How to Install Black Box EC Series KVM CATx Extender Kit - DVI-D, USB, Audio

  • Power off the host system and the remote display area before beginning installation to ensure a safe setup.

  • Connect the transmitter to the source computer using a DVI‑D video cable and attach USB HID devices (keyboard, mouse, or touchscreen) to the transmitter’s USB ports. Route the CAT5e/6/6A cable from the transmitter to the remote receiver location.

  • Plug the receiver into the display or monitor using a DVI‑D cable and connect USB HID devices required at the remote end. If audio is needed, connect the appropriate stereo audio path from the source or the display, depending on your setup.

  • Power both units if external power supplies are required by your hardware. Ensure the CATx cable is properly seated and securely connected at both ends to minimize interference or signal loss.

  • Power on the host system, then power on the remote display area. Verify video appears clearly at the remote monitor, and confirm that USB HID peripherals respond promptly. If needed, adjust display settings (resolution, refresh rate) on the host to match the remote display capabilities for optimal performance.
