Overview

Because the CE-250 KVM Extender System allows access to a
computer system from a remote console (keyboard, monitor, and
mouse), it is perfect for factory and construction sites, or any type of
installation where the console needs to be in a conveniently accessible
location, but you want the system equipment to reside in a safe place -
away from dust, dirt, and harsh environmental influences.

The CE-250 System is also useful for control and security purposes,
where you can have the system unit in a secure area at the same time
that you put the console in a location that offers convenient access.

The CE-250 KVM Extender provides the ideal means to access the
remote system box, since it improves on previous designs by using
inexpensive Category 5 cable - the kind commonly used in Ethernet
networks - instead of bulkier, more expensive, standard cables.
Category 5 cabling makes for a much neater, more convenient, more
reliable data transfer connection.

The CE-250 features a custom ASIC to ensure the utmost in reliability
and compatibility, and can also sense the distance to the system and
automatically adjust the gain to compensate.

Setup is as easy as can be - simply connect the computer system box
and local console to the Local CE-250 Module; run the Cat. 5 cable to
the Remote CE-250 Module (up to 150 meters away); and plug the
remote console into the Remote Module.

Note: You can control numerous remote systems from a single

console by combining the CE-250 with a KVM switch.
