The IOGEAR GCE700 USB KVM Console Extender allows access to an USB computer system or USB KVM switch from a remote USB console (USB keyboard, monitor, and USB mouse), up to 500 feet away, via CAT5e cable.

The IOGEAR GCE700 USB KVM Console Extender is perfect for moving the console away from the computer or the KVM switch. Your console can be moved out of the server room to a location that may be more comfortable and quieter. IOGEAR GCE700 is also useful for security and monitoring purposes; you can place the unit in a secure area at the same time that you put the console in the most convenient location for user access and monitoring.

An IOGEAR GCE700 Console Extender is a cost effective solution because it uses inexpensive UTP (CAT5e) cabling to extend the distance, versus expensive and bulky coaxial cabling. IOGEAR GCE700 is easy to install and operate thanks to its Auto Signal Compensation (ASC) technology, which senses the distance and adjusts the signal levels accordingly so there is no need to do any DIP switch setting.
