Avocent enhances its AMX Cat5 KVM switch product line by combining audio and serial functionality in addition to standard keyboard, video monitor, and mouse support for each user implementing new AMX5130 User Stations.
Existing AMX User Stations models include the AMX5110 and AMX5120.
The Avocent AMX5110 user station ships with an AMIQ-PS2 interface module to provide connection for one local computer. Additionally, the AMX5130 User Station will also provide a connection for a local PC; however, the AMIQ server interface module is not included.
The main difference between the AMX5120 and the AMX5110 is the built-in automatic skew compensation. The automatic skew feature for the AMX5120 compensates and automatically adjusts video quality to match varying Cat5, Cat5e and Cat6 cable types and lengths.
Audio and serial add-ons for the AMX Cat5 KVM solution operates by transmitting stereo sound from a target computer connected to the AMX matrix switch. Then, from any AMX matrix computer port, a Cat5 cable terminates its connection at the audio supported AMX5130 User Station.
In contrast, AMX users located at the AMX5130 user station sends mono microphone communications through the audio supported User Station and into the target host connected via any computer port on the Cat5 AMX matrix KVM switch. Mono microphone communications are sent from the AMX5130 User Station, though the AMX matrix switch, and finally to the remote computer via a Server Interface Module.
A replacement for discontinued all Avocent-Cybex XP Cat5 KVM solutions
Introducing a modern Audio Cat5 KVM solution not only fills a gap left by recent end-of-life announcements, Avocent's new Cat5 plus audio KVM solution benefits users with discontinued Cat5 KVM products with audio functionality. Incorporating Avocent AMX5130 User Stations with any AMX matrix switch version seals a large enterprise-level Cat5 KVM gap resulting from discontinuations of the only Cat5 KVM solution with audio support - the Avocent-Cybex XP. End-of-life announcements for several 1st generation enterprise-level Avocent KVM switches will often leave customers without a solution when technical problems arise or if expansion is necessary. 42U Sales Engineers are here to assist Cybex XP customers find KVM product replacements and upgrades for discontinued Cat5 based XP KVM switches with audio support.
