PS/2 KVM Extender is designed to enable one PS/2 CPU to be
controlled by two users, one local and one remote. The remote user can be located as much as 600 feet away
from a PS/2 CPU via Category 5 shielded twisted-pair cable. The local user will be located near the PS/2 CPU.

The XTENDEX Series ST-C5KVM-600 PS/2 KVM Extender is extremely simple to install and has been
thoroughly tested to insure reliable performance. Through the use of Category 5 shielded twisted-pair cable it is
possible to economically increase the flexibility of a computer system. Here are some of the features and ways
this can benefit any workplace:

• Allows the placement of a monitor, keyboard, and mouse in a location where only these parts are

needed without having the CPU there too, taking up valuable space

• Allows a PS/2 CPU to be accessed by both a local and remote user (up to 600 feet away)

• Compatible with XGA, VGA, and SVGA systems

• Provides crisp and clear resolution up to 1280 x 1024 @ 600 feet

• Compatible with all NTI PS/2 switches and splitters, enabling the joining of products to create a

system that satisfies all networking needs

• Video quality adjustment, for varying lengths of cable, is automatic providing optimum image quality
