Description UCON user modules
Use the UCON user modules to connect monitor, keyboard and mouse to the CATCenter NEO system.
CAT cables connect the UCONs to the CATCenters. The UCONs also provide the required ports for peripherals.
The UCON user modules are available in variants for direct (= 1:1 via CAT cable) or digital (= over IP) access.
UCON (direct access)
UCONs provide the following features:
- dedicated 1:1 connection
- large video bandwidth
- high performance (1:1)
- no latencies
If the console to be installed is attached to a certain place and placed within a maximum distance of 300 metres away from the farthest computer, we recommend deploying direct access UCONs.
We provide the following UCON variants (details are given below):
- UCON
- UCON-Audio
- UCON-s
- UCON-Audio-s
Digital UCONs (access over IP)
If you need to access your computers from anywhere, we recommend deploying digital UCONs.
Digital UCONs provide the following features:
- servers can be accessed over network
- within the existing infrastructure (in-band)
- no additional software at console
- no soft- or hardware installations at target server
- no configuration at target server, e.g. mouse settings
- comprehensive password protection
We provide the following digital UCON variants (details are given below):
- UCON-IP-NEO
- Twin-UCON-IP-NEO
