Vertiv Avocent HMX8000T - IP KVM Transmitter | 4K video 10 GbE | 4 USB2.0

The Vertiv Avocent HMX8000T is a high-performance IP KVM transmitter designed to deliver pixel-perfect 4K video, audio, and USB 2.0 signals over a fiber-enabled IP network. Built for enterprise data centers, control rooms, broadcast environments, and editing suites, this transmitter forms a cornerstone of a scalable IP-based KVM solution. It enables remote access and control of critical servers and workstations with the same precision and ease as a local console, while leveraging the reliability and security of fiber and 10 GbE networks. With the HMX8000T, administrators can consolidate management across facilities, reduce equipment footprints, and accelerate workflows by placing the control point wherever it’s most efficient—without compromising image quality or peripheral responsiveness.

The HMX8000T supports 4K video over a single fiber connection, delivering sharp detail, accurate color reproduction, and consistent image performance essential for technical tasks, design review, and monitoring. The device also carries audio pass-through, so operators experience synchronized sound with the visual feed, which is valuable for multimedia workflows, system alerts, and collaboration across teams. When paired with the appropriate receiver and fiber infrastructure, the transmitter can extend to dual-head 4K configurations via an additional fiber link, enabling multi-monitor setups that enhance situational awareness and control. This versatility makes the HMX8000T suitable for applications ranging from server room management and virtualization to broadcast monitoring and post-production review, where high-resolution video fidelity and reliable remote access matter most.

Security and manageability are central to Vertiv’s Avocent approach. The HMX8000T is engineered to integrate smoothly into existing KVM ecosystems, providing robust remote access control, centralized management, and consistent performance across long distances. The combination of IP-based transport, 10 GbE bandwidth, and fiber connectivity helps ensure low latency and stable signal integrity, even when multiple users or peripheral devices are connected simultaneously. For IT teams and operators, this translates to streamlined maintenance windows, faster incident response, and reduced need for on-site visits to data centers or production facilities. The 4 USB2.0 support slotting into the transmitter further enhances productivity by allowing keyboards, mice, USB storage devices, and other compatible peripherals to travel alongside the video and audio streams, preserving a familiar control experience for operators who manage complex server farms and workstation clusters.

In practice, the Vertiv Avocent HMX8000T empowers distributed teams to act as a cohesive unit. Remote technicians can view, configure, and troubleshoot equipment as though they were seated at the host systems, while security policies keep access tightly controlled and auditable. The device is designed to be reliable under continuous operation, with hardware that resists environmental challenges and firmware that supports scalable expansion as your KVM topology grows. For organizations seeking to modernize infrastructure without sacrificing performance, the HMX8000T stands out as a forward-looking choice that pairs the familiarity of local KVM control with the flexibility of remote management over a resilient fiber network.

  • 4K video over a single fiber connection: Delivers high-resolution imagery with crisp detail and accurate color across long distances, making it ideal for graphic-intensive tasks and precise monitoring.
  • 10 GbE performance with low latency: Ensures smooth remote control and responsive peripheral interaction, preserving the feel of local access during real-time operations.
  • USB 2.0 support: Provides seamless integration of peripherals (keyboard, mouse, and compatible USB devices) over the KVM link, with room for multiple devices through the 4 USB2.0 ports.
  • Dual-head 4K capability with additional fiber: Extends display options, enabling independent or mirrored 4K outputs for multi-monitor configurations and enhanced operator visibility.
  • Audio pass-through and IP-based KVM: Combines synchronized audio with video and remote access capabilities, delivering a cohesive, enterprise-grade remote management experience.
