I've used Black Box ACU1009A KVM Extenders over CAT5 cable up to 1000 feet. You
can actually have both a local and a remote screen, keyboard and mouse or just
a local with an ACU1001A. Black Box also has a version that includes a serial
link too, but I haven't used these. Note that the CAT5 is not part of your
computer network. These are dedicated point to point wires and are not Ethernet
compatible signals.

Subject: [foxboro] Remoteing "G" boxes
We are looking at replacing about 9 "D" boxes with "G" boxes on one of
our
nodes. There are 2 locations were these boxes go that we have had way
too
many failures. In both cases the causes are the environment that the
boxes
live in. Even though we have tried to design some protection for them
it is
proving to not be enough.
Location "A" is about 150 cable feet from the equipment room. Location
"B"
is more like 700 cable feet away.
So, we are considering placing the "G" boxes for one, or both of these
locations in a equipment room, and remoteing the mouse/keyboard, keypad,
and monitor(s) (some of these are dual headed). I was wondering what
other
people might have done here. We already have one node that has USB
extenders to "G" boxes (supplied by Foxboro), but I'm not certain what
the
maximum distance we can use this for is. As far as the GCIO, I'm
thinking
that the GCIO itself could be in the equipment room, isn't the link
between
the keypad and the GCIO already RS-485? And anyone have any ideas on the
video?
