The PCFiberlynx extension system allows you to locate a keyboard, monitor, mouse, audio and serial peripherals remotely from a PC up to 1,000 meters away without loss of resolution. Multi-mode FDDI grade fiber optic cable is used to transmit all signals between the transmitter unit, located with the CPU, and the receiver unit, located with the user. The PCFiberlynx is commonly used in areas where space is at a premium, where data security requires strict control of physical access, or where environmental issues dictate that the CPU is located in a controlled environment separate from the user.

Each PCFiberlynx extension system consists of a transmitter and a receiver unit. Included are keyboard, mouse, serial, audio and video cables to attach the CPU to the transmitter. A rack-mount kit is also included for mounting in a standard EIA 19-inch rack. Fiber optic cable is available for order in several standard lengths and requests for custom lengths can be quickly accommodated.

Both PCFiberlynx units feature a video distribution amplifier. The transmitter allows a local monitor to display the video output from the CPU for machine room supervision, while the receiver can output to two monitors (or other video displays). This allows the receiver to support a second monitor or projector as well as the standard user desktop peripherals.

The PCFiberlynx is designed to work with PC-compatible computers using a PS/2 (6-pin mini-DIN) keyboard and mouse, RS-232 serial communications (or serial mice) using DB9 connectors, stereo audio with 3.5 mm jacks, and SVGA video with HD15 connectors. Plug-and-Play video monitors are supported with the PCFiberlynx. Call Lightwave to discuss your system requirements with an application engineer.
