Black Box ACU5050A-R2 KVM Extender for VGA, USB, and Audio Over CATx

Black Box ACU5050A-R2 KVM Extender - VGA, USB, Audio, Dual-Access, CATx

Put extra distance between your USB-style peripherals and your CPU with the ServSwitch Wizard ACU5050A-R2 KVM USB Extender with Audio. The extender is ideal for high-density applications where you want full use of USB keyboards, mice, and other devices but there simply isn't room for a server nearby, or for applications where you want to keep CPUs secured and out of the way. All communications use inexpensive CAT5 or higher cable, so there's no special cabling needed to extend a USB bus from a PC to peripherals.

The ACU5050A-R2 extender enables you to transmit more than just signals for USB connections. You can use the same CAT5, CAT5e, or CAT6 cable link to transmit video signals too. And to transmit bi-directional audio for microphone or speaker signals for a truly multimedia workstation, just attach a second CAT5 or higher link. The extender package includes a local and a remote unit. Simply connect the local module to your PC or Sun® system and the remote module to the peripherals next to the user. The remote unit contains a built-in USB hub that provides four separate USB 2.0 channels for attaching multiple devices.

On the remote unit, video compensation switches and dials enable you to adjust the image and keep the video signal crisp and clear with no "shadowing." Using these functions, you can boost video frequencies to counter the effects of long cable runs. The remote unit also has a signal-boost feature that optimizes less-responsive microphones. To protect against power surges, both modules include internal automatic cut-out fuses.

What's more, you can mount both local and remote units in an optional space-saving chassis, which makes this extender perfect for fast-growing installations.
