What is a KVM Extender?
A KVM extender is a smart solution that bridges the gap between your computer and your workstation. It allows you to control your physically distant computer by your keyboard, video display, and mouse. With KVM extenders, you can work seamlessly and efficiently while maintaining the same level of performance as if your computer was right in front of you.
