Gefen unveils fiber-based KVM extender

Gefen today unveiled the DVI-3000 HD, a small sender/receiver system that connects a local computer to its remote workstation using multiple SC single-mode fiber optics cables. The device enables high definition (HD) video, USB, and RS-232 control signals to traverse more than six miles from the computer, delivering up to 1280 x 1024 resolutions while maintaining high bandwidth digital content protection (HDCP) compliance. "Data travels an average rate of 1.65Gbps over fiber optics cables, making this one of the safest and reliable methods of long-distance extension as well as the fastest," said Hagai Gefen, president and CEO of the company. Gefen is taking orders for the long-range KVM extender, which is priced at $2,000.
