Vertiv LV3010P-001 Single VGA USB KVM Extender
Overview
The Vertiv LV3010P-001 is a single-link VGA and USB KVM extender module — specifically the transmitter (local) unit — designed for workstation and operator console deployments where the compute hardware needs to live away from the user's desk. Supporting video up to 1920x1200 at 60Hz, this unit handles the full-resolution output of typical operator workstations without introducing compression artifacts that plague lower-spec extenders. If you're running a control room, dispatch console, or secure operator station where the PC chassis must be physically separated from the operator position, the LV3010P-001 is the transmitter half of that solution.
The Vertiv Longview line has a long track record in broadcast, industrial control, and government operator environments — environments where analog VGA is still the connector standard on legacy or purpose-built hardware. The Vertiv KVM and extension product catalog covers a range of single and dual-link configurations, and the LV3010P-001 slots in as the single-VGA entry point for USB-peripheral-capable deployments.
Key Features
- 1920x1200 @ 60Hz Video Resolution: This covers every common workstation display standard including 1080p (1920x1080) and WUXGA (1920x1200). If your operator monitors top out at 24-inch WUXGA, you won't hit a resolution ceiling here — and you won't see any downsampling artifacts on text-heavy console applications.
- 15-Pin D-Type VGA Interface: The LV3010P-001 uses a standard HD-15 VGA connector on the transmitter side, making it directly compatible with the enormous installed base of VGA-output workstations, industrial PCs, and embedded compute platforms still in active service. No adapter dongles required if your source hardware has a native VGA output.
- USB Type B Port with USB 1.1 and 2.0 Hub Support: The single USB Type B port on the transmitter handles keyboard and mouse passthrough, and supports the full USB 2.0 bandwidth ceiling (480 Mbps). That's fast enough for standard HID devices and basic USB peripherals at the operator position — without requiring a separate USB hub or secondary extender channel.
- 5V DC Input Power: The unit draws from a 5V supply, which means it can be powered from standard USB power adapters or compact regulated supplies already common in rack-mounted operator console installations. Low-voltage, low-current draw also means less heat at the transmitter end — relevant if your source hardware enclosure has limited airflow.
- Compact Physical Profile (6.4 x 3 x 1 in, 0.95 lbs): At under a pound and roughly the footprint of a paperback, the LV3010P-001 sits unobtrusively at the workstation or mounts inside a console enclosure. The slim 1-inch depth keeps it out of the way in tight cable management trays.
- CE, FCC, and UL Agency Approvals: All three regulatory marks are confirmed for this unit — CE covers European market compliance, FCC Part 15 covers US emissions, and UL listing addresses safety for North American commercial installations. These are the baseline certifications expected by facilities managers and IT procurement teams.
- Operating Temperature 32°F to 104°F (0°C to 40°C): Rated for standard commercial indoor operating environments. This range covers typical control room and office deployments without requiring active cooling at the extender itself.
Integration and Compatibility
The LV3010P-001 is the transmitter module of the Vertiv Longview LV3010 single VGA USB extender system — it pairs with a corresponding receiver unit (sold separately) to complete the extension path. Before ordering, confirm you have or are ordering the correct receiver to match. The VGA interface makes this extender compatible with a wide range of source hardware: industrial workstations, operator consoles, digital signage players, and legacy compute platforms that output analog VGA. USB 1.1 and 2.0 hub support on the transmitter side means standard HID peripherals (keyboard, mouse) at the operator position are handled without additional infrastructure. This unit does not support DisplayPort, HDMI, or DVI sources — if your hardware has moved to digital video outputs, you would need a different extender family. Verify cable type and maximum extension distance with the Vertiv Longview KVM extender system documentation before deployment, as extension distance is determined by the cable plant between transmitter and receiver, not by this module alone. For environments requiring multi-monitor or dual-link capability, review higher-tier Longview configurations in the Vertiv product line.
Power supply compatibility should be confirmed against the 5V input requirement — a regulated 5V DC power supply is included with the unit per the product listing. Installation in rack-mounted operator consoles benefits from the unit's low profile; the 1-inch depth allows routing in standard cable management panels. For broader console infrastructure planning, review KVM switching and extension solutions to ensure the LV3010P-001 fits your full topology.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the LV3010P-001 a complete KVM extender kit, or just the transmitter?
A: The LV3010P-001 is the transmitter (local) unit of the Vertiv Longview LV3010 single VGA USB extender system. A matching receiver unit is required to complete the extension link and is sold separately. Confirm you have the correct receiver before deploying.
Q: What is the maximum video resolution supported by the LV3010P-001?
A: The LV3010P-001 supports video resolutions up to 1920x1200 at 60Hz, which covers both WUXGA and standard 1080p (1920x1080) displays without downsampling.
Q: Does the LV3010P-001 support USB 3.0 peripherals?
A: No. The USB hub on the LV3010P-001 supports USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 devices only. USB 3.0 peripherals are not supported on this unit. Standard HID devices (keyboard, mouse) and most USB 2.0 accessories are compatible.
Q: What power supply does the LV3010P-001 require?
A: The LV3010P-001 requires a 5V DC power supply. One power supply is included with the unit.
Q: What certifications does the LV3010P-001 carry?
A: The LV3010P-001 carries CE, FCC, and UL agency approvals — the standard regulatory certifications for commercial deployment in North American and European markets.
Q: Can the LV3010P-001 extend DisplayPort or HDMI signals?
A: No. The LV3010P-001 uses a 15-pin D-type VGA interface and is designed exclusively for analog VGA video sources. DisplayPort or HDMI sources require a different extender platform.
The LV3010P-001 is the unit I reach for when an integrator needs to pull a VGA workstation away from an operator position in a control room or dispatch environment — particularly where the source hardware is fixed-spec and VGA isn't going away anytime soon. The 1920x1200 @ 60Hz ceiling on this transmitter means you're covered for every standard operator display in that class, and the sub-1-pound, 1-inch-deep form factor means it disappears into a console enclosure without a fight.
Technical Highlights:
- 1920x1200 @ 60Hz: Covers the full WUXGA standard — text-heavy console apps and HMI displays render without downsampling at the transmitter end, which matters when operators are reading alarm state labels and data tables all shift long.
- USB 2.0 Hub Support: The Type B USB port handles standard HID passthrough at full USB 2.0 bandwidth. For keyboard and mouse at the remote operator position, this is all you need — no secondary USB extender required.
- 5V DC Input: Low-voltage input keeps the thermal footprint minimal at the source end. In rack-mounted console builds where heat accumulates, a 5V draw at this unit is a non-issue for thermal planning.
Deployment Considerations:
- This is the transmitter module only — you must pair it with the correct Vertiv Longview receiver to complete the extension link. Verify receiver compatibility before building your BOM, as mismatched Longview units will not interoperate.
- USB support is capped at USB 2.0 — if your operator position requires USB 3.0 peripherals (external drives, high-bandwidth scanners), this unit cannot support them. Plan your peripheral list against the USB 1.1/2.0 ceiling before specifying.
For control room retrofits and dispatch console builds where VGA source hardware is fixed and the operator position needs to be physically separated from the compute stack, the LV3010P-001 (often searched as LV3010P 001) is a straightforward, low-overhead transmitter that handles the extension job without overcomplicating the infrastructure.
