servers—even servers of different platforms.

Paragon II Overview
The Paragon II is designed to perform heavy‐duty
multiple‐user‐to‐many‐server keyboard/video/mouse (KVM) matrix
switching without burdening you with big, confusing hydra‐headed
cables. Instead, the Paragon II uses standard Category 5 (Cat 5)
unshielded twisted‐pair (UTP) cabling, like the type that is already
installed at many sites. It can connect users with servers across as much
as 1000 feet (304 m) of such cabling.
