KVM/USB Extenders Over Category Cable
BZBGEAR KVM/USB Extenders Over Category Cable
KVM extenders are specialized devices that enable users to extend the distance between a computer and its peripherals—namely the keyboard, video display, and mouse—over significant distances. These extenders typically transmit signals via a single-category cable, such as Cat5e, Cat6, or Cat7, providing a cost-effective and efficient solution for long-distance connectivity. This technology is especially valuable in environments where computers must be housed in secure or controlled locations while allowing users to access and operate them seamlessly from a remote workstation, sometimes hundreds of feet away.

What are KVM Extenders?
How KVM Extenders Work
KVM extenders operate by transmitting keyboard, video, and mouse signals from a computer to a remote device, which can be located up to several hundred feet away.
The communication between the transmitter and receiver is often bidirectional, allowing for the transfer of data in both directions. For instance, a USB KVM extender not only extends video signals but also supports peripheral devices like flash drives and printers, providing a fully remote workstation experience. The process typically involves two key components:
- The Transmitter (TX): Connected to the computer or server, the TX of the extender captures the KVM signals and converts them for transmission over a category cable.
- The Receiver (RX): Located at the remote output source, the receiver of the extender decodes the signals and outputs them to the keyboard, monitor, and mouse. This enables users to then control their PC on the remote output source while the PC is in another location.

Benefits of Using KVM Extenders
The use of a KVM extender offers several advantages, making them an invaluable tool in various settings:
Extended Range
One of the most significant benefits of a KVM extender is the ability to extend control over long distances. Depending on the type of extender and the quality of the category cable used, distances of up to 300 feet or more can be achieved.
Improved Security
By placing the computer or server in a secure location and controlling it remotely, KVM extenders help to enhance the security of sensitive data and systems. This is particularly important in industries like finance, healthcare, and government.
Noise Reduction
Keeping noisy computer equipment away from the work area contributes to a quieter and more comfortable environment, especially in settings like recording studios, broadcasting facilities, and offices.
Space Efficiency
In environments where space is limited, such as small offices or studios, KVM extenders allow the computer to be placed in a separate room, freeing up valuable workspace. Additionally, the transmitter and receiver of a KVM extension kit are fairly compact and durable, allowing for discreet placement of the components in most environments.
Versatility
With options like KVM extenders over Ethernet, HDMI KVM extenders, and USB KVM extenders, these devices offer versatility in terms of connectivity and functionality. They can be adapted to suit a wide range of applications, from basic office setups to complex industrial control systems.
