Black Box KV04U-REM KVM Remote Unit
Overview
The Black Box KV04U-REM is a remote unit designed to extend VGA video and USB peripheral connectivity from a KVM switch console. This unit is critical for deployments where the KVM console needs to be physically separated from the target computers, such as in secure data centers, industrial control rooms, or broadcast studios. It enables a user to operate a remote computer or server as if they were directly connected, maintaining essential input and output functionality.
Compatibility
This remote unit is specifically designed for use with compatible Black Box KVM switch consoles. It supports VGA video signals and USB 1.1 peripherals (keyboard and mouse). Ensure your specific Black Box KVM switch model lists support for the KV04U-REM for guaranteed interoperability. It is not compatible with DVI, HDMI, or DisplayPort KVM systems.
Installation Notes
The KV04U-REM requires a VGA cable and a USB connection to the host computer. The maximum supported VGA resolution depends on the KVM switch and the cable length used; standard resolutions up to 1920x1200 are typically supported. The USB connection provides power to the unit, eliminating the need for a separate power adapter. Ensure the USB ports on the host computer can supply sufficient power for the peripheral devices connected to the remote unit.
