Product Features
Technical Overview
This KVM extender receiver expansion card operates as a wired device within the DKM FX modular ecosystem. It provides two USB ports specifically configured for USB HID devices, ensuring compatibility with standard keyboards, mice, and similar peripherals. The card requires connection to a main card in the DKM system to function, acting as an expansion module rather than a standalone unit.
The technical design supports transmission over CATx cabling, as well as multimode or single-mode fiber optic cabling, offering flexibility in infrastructure deployment. This allows for extended reach beyond typical USB limitations, making it suitable for data centers, control rooms, and broadcast environments where distance separation is necessary.
Key Product Advantages
This expansion card delivers precise USB HID extension within a proven modular KVM framework, reducing cable clutter and centralizing management. Its integration into the DKM FX system ensures interoperability with existing transmitter and receiver cards, providing a cohesive solution for peripheral extension.

Deployment / Use Cases
The ACX1MR-HID expansion card is ideal for environments where USB HID devices need to be operated remotely from connected computers. Common applications include data center KVM consoles, broadcast control rooms, industrial automation setups, and security operation centers where operators require access to multiple systems from a centralized location.
In practice, this card enables the extension of USB keyboards and mice over long distances without signal degradation, supporting real-time interaction with servers, workstations, or specialized equipment. It is particularly valuable in scenarios where physical space separation between users and equipment is necessary for safety, security, or organizational efficiency.
Data Center Management
Allows technicians to control servers in racks from a central console, reducing the need for direct physical access to each machine.
Broadcast & Production
Enables operators to manage video editing suites, switchers, or audio mixers from a control room distant from noisy equipment areas.
