Black Box ACX160-R2 KVM Matrix Switch Chassis With Controller

Overview

The Black Box ACX160-R2 is a network switch chassis designed to integrate into KVM matrix switching systems. It provides the core infrastructure for routing video and peripheral signals between multiple workstations and target devices. This chassis is intended for environments requiring centralized control and flexible signal management, such as broadcast studios, command centers, or high-performance computing labs where reliable, low-latency KVM extension is critical. The ACX160-R2 model includes an integrated controller, simplifying system setup and management.

Compatibility

This chassis is designed to work with compatible Black Box KVM extenders and modules. It serves as the central hub for systems that require switching between various computers and user consoles. Specific compatibility details should be verified against the Black Box KVM system architecture documentation to ensure seamless integration with your chosen extenders and user interface devices.

Installation Notes

Installation requires rack mounting within a standard 19-inch equipment rack. Power and network connectivity are essential for operation. Ensure adequate ventilation around the chassis to prevent overheating, as KVM matrix systems can generate significant heat under load. Proper network segmentation and security practices are recommended for the management interface.
