OVERVIEW

MultiStation CATx is a sharing device that will extend two KVM user stations up to 1000 feet from one CPU over CATx cable. This unique product allows two users located at two different workstations to access the same computer • one at a time. The two users can't use the computer at once, but must wait until one user relinquishes control in order to have access. It supports VGA video resolution up to 1920 x 1200 and automatically performs cable length compensation and skew adjustments to produce a high quality crystal clear picture, with the ability to fine-tune video equalization and gain with simple keyboard commands.

Multistation CATx is offered in two models:

  • PS/2 Dual Access Unit – Allows 1 user to control the computer at a time with a 2 second delay between transferring control
  • USB Dual Access Unit – Allows both users to control the computer with no delay
