Distance extender
First Claim
1. A keyboard, video, and mouse extender for increasing the distance between a computer and at least one peripheral device, the keyboard, video, and mouse extender comprising:
- a cable comprising;
a first pair of wires;
a second pair of wires;
a third pair of wires; and
a fourth pair of wires;
a first subsystem capable of being electrically coupled to the first pair of wires and the computer;
a keyboard, video, and mouse switch capable of being electrically coupled between the first subsystem and the computer; and
a second subsystem capable of being electrically coupled to the first pair of wires and the at least one peripheral device, wherein;
the computer is configured to provide an electrical power signal;
at least one of the computer and the at least one peripheral device is configured to generate a data signal and at least three video signals;
the first subsystem and the second subsystem are configured such that the first pair of wires concurrently transfer the data signal and the electrical power signal between the first subsystem and the second subsystem; and
the first subsystem and the second subsystem are further configured such that the at least three video signals are transferred over the second pair of wires, the third pair of wires, and the fourth pair of wires.

Abstract
A distance extender (100, 200) for increasing a distance between a first device (145) and a second device (150) in electrical communication with the first device includes an electrical cable (130, 230) electrically coupled between the first device and the second device, a first subsystem (110, 210) electrically coupled to the first end of the electrical cable, and a second subsystem (120, 220) electrically coupled to the second end of the electrical cable. The electrical cable includes a first end (131, 231), a second end (132, 232), 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.
