Introduction

The RK-DVS200 is the ideal solution for extending DVI-D signals to remote locations up to 220 feet away. It is the ideal way to extend up to 16 workstation computers from one location to another location or various locations. It is fully compatible with Mac, PC and Linux standards. Up to 16 displays can be extended easily from a rack without the complication or expense of multiple extenders. Rather than buy multiple extenders for rack components, and having to find power strips or numerous power outlets for the adapters, the SmartAVI rack series of extenders allows for up to 16 inputs and 16 outputs from a single rack device. The extender comes in three configurations: four inputs and four outputs, eight inputs and eight outputs, and 16 inputs and 16 outputs. The extender can achieve the full output distance of 220 feet when using a Cat6 23AWG STP cable.
