System introduction

Thank you for choosing the Rose Electronics ViewLink CATx enhanced KVM extender. The ViewLink CATx is the result of Rose Electronics commitment to providing state-of-the-art solutions for today’s demanding workplace. The ViewLink CATx has proven to be a valuable investment for any business, big or small, that has a need to access computers, servers, or KVM switches from remote locations. Using the ViewLink CATx to remotely access your computer has several applications that make it convenient for the users. You can locate your computers in a secure area and access them from other unsecured areas. Computers used in hazardous industrial environments can be accessed remotely, keeping the users safe and unexposed to any hazards.

The ViewLink CATx system consists of two Units, a transmitter Unit and a receiver Unit. The transmitter connects easily to your computer or KVM switch. The receiver Unit connects to a remote keyboard, video monitor and a mouse. The transmitter and receiver units are connected together with industry standard CAT5, CAT5e, or CAT6 shielded or unshielded, solid core twisted-pair cable terminated with RJ45M connectors. All models can extend the distance from the CPU up to 1,000 feet. Applications can be executed; computer maintenance and any function normally done can be performed with virtually no degradation in video quality and performance.

Installation only takes a few minutes since the ViewLink CATx automatically sets up various parameters and functions based on your system topology. There are no jumpers to set or adjustment knobs to turn. Parameters like video gain are automatically compensated for and properly adjusted based on the length of Catx cable used. Some fine tuning can easily be done using keyboard commands, but are rarely needed.

The only cable needed is a CATx cable to connect the transmitter to the receiver. CATx cable can be ordered from Rose Electronics in 25-1,000 foot lengths.
