Black Box ACXSFPS KVM Matrix Switch SFP Transceiver - Singlemode, LC, Duplex, Bi-directional, 1G

Overview

The Black Box ACXSFPS is a 1 Gigabit SFP transceiver designed for extending KVM matrix switch signals over single-mode fiber optic cable. It utilizes LC duplex connectors and operates bi-directionally, enabling long-distance transmission of video, USB, and other data streams critical for remote workstation access or distributed control rooms. This unit is essential for deployments requiring signal integrity beyond the reach of copper cabling, specifically in environments where high-bandwidth, low-latency KVM extension is paramount.

Compatibility

This SFP transceiver is engineered for use with Black Box KVM matrix switches and extenders that feature SFP ports supporting 1Gbps fiber optic transceivers. It is specifically designed for single-mode fiber (SMF) applications, requiring a corresponding SFP transceiver at the other end of the fiber link. Ensure your KVM system explicitly supports 1Gbps SFP modules for video and data transmission.

Installation Notes

Install the ACXSFPS module into an available SFP slot on a compatible Black Box KVM matrix switch or extender. Connect a single-mode LC duplex fiber optic cable between this module and the remote SFP module. Ensure the fiber cable is clean and free of damage to maintain signal quality. The maximum transmission distance is rated up to 10 km (6.2 miles) over single-mode fiber, dependent on cable quality and environmental factors.
