Description

Experience true distance flexibility with the Black Box ServSwitch DVI-D USB KVM-over-Fiber Extender, Single-Mode. This high-performance solution extends your DVI-D video and USB keyboard/mouse signals over a single-mode fiber link, delivering clean, pixel-perfect 1080p graphics across long distances. Designed for data centers, control rooms, and distributed workspaces, it preserves full HD clarity while eliminating electromagnetic interference and signal degradation that can occur with copper cabling. Whether you’re consolidating servers, creating remote workstations, or linking multiple KVM environments, this extender ensures seamless, reliable access to a local host from a distant remote station.

  • Long-range DVI-D and USB extension: Extends DVI-D video up to 1000 meters at 1080p and up to 2000 meters at 1080i, ensuring robust performance for remote workstations, KVM setups, and distributed computing environments.
  • Pure digital fiber extension: Delivers a clean, uncompromised digital signal over single-mode fiber, preserving sharp images and accurate color without degradation typically seen in copper-based extenders.
  • HD video support: Supports full HD resolutions up to 1920 x 1080, enabling clear, high-definition monitoring on a remote DVI display while maintaining precise pixel fidelity.
  • KVM-capable architecture: Extends the DVI-D video path from a computer or KVM switch to a remote USB keyboard/mouse workstation with a DVI monitor, enabling centralized control of multiple systems from a distant location.
  • Designed for reliability in mission-critical environments: Built to operate in enterprise environments where long-distance, solid-state digital transmission is essential for uninterrupted access to hosts and KVM resources.

how to install Black Box ServSwitch DVI-D USB KVM-over-Fiber Extender, Single-Mode

Follow these steps to set up the extender and begin managing a remote workstation with a local host efficiently:

  • Power off all devices before connecting the extender components.
  • Connect the local host’s DVI-D output to the Extender Transmitter’s DVI-D input, and attach the local USB keyboard/mouse to the Transmitter or designated USB ports as specified by the installation guide.
  • Link the Transmitter to the Remote Receiver using a single-mode fiber cable appropriate for the desired distance and alignment. Ensure both ends are securely terminated and threaded through any routing or conduit as needed.
  • Connect the Remote Receiver’s DVI-D output to the remote monitor and attach the USB keyboard/mouse to the Receiver’s USB ports designated for peripheral access. Verify that the remote workstation is powered and reachable via the extender link.
  • Power up both the local host system and the remote workstation, then verify display clarity, cursor responsiveness, and keyboard input. Adjust display settings if necessary to ensure optimal 1920 x 1080 output and smooth cursor control across the extended link.
