Abstract
A KVM extension configuration that includes a host connected to a transmitter for transmitting communication signals across an extension to a receiver where user interface devices are located. The host has a motherboard that supports USB communications. A USB adapter may be coupled to the transmitter that converts USB signals that the transmitter receives from the host to a non-USB format prior to transmission across the extension to the receiver where the user interface devices successfully communicate with the host. A transmitter core may be coupled to the transmitter that receives the non-USB signals from the USB adapter and transmits such signals to the receiver.
