ATEN CE610A DVI HDBaseT KVM Extender with ExtremeUSB-TAA Compliant

The ATEN CE610A is a high-performance DVI and USB extender engineered to deliver reliable, ultra-clean KVM control over long distances. Built on HDBaseT technology and enhanced by ExtremeUSB capabilities, this TAAl-compliant extender lets you extend DVI video and USB 2.0 signals up to 100 meters (300 feet) using a single Cat5e/6 cable. It’s designed for control rooms, broadcast environments, classrooms, laboratories, and industrial spaces where space, cabling simplicity, and secure procurement matter. With CE610A, you gain the freedom to position your display and peripherals wherever you need them while maintaining precise keyboard/mouse control, fast USB access, and crisp, high-definition video. Flexible, scalable, and straightforward to deploy, it’s an ideal solution for upgrading existing KVM workflows or building new, future-proof control systems.

• Long-distance, high-quality video — The CE610A extends DVI-D video up to 100 meters (300 feet) from the source over a single Cat5e/6 cable using robust HDBaseT transport. Expect clear, color-accurate images with minimal latency across the extended link, making it suitable for mission-critical monitoring and precise visual tasks.
• ExtremeUSB-enabled remote peripherals — With ExtremeUSB technology, you can use USB peripherals at the remote end as if they were connected locally. This means keyboards, mice, USB drives, and other USB 2.0 devices can be operated remotely, enabling seamless control without relocating your computer or display equipment.
• KVM extension over a single copper run — The CE610A provides a complete KVM solution: DVI video, USB 2.0 data, and control signals delivered over one Cat5e/6 cable. By consolidating video, data, and control into a single cable, it reduces clutter, simplifies installation, and improves reliability in controlled environments.
• HDBaseT reliability with TAAl compliance — Leveraging HDBaseT, signals travel over longer distances with robust noise rejection and simplified cabling. The CE610A is ExtremeUSB-TAA compliant, aligning with procurement standards for U.S. federal, state, and enterprise projects that require Traceability and Accessibility compliance.
• Easy deployment and versatile applications — The two-unit design (transmitter and receiver) supports quick installation, scalable configurations, and easy integration into existing workstations, classrooms, control rooms, or production environments. It works with standard Cat5e/6 infrastructure and supports a range of display and USB devices, offering a cost-effective way to upgrade KVM capabilities without major infrastructure changes.

Technical Details of ATEN CE610A USB DVI KVM Extender

• Two-unit KVM extender solution (local transmitter and remote receiver) designed to deliver a compact, maintainable, and scalable setup for mission-critical environments.
• TAAl compliant (ExtremeUSB-TAA compliant) to meet procurement requirements for government and enterprise deployments.
• Supports standard Cat5e/6 networking cables, reducing cabling costs and allowing flexible installation options for control rooms, classrooms, studios, and industrial spaces.
• Power considerations: typically requires appropriate power supplies for both transmitter and receiver units; configuration is straightforward with plug-and-play capabilities.
• Video resolution support aligns with typical DVI displays (compatible with common high-definition resolutions, including 1080p and 1920x1200 class displays) depending on the source material and cable quality.
• Plug-and-play operation minimizes installation time and simplifies maintenance, enabling rapid upgrades or retrofits without extensive system redesigns.
• Designed for reliability in demanding environments, with robust shielding and digital/USB signal integrity preserved across the full transmission distance.

How to install ATEN CE610A

• Plan your layout: position the transmitter near the DVI video source and USB devices, and place the receiver near the display and remote USB peripherals. Ensure your power sources are accessible for both units.
• Connect the DVI source to the transmitter’s DVI input using a standard DVI cable. Attach any USB devices you want to extend to the transmitter’s USB ports if needed.
• Run a single Cat5e/6 cable from the transmitter to the receiver. Use a high-quality cable with appropriate shielding if your environment has substantial electrical noise.
• Connect the receiver’s DVI output to the display using a DVI cable. Attach remote USB devices (keyboard, mouse, USB drive, etc.) to the receiver’s USB ports if you plan to use USB at the remote end.
• Apply power to both the transmitter and the receiver using the included or recommended power adapters. Power up the source, display, and USB peripherals to verify signal integrity.
• Power-on sequence: after supplying power, test keyboard and mouse responsiveness at the remote end, verify video quality at the display, and adjust display settings as needed for optimal clarity.
• Troubleshooting tips: if video is not detected, check Cat5e/6 length limitations, re-seat cables, verify that both units are powered, and ensure the remote USB devices are compatible with USB 2.0. Confirm that the source and display support the configured resolutions.

Frequently asked questions

• What does the ATEN CE610A extend? It extends DVI-D video and USB 2.0 data from a source computer to a remote display, along with keyboard and mouse control, over a single Cat5e/6 cable up to 100 meters (300 feet).
• What cables and distance are supported? A single Cat5e/6 cable runs between the transmitter and receiver, capable of delivering video, USB, and control signals up to 100 meters. Use shielded or high-quality Cat5e/6 cables in electrically noisy environments to maintain signal integrity.
• What resolutions does it support? The CE610A supports standard DVI video resolutions that match common displays (including 1080p and 1920x1200-class displays) depending on the source signal and the quality of the cable. Exact supported resolutions may vary with cable quality and display capabilities.
• Is USB 3.0 supported? The CE610A provides USB 2.0 extension for peripherals at the remote end. USB 3.0 devices are not supported by the USB extension in this configuration.
• Is this device compliant with TAAl and other procurement standards? Yes. The CE610A is ExtremeUSB-TAA compliant, meeting Traceability and Accessibility requirements for certain government and enterprise applications.
