faction is very important to us.

Gefen’s line of KVM (Keyboard Video & Mouse), DVI, ADC, USB, switches, extenders,

converters and hubs is designed to make computer use more comfortable, more pro-

ductive and less expensive. KVM switches allow access to multiple computers from a

single keyboard, while the extenders give the user control over a computer up to 330

feet away from the work area. The ex•tend•it line offers solutions for noise, space and

security concerns, data center control, information distribution, conference room presen-

tation, and school and corporate training environments.

Our Commitment

that price is a lifetime of free support from a team of outstanding engineers.

equipped computers (PC or Mac) - using only one keyboard, display and mouse. The

VGA cross platform switcher saves space - there’s no need to work on a desk crowded

with double displays, keyboards and mouse devices. It saves time - there’s no need to

move from one monitor to another to access different computers.And, it saves money

- there’s no need to purchase additional displays, mouse devices, keyboards etc.
