USB extension capabilities allow for keyboard, mouse, and select peripheral connectivity, transforming the setup into a comprehensive workstation solution. Power Over HDBaseT™ (PoH) technology simplifies installation by powering the transmitter unit via the same CAT-5e cable from the receiver, reducing cabling complexity and eliminating the need for additional power supplies at the transmitter end. The receiver unit requires only an external power supply, and PoH ensures compatibility with other PoH-class devices, streamlining integration.
