Description

Black Box KV04AU-REM KVM Remote Unit

Overview

The Black Box KV04AU-REM is a hardware module designed to extend KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) functionality over a network or dedicated cabling. This unit specifically handles VGA video, USB peripheral connections, and audio signals, enabling remote operation of a computer system. Its black finish and compact form factor allow for discreet integration into various rack-mount or desktop setups. The KV04AU-REM is essential for scenarios where the host computer must be located in a secure, climate-controlled environment, while the user console is positioned elsewhere, such as in a control room or an operator workstation. This model offers USB connectivity for peripherals, ensuring compatibility with modern input devices.

Compatibility

This remote unit is designed to interface with compatible KVM extenders and matrices within the Black Box product ecosystem. It is engineered to work with systems that support VGA video signals and USB 2.0 for keyboard and mouse, as well as other USB devices. Specific compatibility details should be verified against the corresponding transmitter unit or KVM matrix switch documentation to ensure proper signal and data transmission.

Installation Notes

Installation requires connecting the VGA output from the host computer to the unit's VGA input, and connecting USB devices (keyboard, mouse, etc.) to the unit's USB ports. Audio input and output connections are also provided. The unit requires a compatible KVM transmitter and appropriate cabling (e.g., CATx for network-based KVM, or proprietary cables for direct extension) to establish a functional link. Power is typically supplied via the connected KVM system or an external adapter, depending on the specific KVM extender architecture.
