Description

The KVXLCHDPF-200 KVM Extender redefines how you manage servers, workstations, and critical IT equipment by delivering high‑definition, dual‑head video and full keyboard/mouse control over long distances. Designed for data centers, enterprise IT rooms, and broadcast environments, this extender supports HDMI and DisplayPort in a dual‑head configuration and transfers signals over fiber with options for single‑mode or multimode cables. With a reach that can extend up to 30 kilometers depending on the SFP module, fiber type, and bandwidth, the KVXLCHDPF-200 opens up new possibilities for centralized management, remote administration, and safer equipment placement—while preserving crystal‑clear 4K video quality for problem‑solving, diagnostics, and multitasking across several meters or miles of fiber.

  • Remote control at long distances: This dual‑head KVM extender lets you manage a server or computer from a distant location by transmitting keyboard, video, and mouse data over a single fiber link. The system is built to handle the latency and bandwidth demands of modern IT environments, enabling you to operate servers, racks, and workstation farms without the need to physically access each machine. Whether your data center layout requires rack‑to‑workstation separation or centralized control from a security‑conscious operations center, the KVXLCHDPF-200 delivers reliable, responsive performance over substantial distances.
  • 4K video support for clarity and detail: The KVXLCHDPF-200 supports 4K video, ensuring ultra‑high‑resolution visuals at the remote end. This makes it ideal for tasks that demand precise imaging, such as system monitoring, video editing, engineering simulations, and diagnostic workflows. Clear 4K video helps operators spot subtle UI cues, graph trends, and status indicators quickly, reducing downtime and speeding incident response. The dual‑head configuration ensures you can display separate content on two monitors or present combined views as needed for your workflow.
  • Flexible fiber options with SFP modules: Distance and performance are governed by the SFP module, fiber type, and available bandwidth. The KVXLCHDPF-200 supports single‑mode or multimode fiber, allowing you to select the fiber infrastructure that best fits your facility’s layout and backbone. By leveraging the appropriate SFP module, you can tailor the extension to meet your exact requirements—balancing reach, cost, and bandwidth to optimize IT operations. This flexibility makes it suitable for both new deployments and upgrades to existing fiber networks.
  • HDMI and DisplayPort dual‑head video support: The dual‑head design supports both HDMI and DisplayPort connections, enabling you to route video to two independent displays or to share different content across two screens from the remote host. This is especially valuable in control rooms, server rooms, and labs where multitasking and side‑by‑side comparisons are routine. The dual‑head capability enhances productivity by giving operators a broader, more versatile visual workspace without compromising performance or image fidelity.
  • Plug‑and‑play with included PC cables: PC connection cables are included with this product, simplifying installation and reducing setup time. The device emphasizes a straightforward, hardware‑driven deployment—no complex software installation or drivers required in most cases. For IT teams, this means faster rack rollouts, easier maintenance windows, and a reduced total cost of ownership as you scale to additional extenders or expand your fiber backbone.

  • Inclusion: PC connection cables included, streamlining installation and enabling immediate use out of the box.

How to install KVXLCHDPF-200 KVM Extender

  • Step 1 — Plan your fiber link: Choose the appropriate SFP modules for your system and determine whether a single‑mode or multimode fiber path best meets your distance and bandwidth requirements. Ensure fiber connectors and patch panels are compatible with the SFPs you intend to use.
  • Step 2 — Connect the transmitter to the source equipment: Attach the keyboard/mouse and video source to the transmitter unit using standard PC cables. Verify that the host PC or server is powered and functioning before linking to the extender to avoid any post‑installation troubleshooting.
  • Step 3 — Establish the fiber link: Connect the transmitter and receiver via the selected fiber optic cable with the SFP modules inserted. Ensure the fiber is properly terminated and that the link is clean and free of kinks or sharp bends to maintain signal integrity over long distances.
  • Step 4 — Link the receiver to the remote workstation: Attach the monitor(s) to the receiver’s HDMI and DisplayPort outputs as needed, and connect the remote keyboard and mouse to the appropriate ports on the receiver. Confirm that the displays are powered and configured for the correct input sources.
  • Step 5 — power and test: Apply power to both transmitter and receiver units. Check link indicators, verify 4K video rendering on both displays, and test keyboard/mouse responsiveness from the remote location. If any latency or image quality issues occur, recheck SFP compatibility, fiber quality, and cable routing to minimize interference and ensure stable performance.
