Extender Controlling 4 CPUs from another room

    I'm interesting in your product, but I don't know very well the solution, let me explain you our case.

    We have one server cabinet in the server room (4 CPUs). In the other room I have one console with some workstations, and need to integrate in one monitor, keyboard and mouse all these server.

    The distance between 2 rooms are 100 meters approximate.

    You think is possible do this to get access to 4 servers by a KVM switch and extension?

    DVI port is a video port in my server or display port can be an option.

    I was seeing the model High-Density Dual-DVI + Audio KVM Extender - 4-Port Receiver maybe can do with that model, you tell me the best solution.

    Thanks in advance.

    [​IMG]You won't need the High-Density Dual-DVI + Audio KVM Extender - 4-Port Receiver you mentioned. Instead you will need a two-prong solution.
    1) A 4-port DVI KVM switch in the server room. This switch will allow you to use one console to control anyone of your 4 servers.
    2) A DVI KVM extender, preferably with local access, such as KLX-500 or Cat5 Reach DVI, which will extend the console away from the switch, allowing you to position it in the other room. Using keyboard hot-keys you will be able to use the console in the other room to instruct the switch to switch among the 4 connected server. The local-access feature of the extender will allow you to connect another console by the switch, so that you can use a console locally when in need to service your servers.
