Cat5 Reach


Raritan’s KVM extenders enable you to remotely access a single PC or multiple servers connected to a KVM switch at distances over the traditional 100 ft for CAT5 wiring. The remote user console (keyboard, monitor, and mouse) can be up to 1,000 feet away from the PC or KVM switch.

Cat5 Reach allows you to:

  • Operate a PC from wherever you want to be.    
  • Keep your PC in a clean, secure environment.    
  • Protect the PC, applications and valuable data.    
  • Add a local user console, in addition to the remote user console.    
  • Control all servers connected to a KVM switch remotely.

Cat5 Reach is easy to install and easy to use. Each Cat5 Reach KVM Extender model is packaged as a kit that includes a transmitter and receiver pair for use with your Enhanced Cat5 UTP cable. Just plug a keyboard, video and mouse into the receiver and operate. Automatic Video Tuning (AVT) adjusts video quality automatically, so no manual adjustments are needed.
