Belkin Ships its Class Leading CAT5 KVM Switch
for Mid-Range Business
Designed for
small to medium server environments, the SMB CAT5 KVM Switch
reduces server
rack cable clutter and extends range
(
“Until now, the
cost of using CAT5 extension technology in conjunction with KVM switches was
prohibitively expensive for many companies and organisations,” said Philip
Hodgson, Product Manager for Access Solutions at Belkin. “Based on the world
number-one selling mid-range PRO2 KVM switch, the SMB CAT5 family is not only
value-priced, but offers the same robust feature set, reliability, and of
course, dependable Belkin service and support.”
The OmniView SMB
CAT5 KVM Switch expands upon the functionality of the popular PRO2 KVM Switch
family. By adding CAT5 extension technology, the SMB CAT5 KVM is backwards
compatible and interoperable with the PRO2 KVM. Available in 4-, 8-, and
16-port models, the SMB CAT5 KVM offers easy expandability through dedicated
daisy chain ports to control up to 256 servers. It extends the distance between
the server and switch up to 30 metres. The SMB CAT5 KVM saves valuable rack
space, fitting in a 1U rack shelf, and working in conjunction with compact
Belkin Server Interface Modules.
