Description CATpro2 computer modules
The CATpro2 computer modules connect the computer's external keyboard, video, mouse, and audio interfaces with the CATCenter NEO system.
The CATpro2 modules combine signals, process them, and use CAT cables to transmit said signals to the KVM matrix switch.
Each CATpro2 has a unique ID helping you locate the device within a CATCenter NEO system.
We provide the following CATpro2 variants:
Standard
Standard variant. Transmits the following signals:
- VGA
- Keyboard/mouse PS/2, PS/2-DEC, USB or SUN-USB (DE/US)
Audio
Standard variant with audio support. Transmits the following signals:
- VGA
- Keyboard/Mouse PS/2, USB or SUN-USB (DE/US)
- Audio (Line In)
UC
Dual variant to connect a computer to two CATCenter clusters. Transmits the following signals:
- VGA
- Keyboard/Mouse PS/2, USB or SUN-USB (DE/US)
Audio-UC
Dual variant with audio support to connect a computer to two CATCenter clusters. Transmits the following signals:
- VGA
- Keyboard/Mouse PS/2, USB or SUN-USB (DE/US)
- Audio (Line Out)
extended
Standard variant with extended connection cable for installing telescopic rails in rack mounted servers (total length of housing and cable = 120 cm). Transmits the following signals:
- VGA
- Keyboard/Mouse PS/2, PS/2-DEC, USB or SUN-USB (DE/US)
extended-UC
Dual variant for connecting a computer to two
CATCenter clusters with an extended connection cable for
installing telescopic rails in rack-mounted servers
(total length of housing and cable = 120 cm).
Transmits the following signals:
- VGA
- Keyboard/Mouse PS/2, USB
DVI-Audio-UC
Variant for connecting computers with DVI single-link video at resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz. Converts DVI to VGA. Designed as dual module with audio support for the connection to two CATCenter clusters. Transmits the following signals:
- DVI Single-Link
- Keyboard/mouse USB or SUN-USB (DE/US)
- Audio (Line Out)
Audio is exclusively supported by CATCenter NEO.
VT100
Variant for connecting serial servers or other components (e.g. network devices) without graphical interface via serial interface. Converts VT100 protocol to VGA and PS/2. The CATpro2-VT100 can be configured and operated over graphical user interface.
Features
