Welcome

Introduction

Thank you for choosing the ServSwitch Wizard SRX extenders which provide a very effective way to put distance between your computer and its peripherals.

The compact casings and ease of use of the Wizard SRX modules belie the ingenuity of their operation. Using our proprietary transmission techniques we are able to reliably transfer more signals than ever before along a single length of Category 5, 5e or

6 twisted pair cabling. What this means for you is that your video, audio, USB keyboard, USB mouse and two other USB channels are all readily and reliably available at up to 50 metres away.

Using the Wizard SRX extenders does not mean that you need to compromise on functionality in any way. Our highly efficient transmission methods mean that high video resolutions of up to 1920

x 1440 are supported together with CD quality digital sound that produces no crackles - even in the quietest interludes. The USB connections are seamless and thanks to our unique ‘Bi-tripos’ circuitry, four full speed USB 2.0 devices can

be used simultaneously with full support for disconnect/re-connect at any time without causing errors.
