## What is the Extension Port?
The **RJ-11 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.

- 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
- 1x 5.5/2.1 mm female to 5.5/2.5 mm male adapter

Note: Previously, we wrote that we included a 5.5/2.1mm to 5.5/2.5mm 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.

If you have specific needs for your workflow or want to create fun projects, the extension port provides the flexibility to build and experiment.
We encourage the community to build custom add-ons for JetKVM.
If you create a hardware extension that works with the RJ-11 extension port, you'll be able to **submit a pull request** to the JetKVM project once the source code becomes available in early December when the first devices ship. We enthusiastically welcome contributions from the community and look forward to collaborating on new features that benefit all JetKVM users.

## Build your own extensions
The extension port is designed to unlock endless opportunities for hardware modifications. Using a standard RJ-11 connector, it provides power, I2C, and GPIO pins that make it easy to develop your own custom extensions.
