Open-Source IP KVM Switch JetKVM Extension Port DC Power Control

Extension Port: 【RJ-12 extension port】 The JetKVM features an RJ-12 extension port on the back, designed to provide full customizability and flexibility to your device. Whether you're looking to integrate additional hardware capabilities or contribute custom add-ons, the extension port opens up unlimited possibilities for expansion. 【Back of JetKVM device】 What is the Extension Port? The RJ-12 extension port functions as a serial port, allowing communication with the JetKVM. This port is key to adding extra hardware and functionality to the device, making it a highly versatile component. These add-ons are available for purchase, but the port isn't limited to just JetKVM's accessories—it's open for anyone to develop their own custom extensions. 【DC Power Control 】 The DC Power Control extension enables power management for connected DC-powered devices, such as mini PCs or NAS units, using a standard 5.5×2.5 mm connector. It supports DC input ranging from 12 to 20 volts, and we're including adapters to support 5.5×2.1 mm connections as well. 【Serial Console】 Extend your JetKVM capabilities with serial console access. This extension provides RS-232 connectivity, allowing you to access serial consoles directly from your browser through the JetKVM interface. Connect to devices with either RS-232 serial ports commonly found on network equipment, servers, and embedded systems. The extension integrates seamlessly with your JetKVM setup, providing reliable serial communication for configuration, troubleshooting, and remote management tasks. 【Included in the extension package】: Extension board (pictured) + Case (In Design) RJ12 cable to connect the extension board to the JetKVM 1x 5.5/2.5 mm male to 5.5/2.5 mm male cable Note: Previously, we wrote that we included a two more adapter in the extension package. This was incorrect. We are including a only 5.5/2.5 mm male to 5.5/2.5 mm cable in the extension package. 【Customizing with the Extension Port】: By using the extension port, developers and hardware enthusiasts can add a variety of features, for example: Temperature Sensors: Monitor temperature for environmental controls. Mechanical Button Pressers: Automate physical interactions with connected devices. If you have specific needs for your workflow or want to create fun projects, the extension port provides the flexibility to build and experiment. 【Build your own extensions】: The extension port is designed to unlock endless opportunities for hardware modifications. Using a standard RJ-12 connector, it provides power, I2C, and GPIO pins that make it easy to develop your own custom extensions.
