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.

BZBGEAR Innovations

BZBGEAR offers a cutting-edge selection of KVM and USB extenders over category cable, including our award-winning HDBaseT HDMI/USB-C signal extender and switcher. By carefully analyzing market trends and customer needs, we develop innovative solutions that address real-world demands, ensuring seamless connectivity and top-tier performance.

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.

What Sets BZBGEAR KVM Extenders Apart

Applications and Use Cases

KVM extenders are used across a wide range of industries and applications. Some of the most common use cases include:

Data Centers

In data centers, KVM extenders are used to manage servers from a centralized control room, minimizing the need for physical access to the server racks. This enhances security and reduces the risk of unauthorized access.

Broadcasting

Broadcasters often use KVM extenders to control video editing systems from a distance, ensuring that noisy equipment is kept away from the studio. HDMI KVM extenders are particularly useful in this scenario for maintaining high video quality.

Medical Facilities

In hospitals and medical facilities, KVM extenders allow medical staff to control diagnostic equipment from a sterile environment, reducing the risk of contamination. 4K KVM extenders are often used in imaging and radiology departments where high-resolution displays are necessary.

Industrial

In industrial environments, KVM extenders are used to control machinery and systems from a safe distance, protecting operators from hazardous conditions. USB KVM extenders are commonly employed here to facilitate the use of specialized peripheral devices.

Types of KVM Extenders

KVM extenders come in various types, each designed to meet specific needs and environments. The key differences may include supported cable types, number of ports available, and extension range. Below is an overview of the most common types:

NDI PTZ Camera

With NDI (Network Device Interface) technology, an NDI camera sends video and audio over a local network for live streams, offering enhanced streaming capabilities.

Dante AV-H PTZ Camera

Featuring Dante AV-H technology by Audinate, a Dante AV-H camera streams audio and video over a network, suitable for robust, commercial-grade setups.

KVM Extender Over Ethernet

These cameras offer SDI, HDMI, and IP streaming outputs, allowing multiple output methods simultaneously.

USB PTZ Camera

A USB camera is equipped with USB output ports ideal for videoconferencing and streaming, providing an additional camera source for PC/MAC applications.

Auto Tracking Camera

Utilizing computer vision (CV) artificial intelligence, these cameras automatically follow the subject, making them popular for teams with limited staff.

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.
