Black Box KVXLCH-100 KVM Extender Kit

Overview

The Black Box KVXLCH-100 is a single-monitor KVM extender kit designed to transmit HDMI 4K30 video, USB 2.0 peripheral data, audio, and serial signals up to 100 meters (328 feet) over a single Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cable. This kit is ideal for extending control of workstations in environments where the physical location of the computer must be separated from the user's console, such as security control rooms, digital signage, or industrial automation. The KVXLCH-100 ensures that critical data and control signals maintain integrity over extended distances, enabling flexible deployment of your IT infrastructure.

Compatibility

This KVM extender kit is designed to work with computers featuring HDMI video output and USB 2.0 ports. It supports a maximum video resolution of 3840x2160 at 30Hz, ensuring clarity for high-definition displays. The integrated USB 2.0 ports allow for the connection of standard peripherals like keyboards, mice, and touchscreens. It also supports analog audio (stereo) and RS-232 serial communication, making it suitable for integrating with audio systems or control devices. Ensure your source device and display are compatible with 4K30 resolution and the specified USB 2.0 standards.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable for signal transmission between the transmitter and receiver units. For optimal performance and to achieve the full 100-meter range at 4K30 resolution, Category 6 cable is recommended. The transmitter unit connects to the host computer via HDMI and USB Type-B connectors, while the receiver unit connects to the display via HDMI and USB Type-A ports for peripherals. Both units require a 5VDC power supply, which is included in the kit. Ensure proper cable termination and avoid running the Cat5e/6 cable parallel to high-voltage power lines to prevent interference.
