Issue
My machine is long and my operators want to have the same display, mouse and keyboard at the front of the machine (feeder) and at the back (conveyor).
What do you recommend ?
Solution
We suggest using ATEN KVM extender (www.aten.com). You can run cables up to 150 meters long (>450 ft), enough for most applications.
People tell me that they did not only connect Display, Mouse, and Keyboard, but even a touch-screen using the audio extender not documented below.
Below is the CE-250 but ATEN offers newer model like CE-252. Distances up to 300m. Please check www.aten.com.
