Search Tips...

Keyword Search
Our search engine uses any or all keywords typed in the text box to give you product search results.
For instance, typing in kvm will give you a broader set of results than kvm switch cables.

Note, however, that keywords in quotes are treated as a single phrase and will not be evaluated individually.

Booleans (AND, +, OR, NOT, -) are not supported.

Also, some keywords will not return results, and may automatically correct to a similar keyword.

Part Number Search Selection
Select this Search in the drop down box to search by part number instead of keywords.

Wild Card Search
The * character is only supported in a limited capacity. Using whole words is the best approach whenever possible.

"New Search" Radio Button
Search the entire section that you are currently in.

"Search Within Results" Radio Button
Enter keywords or a part number to limit your results within the previously searched results.


Other features

A list of all matching product categories or resources will appear in the upper left corner of the results page, when applicable, to help you further narrow your results, if you desire.

Use the "sort by" drop-down menu on the results page to sort by "most popular" and price (low to high or high to low)
in the store section.

    ServSwitch Wizard Extender Dual-Access Serial Kit with Bidirectional Stereo Audio and Skew Compensation


    Quick Facts

  • Provides resolution up to 1600 x 1200 at 656.1 feet (200 m).
  • Use the serial link to connect to graphics tablets, touch screens, or PDA cradles.
  • Rackmountable.
  • Includes local and remote modules.

  • Further Details

  • Offers local serial and stereo audio connections.
  • Provides transparent 56-kbps RS-232 serial transmission on the local end.
  • Built-in skew compensation (adjustable up to 62 ns) reduces color drift and keeps images sharp.
  • Includes additional brightness and sharpness control options.
  • True DDC support for optimal operation with modern graphics adapter cards.

  • KVM and serial extension with dual access and bidirectional stereo audio.
    If you need to transmit bidirectional stereo audio signals—in addition to serial and KVM signals—order the ServSwitch Wizard™ Extender Dual-Access Serial Kit with Bidirectional Stereo Audio and Skew Compensation (ACU5116A).

    The kit extends PS/2® keyboard and mouse signals—along with transparent serial signals, stereo audio, and the analog VGA signal—over a single CAT5, CAT5e, or CAT6 cable up to 656.1 feet (200 m). Use the serial link to connect to graphic tablets, touch screens, or PDA cradles. For applications that require a serial mouse attached to a CPU, simply add a passive adapter (contact our FREE Tech Support). The audio connections enable you to use speakers, headsets, and microphones at your remote console.

    The ACU5116A comes with a transmitter module for local CPU connections and a receiver module for remote console (KVM) connections, as well as an adapter cable to connect the local module to the keyboard, video, and mouse connectors at your CPU.

    Top-notch video and more.
    All ServSwitch Wizard Extender Kits with Skew Compensation fix color drift by making up for the differences in length between wire pairs in CAT5e or CAT6 cable, and compensation is provided by a 62-ns color delay that can be adjusted in 2-ns calibrations to correct delay skew problems. What’s more, this extender kit also comes with the latest video components and circuitry to enable higher bandwidth and ensure even clearer images. In fact, it delivers a maximum resolution of 1600 x 1200 at 60 Hz at distances up to 656.1 feet (200 m! The ACU5116A extender kit also provides additional brightness and sharpness control options for ultra-clear images.

    Today’s graphics adapter cards often require Display Data Channel (DDC) information for them to work correctly—or, in some cases, to work at all. This extender kit transmits an attached monitor’s DDC information to its remote module. Plus this information is stored in the local module in case of a link loss.

    The ACU5116A extender kit also features password protection to prevent unauthorized access to the connected CPU or your switching system.
