Black Box KV04AUS-REM KVM Remote Unit

Overview

The Black Box KV04AUS-REM is a remote KVM unit designed to extend VGA video, USB keyboard/mouse, and audio signals from a compatible KVM switch to a remote workstation. This unit is essential for deployments where the operator console needs to be physically separated from the server rack or equipment closet, such as in secure control rooms, broadcast studios, or industrial automation environments. It ensures clean signal transmission over extended distances, maintaining usability and operational flexibility. The KV04AUS-REM model specifically addresses the need for audio transmission alongside standard KVM and video.

Compatibility

This remote unit is designed to work with specific Black Box KVM switch systems that support VGA, USB, and audio extension. It is typically paired with a corresponding local unit (transmitter) from the same product family. Verify compatibility with your existing Black Box KVM switch model to ensure proper function. It is not a standalone device and requires a compatible transmitter and receiver pair.

Installation Notes

Utilizes standard CAT5e or CAT6 cabling for signal extension up to 100 meters (328 feet). Ensure the cabling is properly terminated and tested for optimal performance. The unit requires a power adapter (sold separately or included with the paired KVM system) for operation. Skew compensation is built-in to correct for timing differences in color signals over longer cable runs, ensuring stable video quality.
