FAQ
What is the maximum distance this KVM extender transmitter can support?
The Black Box ACX2MT-DPH-SM transmitter supports KVM extension up to 32800 feet (approximately 9997440 mm) when using LC single mode fiber optic cabling. This ultra-long range makes it suitable for campus-wide deployments, large industrial facilities, or data centers where computers are located significant distances from user workstations.
What video resolutions and refresh rates does this extender support?
This transmitter supports 4K video with a maximum resolution of 4096 x 2160 pixels at 30Hz using DisplayPort 1.1 technology. It also supports 3840 x 2162 resolution at 60Hz. The device maintains video quality over the extended fiber connection without compression artifacts that might affect visual clarity for monitoring or design applications.
What type of fiber optic connectivity does this device use?
The ACX2MT-DPH-SM transmitter utilizes LC single mode fiber optic connectivity. LC connectors provide a compact, reliable interface for the fiber optic cabling, while single mode fiber enables the maximum 32800-foot distance capability with minimal signal loss compared to multimode alternatives or copper-based extension solutions.
How many computers can be connected to this KVM extender transmitter?
This transmitter is designed to support a single computer connection. It extends the keyboard, video, and mouse signals from one source computer to a remote location where users can interact with that system as if they were directly connected. For multiple computer environments, additional transmitter units would be required for each source system.
What types of USB devices are supported by this KVM extender?
The transmitter supports USB HID (Human Interface Device) class devices, including standard keyboards and mice. It features two USB ports for connecting these input devices at the computer side. The extender maintains full functionality of these devices over the extended connection, allowing normal keyboard and mouse operation from the remote location.
