Description

Black Box KVXLCF-100-R2 KVM Extender Kit Over Fiber

Overview

The Black Box KVXLCF-100-R2 is a KVM extender kit designed to transmit DVI-D video, USB 2.0, audio, and serial data over a single-mode fiber optic connection. This kit enables you to place a workstation's CPU in a secure, climate-controlled location up to 10 kilometers away from the user's console, which includes a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and other peripherals. It's particularly useful for environments requiring extended reach beyond standard copper limitations, such as industrial control rooms, broadcast facilities, or secure government installations where physical separation is critical. The inclusion of a local video output on the receiver unit allows for direct monitoring at the source location.

Compatibility

This kit is designed for use with DVI-D single-monitor setups. It supports USB 2.0 peripheral devices, including keyboards, mice, touchscreens, and other HID-compliant devices. The audio and serial ports provide connectivity for associated peripherals. It is intended for point-to-point fiber optic extension and does not integrate with network-based KVM matrices directly; it functions as a dedicated extension link. Ensure your fiber optic infrastructure uses single-mode fiber (SMF) with appropriate LC connectors for optimal performance and range.

Installation Notes

Installation requires terminating the fiber optic cable with LC connectors. The kit consists of a transmitter unit (connected to the source) and a receiver unit (connected to the console). Both units require power, typically supplied via external power adapters (included). The maximum extension distance of 10 kilometers is achievable over single-mode fiber. Verify the quality and type of fiber optic cable used, as degraded or multimode fiber will significantly reduce or eliminate signal transmission over this distance.
