Industrial Monitor KVM Extender

Product Description

The KVM Extender allows placement of an industrial monitor, keyboard, mouse and serial touch screen up to 1000 feet away from the computer or server using a single CATx cable.

Using this system, an economical non-industrial computer can be placed in a secure, climate-controlled environment leaving only our rugged industrial flat panel monitors exposed to factory conditions.

The KVM Extender is available in three configurations:

1. Stand-alone KVM Extender - for use with Panel Mount displays. Unit can be mounted behind the panel near the monitor, or to the rear of Panel Mount Monitors using our Accessory Mounting Bracket. NEMA 1 rated.
2. Rear-mount KVM Extender - for use with Hope Industrial's Universal Mount displays. Extender is mounted in a modular NEMA 4/4X/12 enclosure which is attached to the rear of the display. All cables are routed through the KVM Extender and hidden from sight. KVM2EXT models have been UL Rated for Class I, II, III, Division 2 Hazardous Locations when used with Universal Mount Monitors.
3. Pedestal-mount KVM Extender - for use with Hope Industrial's pedestal mount solutions. KVM Extender is inserted into the pedestal where it is hidden and protected to the NEMA rating.
