Introduction

Overview

The CE610 USB 2.0 DVI KVM Extender is a DVI and USB Extender that

supports ExtremeUSB® and HDBaseT technology. The CE610 USB 2.0 DVI

KVM Extender can extend DVI and USB 2.0 signals up to 300 ft (100 m) from

the source using a single Cat 5e/6 cable. The CE610 is equipped with USB

connectors which allow you to extend any USB device between the units. The

USB functionality provides not only peripheral sharing but also provides

support for touch panel control and file transfer. The CE610 is ideal for

transportation centers, medical facilities, and shopping malls, industrial kiosks

and for syncing files and folders between portable and desktop computers.

The CE610 allows access to a computer system from a remote console (USB

keyboard, monitor, and mouse). Because it allows access to a computer system

from a remote console, the CE610 is perfect for use in any type of installation

where you need to place the console where it is conveniently accessible, but

you want the system equipment to reside in a safe location – away from the dust

and dirt of the factory floor, or the harsh environmental influence of a

construction site, for example. This allows users to deploy system equipment

over large distances.

The CE610 is 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 the

most convenient location for user access. This is ideal for managing highly

confidential data systems.

The CE610 improves on previous designs by: 1) using inexpensive Cat 5e

cable instead of bulkier, more expensive, standard DVI cables, for a much

neater, more convenient, more reliable data transfer connection; and 2)

featuring a custom ASIC to ensure the utmost in reliability and compatibility.

Setup is as easy as can be – simply connect the computer system box; run the

Cat 5e cable up to 100 meters to the Remote Unit; and plug the remote console

into the Remote Unit.
