FIBREVision-USB 2.0 series
KVM extenders of the FIBREVision-USB 2.0 series transmit signals of keyboard, mouse
and USB devices as well as video signals between console and remote computer.
A FIBREVision system consists of two main components:
 Computer module: The computer to be operated is connected to the computer mod-
ule (FIBREVision-CPU).
In addition to the remote console, an optional local console can be installed at the
computer module.
 User module: The devices of the remote console (monitor, keyboard, mouse, and
USB devices) are connected to the user module (FIBREVision-CON).
Fibre optics are used to connect computer module and user module.
Maximum transmission distances between modules
The maximum cable length depends on the applied fibre optics:
Special functions of expanded variants
 Audio: Audio transmission (only available in combination with RS232 option) enables
the bidirectional transmission of audio signals between remote console and com-
puter.
 RS232: RS232 transmission (only available in combination with Audio option) ena-
bles the connection of external serial devices to the user module. User module and
computer module transmit the signals of external devices in a transparent way
from device to computer.
Available expansions
 FIBRE-Power: The FIBRE-Power expansion allows you to operate the ATX-Power
and Reset buttons of the computer at the remote console.
