Wizard Extender – VGA, USB 1.1, Audio

USB, Audio and VGA over a single CATx cable
The new Wizard USB Extender combines high-resolution VGA and Audio with high- speed data extension for distances up to 300 metres over a single CAT5, CAT5e or CAT6, CAT7 or CAT7a (CATx) up to 300m.

High image and data quality
The extender kit supports VGA resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz in crystal-clear quality over large distances. The setting of the video has never been easier. Use your keyboard to enter cable length, cable type and video gain. Test patterns assist you to adjust the timing of each colour to fine tune your image.

Single- and Dual-Video Option
The ACU5050A-R2 extends one VGA channel plus peripheral signals over a single CATx cable. The ACU5250A-R2 is capable of extending two VGA channels alongside the peripheral signals using two CATx cables.

Transparent USB 1.1
The Wizard USB Extender is compatible with USB 1.1. It can run at up to 12 Mbps down the link at full distance. As it is transparent, it does not require any driver installation on the attached PC or sever. USB compatible devices such as memory sticks and keyboards or mice are recognised by the USB host as though connected directly. The remote unit has a built-in 4-Port USB Hub, allowing up to 4 USB peripherals to be connected to it.

Stereo audio sound
Additionally, the Wizard USB Extender transmits audio over the same single CATx cable. Connect speakers at the remote as well as local side.

Local Monitoring
Connect a screen to the local unit and monitor your computer locally.

Applications
The combination of VGA, Audio and USB extension offers a variety of new options.

Security
Not only can the Wizard USB extender be used for standard KVM extension, but the integrated USB also allows additional attachment of storage devices such as floppy or CD-ROM drives.

High-end computing
Apple/Mac servers and workstations - which only provide USB interfaces for peripherals (keyboard/mouse) - can now be operated from a noise-free environment. The Wizard USB Extender also shuts out noise and reduces space needs at the KVM site.
