Frequently Asked Questions
What is a KVM console extender, and how does it differ from a simple patch cable?
A KVM console extender allows you to control a distant computer or server remotely using your local keyboard, video monitor, and mouse. Unlike a patch cable, this kit transmits video, keyboard, and mouse signals over extended distances—up to 330 feet—enabling hands-on control without being physically at the server.
What types of facilities benefit from a 330-foot KVM extender?
Large data centres, secure server rooms, distributed laboratories, and multi-building campuses all benefit. It lets administrators manage systems from a central control station without needing to physically visit each server location.
Can I use a KVM extender to control multiple computers from a single keyboard and mouse?
This extender controls one computer or KVM switch at a time through its local and remote console connections. If you need to manage multiple servers simultaneously, consult Procure.ae about chaining multiple extenders or using a dedicated KVM switch.
What video resolution does this extender support?
This Kit supports display modes up to 1600x1200 at 60Hz, which is suitable for server administration, monitoring dashboards, and routine systems work. For higher resolutions, contact Procure.ae to confirm compatibility with your specific equipment.
Can I extend control beyond 330 feet with additional equipment?
The B013-330 is rated for 330 feet. For longer distances, contact Procure.ae to explore additional extender hardware or alternative remote-management solutions.
Is a KVM extender useful for backup or disaster recovery setups?
Yes, it enables administrators to control backup systems and failover servers from a central location without needing to be on-site. This is especially valuable during outages or emergencies.
What is the typical lead time for a KVM console extender kit in the UAE?
Lead times depend on current stock and your location across the UAE and GCC. Contact Procure.ae to confirm availability and delivery timeline for this specialty item.

Procure.ae can advise on cabling requirements, conduit planning, and optimal routing for your 330-foot run. Once installed, the extender requires only standard configuration at your console and remote ends.
What does the B013-330 KVM console extender kit include?
The kit includes local and remote console connection interfaces, allowing you to extend keyboard, video, and mouse control up to 330 feet. For complete specifications on cabling and adapters included, contact Procure.ae.
Is this extender compatible with modern servers and KVM switches?
