FAQ
What type of device is the Black Box ACR500DV-T?
The Black Box ACR500DV-T is a KVM-over-IP transmitter designed to extend keyboard, video, and mouse signals from a single computer over a network. It transmits these signals to compatible receivers, enabling remote management of computing equipment from a centralized location.
What video resolution does this KVM transmitter support?
This transmitter supports a maximum video resolution of 1920 x 1200 through its DVI interface. This resolution provides sufficient clarity for most administrative tasks, including system configuration, troubleshooting, and monitoring activities performed remotely.
How many computers can this transmitter support simultaneously?
The ACR500DV-T transmitter is designed to support a single computer. It connects to one computer system and transmits its KVM signals over the network to receivers, making it suitable for point-to-point remote management scenarios rather than multi-computer switching applications.
What networking interface does this device use for connectivity?
This transmitter features one RJ-45 network port for IP connectivity. It uses standard Ethernet infrastructure to transmit KVM signals over local area networks, allowing integration with existing network equipment without requiring specialized cabling or network configurations.
What is the form factor and rack mounting capability?
The device has a zero-U rack-mountable form factor, meaning it occupies no vertical rack units when installed. This compact design allows installation on rack shelves or between other equipment, making it ideal for space-constrained environments like densely populated server racks and telecommunications cabinets.
What connectivity or interface options are available?
Connectivity support is listed in the product specifications, including the relevant wireless or port options when available.
