Description
The CatXQ Console Rx controls access to a PC or KVM switch remotely up to a distance of 300m when connected to a CatX Universal Tx or a CatX Universal Tx2. When the transmitter console is in use, the remote receiver will automatically switch off the VGA output to its screen, preventing an operator viewing any screen activity while an administrator is accessing the system from the transmitter console.
This product also incorporates XSQ™ technology that will eliminate the cable skew effect, especially over longer distances of UTP cable.
These KVM extenders include an audio link allowing the use of speakers and a microphone from either the Tx or the Rx unit.
There is no additional software requirement but the CatXQ Console Rx requires an external 5VDC PSU to operate.
All the CatXQ units in the KVM Range output SVGA up to 300 m, higher resolutions are achievable at shorter distances – see Resolution / Distance.
