Introduction
Overview
The CE820/CE920 HDBaseT 2.0 KVM Extender can extend HDMI (CE820
only), DisplayPort (CE920 only), serial, Ethernet, and USB 2.0 signals up to
100 meters using a single Cat 5e/6/6a or ATEN 2L-2910 cable and HDBaseT
technology. The HDBaseT 2.0 KVM Extender is equipped with USB
connectors which allow you to extend signal transmission of any USB device.
The USB functionality provides support for peripheral sharing, touch panel
control and file transfers. The CE820/CE920 ensures superior video quality
with 4096 x 2160 resolutions so that you get the most out of your HDMI /
DisplayPort-enabled displays.
The CE820/CE920 supports the HDBaseT™ 2.0 technology with which you
can extend the KVM installation up to 150 meters @ 1080p and preserve high-
quality video by enhancing bit error detection and correction to resist signal
interference.
The CE820/CE920 allows access to a computer system from a remote console
(USB keyboard, monitor, and mouse). It is perfect for use in any type of
installation where you need to place the console where it is conveniently
accessible, but you want the system equipment to reside in a safe location –
away from the dust and dirt of the factory floor, or the harsh environmental
influence of a construction site, for example. This allows users to deploy
system equipment over large distances.
The CE820/CE920 is useful for control and security purposes, where you can
have the system in a secure area with the console in the most convenient
location for user access. This is ideal for managing highly confidential data
systems.
The CE820/CE920 is ideal for transportation centers, medical facilities, and
shopping malls, industrial kiosks and for syncing files and folders between
computers. Setup is as easy as can be – simply connect the computer; run the
Cat 5e/6/6a or ATEN 2L-2910 cable up to 100 meters to the remote unit of the
CE820/CE920 and then plug the remote console into the remote unit of CE820/
CE920.

Mounting
Before working on the rack, make sure that the stabilizers are secured to
the rack, extended to the floor, and that the full weight of the rack rests on
the floor. Install front and side stabilizers on a single rack or front
stabilizers for joined multiple racks before working on the rack.
Always load the rack from the bottom up, and load the heaviest item in the
rack first.
Make sure that the rack is level and stable before extending a device from
the rack.
Use caution when pressing the device rail release latches and sliding a
device into or out of a rack; the slide rails can pinch your fingers.
After a device is inserted into the rack, carefully extend the rail into a
locking position, and then slide the device into the rack.
Do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the
rack. The total rack load should not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit
rating.
Make sure that all equipment used on the rack – including power strips and
other electrical connectors – is properly grounded.
Ensure that proper airflow is provided to devices in the rack.
Ensure that the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment
does not exceed the maximum ambient temperature specified for the
equipment by the manufacturer.
