Overview

The GCE800 USB KVM Extender with on board audio allows access to a computer system from a remote console (USB keyboard, mouse, monitor, stereo speakers, and microphone). It is perfect for factory and construction sites, or any type of installation where the console needs to be in a conveniently accessible location, but you want the system equipment to reside in a safe place - away from dust, dirt, and harsh environmental influences. The GCE800 also is useful for control and security purposes. Store the system unit in a secure area at the same time that you put the console in a location that offers convenient access. Recognizing the increased importance of sound in the computing environment, the GCE800 improves on earlier models by incorporating audio capability. Now, audio (stereo microphone and stereo speakers) transmission can be extended to the remote system along with the KVM data.

The GCE800 USB KVM Extender improves on previous designs by using compact Cat 5 cable - the kind commonly used in Ethernet networks which makes for a much neater, more convenient, more reliable data transfer connection. In addition, the GCE800 has a built-in USB port that complies with the USB Mass Storage specification and supports USB Mass Storage compliant flash drives. Setup is as easy as can be: simply connect the computer system and local console components to the local GCE800 module, run the Cat 5 cable to the Remote GCE800 module (up to 820 ft) ; and connect the console to the Remote Module.

Note: .You can control numerous remote systems from a single console by combining the GCE800 with a KVM switch.
