The ATEN CE611 Mini USB DVI HDBaseT KVM Extender is a compact, cost-effective solution designed to bridge long distances between a host computer and a distant display, keyboard, and mouse. Built with the latest HDBaseT technologies, this extender transmits 1920 x 1200 DVI video, stereo audio, USB, and RS-232 signals up to 100 meters over a single Cat6/6a cable (or ATEN 2L-2910 Cat6 cable). Its small form factor makes installation quick and unobtrusive, ideal for control rooms, classrooms, digital signage, medical imaging, and multimedia studios where reliable, high-quality signal transmission is essential. The CE611 enables seamless, near-lossless video performance alongside peripheral expansion, letting a remote operator control a local PC as if they were sitting directly in front of it. With USB support for keyboards and mice, plus audio and RS-232 control, this extender creates a unified, clutter-free workspace without sacrificing performance.

• 1920 x 1200 video at distances up to 100 meters via HDBaseT over a single Cat6/6a cable (or ATEN 2L-2910 Cat6 cable), preserving sharp, color-accurate imagery for professional applications.
• USB extension for keyboard and mouse, plus USB peripherals at the remote end, delivering a true KVM experience with low latency and reliable HID device support.
• Stereo audio pass-through and RS-232 signaling enable synchronized media playback and remote device management from the console side, enhancing control and integration in complex setups.
• HDBaseT 5Play technology consolidates video, audio, USB, and control signals over a single cable, reducing rack clutter and simplifying installation in dense environments.

How to install ATEN CE611

• Connect the source computer to the transmitter unit using a DVI-D cable for video and a USB cable for keyboard/mouse peripherals. Ensure USB connections are established at the transmitter side.
• Connect the receiver unit to the display using a DVI-D cable. Connect any USB peripherals you want to use at the remote end (keyboard, mouse, or other USB devices) to the receiver.
• Run a single Cat6/6a cable between the transmitter and receiver units to carry video, audio, USB, and RS-232 signals. For best results, use a shielded Cat6/6a cable and keep runs as direct as possible to minimize interference.
• Apply power to both transmitter and receiver units using their respective external power adapters (if included). Ensure both ends are powered on before testing the connection.
• Power on the host computer and the remote console. Verify that the video appears on the display, USB peripherals are recognized at the remote end, and RS-232 devices respond as expected. If needed, adjust display settings to optimize for the DVI output.
