The above diagram shows the versatility of the CrystalView CAT5 rack. 
The CrystalView CAT5 Rack can connect to standalone computers or 
KVM switches using the appropriate cables. KVM stations connected 
to a CrystalView remote unit can be up to 1000 feet (150 feet using a 
CrystalView MINI remote unit) from the CrystalView CAT5 rack. A 
remote CrystalView unit is needed for each module used in the 
CrystalView CAT5 rack. 
 
Any of the CrystalView CAT5 rack models can use the same type of 
connections shown above. The serial/audio model can take advantage 
of routing the remote CPUs serial and audio data to the local KVM 
station.
