3.2.4 Keyboard extension

The keyboard extension allows a distant positioning of keyboard and mouse. It exists for USB connection or for
PS/2 connection.
USB connection
The keyboard extension is made up of two extension boxes (remote extension box REX [3], local extension
box LEX [5]) and two connection cables (RJ-45 connection cable 20m [4], USB cable [6]). Keyboard and mouse
are plugged into the remote extension box instead of being plugged directly into the P
extension box is connected to the local extension box with the connection cable 20m.
The local extension box is connected to an USB port of the P
on the one end a USB-A plug and on the other a USB-B plug.
