FEATURES
Every day you face the music, give the hard speeches, make the
sale, and represent your company to the masses. You’re the
consummate professional giving presentations. So when you need
to really wow the audience, you and a partner can enhance your
professional image with the ServSwitch
™
Brand CAT5 Keyboard
and Mouse Extender Kit.
The kit enables your partner to operate the computer from the
rear of your presentation area while you give the pitch in the front
to the audience. There are no distractions, and you’re free from
standing next to a computer.
For example, you can attach a laptop computer between
a projector and the local unit, then run Category 5 UTP or STP cable
from the local module to the remote module. Connect a keyboard
or mouse to the remote module, and your partner is able to run
computer graphics from the back of the room.
All keyboard and mouse signals are fully buffered to ensure
consistent remote operation of your computer.
The kit also offers surge protection on the CAT5 link to protect
against damage from overvoltages, surges, or spikes.
The ServSwitch Brand CAT5 Keyboard and Mouse Extender Kit
works with all operating systems, no software required.
Setup is fast and simple, too. Use the included coax extension

cables to attach the CPU to the local module. Next, plug the remote
keyboard and mouse into the remote module. Using CAT5 cable,
connect the local and remote modules. Then connect the included
power supply to the remote module. That’s it—you and your partner
are ready to knock ’em dead.
Because the extender performs complete PS/2 keyboard and
mouse emulation, you can boot a computer without having
a keyboard or mouse attached to the CPU. The com-puter will start
up even if the remote module is not powered or has no keyboard
or mouse connected to it.
The ServSwitch Brand CAT5 Keyboard and Mouse Extender Kit
is also compatible with the Microsoft
®
IntelliMouse
®
. Use the kit with
this mouse and other wheel mice with confidence.
