Don’t you love it when something works as promised? This is especially true in the technical world. Well, this KVM extender is a prince of a deal and works exactly as promised right out of the box.
A KVM extender is also referred to as CAT5 KVM extender, and allows you to operate a keyboard, mouse and monitor as far away 1500ft away from your hosting computer. That is quite a distance.
Let me try to put it in perspective. At the local high school there is a quarter mile track the kids use for track practice. A quarter mile is 1,320 feet. That means you could put your monitor, keyboard and mouse at the start of the track and your computer at the finish. Attach the KVM extender receiver to the KVM devices and then the transmitter to the computer. Next, plug one end of a 1,500 ft Cat5/Cat5e/Cat6 network cable into the receiver at the monitor end. Now, grab a hold of the other end of the cable and jog all the way around this quarter mile track until you arrive at the computer. Take the cable end you have in your hand and plug it into the transmitter connected to your computer. Of course, to test this you need power, but the KVM extender won’t disappoint you. Fifteen hundred feet is a long way to send a KVM signal and the KVM extender does the job without any problems.
