The CrystalView Mini USB system consists of two Units, a Local Unit and a

Remote Unit. The Local Unit connects to your computers keyboard, monitor and mouse ports or to a Rose KVM switch. The Remote Unit connects to a keyboard, video monitor and mouse. The Local and Remote Units are connected together with industry standard CAT-5, CAT-5e, or CAT-6 shielded or unshielded, solid core twisted-pair cable terminated with RJ45 connectors.

All models can extend the distance from the CPU with up to 150 feet.
