System Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Rose Electronics

Orion XTender, a high-performance, long distance, multi-
function digital KVM Extender. The product increases the distance between a source (computer, CPU) and its
console (display, keyboard, mouse, and other peripheral devices). It is compatible with CATx (Twisted Pair)
interconnect cables or fiber interconnect cables. The fiber models of the Orion XTender are especially suitable
for environments with high electromagnetic activity, where electromagnetic interference can affect maximum
distance and signal reliability.
The modular structure of the Orion XTender product family accommodates a variety of applications by offering
the flexibility of customization. Each extender card can be installed in one of four unique frame assemblies: 2,
4, 6, or 21 cards per frame. The DVI extenders support high resolution video up to 1920 x 1200 and USB-HID
signals for mice, keyboards or other USB pointing devices. A multi-stage compression algorithm maximizes
data flow and provides a consistently clear image quality for HD video signals. Several options are available for
each module, including analog or digital audio, USB 2.0, VGA inputs and RS232 serial data transports. Cable
distances up to 460 ft (140 m) with CATx or 10 km with fiber cables are supported.
The system consists of two components: a Transmitter and a receiver. The Transmitter connects to a
computer’s DVI-D video output, USB keyboard and mouse ports, USB 2.0 device ports, audio input/output
connectors and a serial port. The receiver can connect directly to DVI-D video displays, USB keyboards and
mice, USB 2.0 devices, powered speakers, a microphone and/or serial device. Depending on the model, the
Transmitter and receiver are connected with industry standard CATx or fiber cables.
