KVM extenders are devices designed to increase the distance between a keyboard, monitor and mouse (KVM station) and a computer. USB keyboard and mouse protocols are only designed to run a distance of about 5-10m, and digital video signal quality is typically starting to deteriorate beyond about the same cable length (depending on the type of cable and interface)

They are a convenient solution to transmit these signals over long distances up to 150m (CATx) or even further via fibre cables. The main purpose of KVM extenders is to provide point-to-point computer extension and giving access to computers from remote locations (e.g. secure data centres), ultimately helping to increase productivity workflow and workspace ergonomics.

KVM extenders are used for a range of applications such as:

Remote PC access: enable remote high-speed KVM access to a single computer at HD display resolutions

Multi PC access: control multiple remote computers with a single set of peripherals for an extended desktop experience

Improve workspace ergonomics: reduce noise and clutter at the work place

Secure computers in safeguarded locations: protect them from damage, technical failures or major power outages

Data access protection: prevent content theft or unauthorised network access by limiting software/hardware access.
