The CE100 USB KVM Extender with superior video quality and built-in ESD protection allows access to a computer system from a remote USB console (USB keyboard, USB mouse, and monitor). The CE100 improves on previous designs by: 1) incorporating a compensation adjustment function at the Remote unit for greater video quality; and 2) using inexpensive Cat 5e cable, instead of bulky, expensive, standard cables, to provide a neater, more convenient, more reliable data transfer connection.
