Overview
CrystalView CAT5 allows you to position your KVM station up to 1,000 feet away from your computer using common twisted pair CAT5 cable.

Perfect for application in an office or hazardous environment, the unit allows one to safeguard computers while permitting easy access. The extender can be used to prevent theft, centralize system administration, avoid heat and cooling problems, and manage space.
