Belkin F1DN-KVM-EXTC6 CAT6 KVM Transmitter Extender

Overview

The Belkin F1DN-KVM-EXTC6 is a transmitter extender designed to transmit KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) signals over a single CAT6 Ethernet cable. This device is crucial for extending the reach of KVM consoles in environments where the host computer must be located remotely from the operator's workstation. It's engineered for deployments requiring reliable, high-resolution video and USB peripheral extension, such as in server rooms, data centers, or industrial control environments where physical access to the host is impractical or undesirable. The F1DN-KVM-EXTC6 works in conjunction with a receiver unit (sold separately) to create a complete KVM extension solution.

Compatibility

This transmitter is part of Belkin's KVM over IP extension system and is designed to work exclusively with the corresponding Belkin CAT6 KVM Receiver unit. It supports standard CAT6 cabling for signal transmission up to 100 meters (328 feet). It is intended for use with computers featuring standard video outputs (e.g., VGA, DVI, HDMI via adapter) and USB keyboard/mouse ports.

Installation Notes

Requires a standard CAT6 Ethernet cable, not included. Ensure the cable run does not exceed 100 meters to maintain signal integrity and video resolution. Connect the transmitter to the host computer's video and USB ports, and then connect the CAT6 cable to the transmitter's RJ45 port. The other end of the CAT6 cable connects to the receiver unit at the remote console.
