NTI ST-C5USBV USB KVM extender

Condition: New

The XTENDEX® ST-C5USBV USB KVM extender provides local and remote KVM (USB keyboard, USB mouse and VGA monitor) access to a USB computer or NTI KVM switch up to 1,000 feet using CAT5/5e/6 UTP cable, which overcomes the USB five meter limitation.

Each ST-C5USBV consists of a zero-U local unit (connects to a computer, and provides local keyboard, monitor and mouse connections) and a desktop remote unit (connects to a keyboard, monitor and mouse or the inputs of an NTI switch). The local and remote units are interconnected via CAT5/5e/6 cable.

Sharpest and clearest VGA quality over CAT5 of any manufacturer.
Supports local and remote access.
Automatically adjusts the video quality to compensate for varying lengths of CAT5/5e/6 cable.
Simple On Screen Display (OSD) menus allow users to configure the extender, adjust for video skew, and fine-tune video quality for optimal video resolution.
Supports resolutions to 1920x1440.
Keyboard and mouse are hot-pluggable.
Keep-alive keyboard/mouse emulation for flawless operation.
Color-coded LEDs on both the local and remote units indicate power status and verify communication is established between the units.
Meets the electrostatic discharge (ESD) immunity requirements of IEC/EN 61000-4-2.

Remote Unit

Supports resolutions up to 1920x1440; refer to the resolution chart below for resolutions at different lengths.
One female 15-pin HD connector.
Two female USB Type A connectors.
The ST-C5USBV will only work with USB keyboards and mice. It is not designed to support other USB devices.
- Keyboard and mouse must be of the same platform.

Video Quality Adjustment

Automatic video quality adjustment provides optimum image quality for various lenths of CAT5 cable.
On Screen Display (OSD) menus provide additional control, allowing users to fine-tune video image quality and adjust for cable skew.Test Pattern for Cable Length
- Video skew can be adjusted up to 1,000 feet (305 meters) via OSD menus to prevent color separation, allowing the use of CAT6 cable.
