Introduction
Introduction
The XTENDEX Series ST-C5VRS-600 Video and RS232 Extender is designed to enable one CPU to be viewed
or accessed by two touchscreen monitors, one local and one remote. The remote monitor can be located as
much as 600 feet away from a CPU via Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair cable. The local monitor will be
located near the CPU.
The XTENDEX Series ST-C5VRS-600 Video and RS232 Extender is extremely simple to install and has been
thoroughly tested to insure reliable performance. Through the use of Category 5 unshielded 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 touchscreen monitor in a location where only this is needed without having
the CPU there too, taking up valuable space
• Allows a CPU to be accessed by both a local and remote user (up to 600 feet away)
• Compatible with XGA, VGA, and SVGA systems
• RS232 support enables the extension of a serial device (i.e. touch-screen monitor or mouse)
• Provides crisp and clear resolution up to 1280 x 1024 @ 600 feet
• Compatible with all NTI video switches and splitters, enabling the joining of products to create a
system that satisfies all networking needs
• Video quality is automatic providing optimum image quality
