A high speed video switch in a KVM system using discrete Radio Frequency (RF) switch circuits. The RF switch circuits are configured into a multiplexed circuit to route video signals from a selected host computer to a target monitor. Voltage converters are used to provide control signals of the proper voltage to the RF switch circuits. Peaking operational amplifiers are used to compensate for the roll-off effect caused by the video connectors. An On Screen Display (OSD) switch using the RF switches is used to rapidly switch between the OSD data and host computer video for display to the target operator control center monitor.

Video switching device configured to provide at least part of a first video component from a first video source and second video component to a target video destination

KVM video and OSD switch

A distance extender () for increasing a distance between a first device () and a second device () in electrical communication with the first device includes an electrical cable () electrically coupled between the first device and the second device, a first subsystem () electrically coupled to the first end of the electrical cable, and a second subsystem () electrically coupled to the second end of the electrical cable. The electrical cable includes a first end (), a second end (), and a plurality of wires extending between the first end and the second end. The plurality of wires includes a first wire, the first device generates a data signal and provides an electrical power signal, and the data signal and the electrical power signal are simultaneously transmitted between the first device and the second device over the first wire.
