It started with KVM over CAT5
Minicom Advanced Systems is a leading manufacturer of KVM over CAT5 and KVM/IP switches and systems for the server management market. Known for its innovative technology, Minicom introduced the KVM.net™ concept of centralized management of IP access to servers and network devices. Minicom pioneered the use of CAT5 cable for KVM - now the industry standard. Minicom was the first company to replace the traditional On Screen Display (OSD) with a multi-functional, hardware embedded GUI. Minicom also manufactures a full range of CAT5 based extension solutions and Audio, Video, and Serial distribution systems for the digital signage market.
CAT5 technology
Minicom was the first company in the world to introduce CAT5 technology to the KVM field. The introduction of CAT5 cable was, at the time, a significant technological breakthrough. By replacing the heavy duty COAX cable with the thin, flexible, terminable CAT5 cord, Minicom was able to improve the transmission quality, increase the transmission distance and reduce the price by 75%.

Distributed architecture over CAT5
Minicom's distributed architecture separates a switch into 'remote' and 'manager' units, allowing greater distance between the units, providing more flexibility in setting up your data center.

Distributed switching technology over CAT5
Distributed switching technology as introduced in the Phantom System frees up valuable rack space for high density server environments. Only the first server attaches to the switch. Every additional server attaches only to the server next to it in a daisy chain formation, eliminating cable clutter in the rack.
