Desk-side KVM console
The Emerson Network Power AMX5100 is a 1U rack-mountable KVM console designed for operators who need direct, wired control of servers connected to an AMX5000 analog matrix switch. It integrates a VGA display connection, two PS/2 peripheral ports and an RJ-45 uplink in a single unit that sits at the user's desk.
Analog CAT 5 reach and resolution
The console transmits keyboard, video and mouse signals over standard CAT 5 cable to the matrix switch, automatically compensating for cable type and length variations up to the switch's supported distance. On-screen resolution is limited to SXGA at 1900 x 1600, so higher-definition sources will be downscaled at the console.
Replaces standalone monitor, keyboard and mouse sets
This unit consolidates separate desk peripherals and a dedicated KVM extender into one rack-mountable appliance, reducing cable clutter and power outlets at the operator position. The upgrade is worthwhile when an existing AMX5000 matrix infrastructure is in place and centralised, real-time server access is required.
