Overview

Because the B013-000 Console Extender System allows access to a computer system from a remote console (keyboard, monitor, and mouse), it is perfect for factory and construction sites, or any type of installation where the console needs to be kept 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 B013-000 System is also useful for control and security purposes, where you can have the system unit in a secure area at the same time that you put the console in a location that offers convenient access.

The B013-000 Console Extender provides the ideal means to access the remote system box, since it improves on previous designs by using inexpensive Category 5 STP cable - the kind commonly used in Ethernet networks - instead of bulkier, more expensive, standard cables, and can also sense the distance to the system and automatically adjust thegain.

Category 5 cabling makes for a much neater, more convenient, more reliable data transfer connection. Setup is as easy as can be - simply connect the PC system box and local console to the Local B013-000 Module; run the STP cable to the Remote B013-000 Module (up to 150 meters away); and plug the remote console into the Remote Module.

Note: You can control numerous remote systems from a single console by combining the B013-000 with a KVM switch.
