PS/2 KVM Extender to 500 ft

The StarTech SV565UTP extends a single PS/2 or USB computer with a VGA monitor up to 500 ft (150 m) over Cat5 cabling. It provides one computer connection and one monitor connection at 1024 x 768 resolution. The unit suits server-room administrators who need remote console access without a local keyboard, mouse or display.

Passive operation with no fan

The extender draws power from the host interface and contains no moving parts, so it adds no audible noise to the rack or desk. Power consumption is negligible in normal use and requires no external adapter. The compact enclosure measures 6.1" x 3.0" x 0.8" and weighs 0.66 lbs.

Cat5 link frees rack space

A single Cat5 cable carries video and PS/2 signals between the local and remote modules, eliminating bulky VGA and keyboard cables across the room. The remote console requires a PS/2 keyboard and mouse, while the host accepts USB or PS/2. No software or drivers are needed on the connected computer.

Questions about this item

How do I install the SV565UTP and what step is often missed?

Connect the local unit to the computer with its PS/2 and VGA cables, run a Cat5 cable up to 500 ft, then attach the remote unit with PS/2 keyboard, mouse and VGA monitor; the step often missed is using a PS/2 keyboard and mouse at the remote console even when the host is USB.

What maintenance or replacement will the SV565UTP need later?

The passive extender has no moving parts or batteries; only the Cat5 cable or PS/2 peripherals may need replacement if they become damaged.

What limit appears first during sustained use of the SV565UTP?

The video resolution is fixed at 1024 x 768 and the extension distance cannot exceed 500 ft, so either bound becomes the limiting factor.
