The AMIQ smart cable provides connectivity from the AMX to a VT100-based serial device.With its CAT 5 design the AMIQ significantly reduces cable bulk in the rack and is an ideal solution for high density IT environments. The same AMX product used for providing server access can also be used to access serial devices.The serial AMIQ requires an external power supply. Each power supply can power up to 4 serial AMIQ units. The power supply is sold separately.
