The GCE250 KVM Extender allows access to a computer  (or KVM)  from a remote console (keyboard, monitor, and mouse). It is perfect for any situation where the  computer needs to be in a protected area for environmental or security considerations.  The console can be located in a convenient location up to 490 feet away from the server or KVM, while your computers remain secured.

The GCE250 uses standard CAT-5 cable so you can cut your connection to the exact length needed, which makes placement your choice rather than accommodating someone else's compromise of a correct cable length.

A key feature of the GCE250 is built-in 8KV ESD protection and 2KV surge protection. It also features a custom ASIC that ensures the utmost in reliability and compatibility. It senses the distance to the system and automatically adjusts the gain to compensate.
