ATEN KX9970FT KVM Over IP Transmitter
Overview
The ATEN KX9970FT is a 5K DisplayPort KVM over IP transmitter designed for extending a workstation's control signals over a 10Gb network using fiber optic connections. This device is crucial for scenarios requiring high-resolution video and low-latency keyboard/mouse control from a remote location, such as control rooms, broadcast studios, or secure data centers where the physical workstation must be isolated. The KX9970FT model enables seamless integration into existing high-speed network infrastructures.
Compatibility
This transmitter is engineered to pair with a compatible ATEN receiver unit (sold separately) to form a complete KVM over IP extension system. It supports USB keyboard and mouse inputs, along with PS/2 keyboard input. Video resolutions up to 5120 x 2880 @ 30Hz are supported, making it compatible with high-end workstations and multi-monitor setups requiring significant pixel real estate. Firmware version v2.0.195 is the current release for this unit.
Installation Notes
The ATEN KX9970FT supports both recessed and rack mount installations. It operates within a humidity range of 0–95% RH, non-condensing. The unit features a semi-recessed pushbutton for reset functions and a green remote indicator LED. Ensure proper ventilation in the installation environment to maintain optimal operating temperatures, although specific temperature ranges are not detailed in the provided specifications.
