The Avocent® HMX 6000 Series is an IP-based high performance KVM (Keyboard, Video and Mouse) extender that forms part of the matrix solution. This enables you to locate your critical computing hardware in a secure and temperature controlled environment away from the user work station, while maintaining a pixel perfect desktop experience. Extension distance is not limited to a single 100 meter cable length - If you need to extend further, simply add a 1GbE network switch to achieve even greater distances. The units are also fitted with SFP cages to accept fiber optic transceivers which enable much greater extension distances. This significant asset is what gives you the freedom to use the full variety of cable links that you typically find within an average structured cabling system. The result is that you can achieve reliable links, regardless of whether the cables are CAT5e, CAT6 or CAT7.
