Product Features
Technical Overview
This KVM extender system consists of two compact units: a transmitter that connects to your source computer and a receiver that connects to your local console equipment. Video transmission occurs at 4K resolution (3840x2160) with support for 30 Hz refresh rates, ensuring smooth motion for productivity and media applications. The system preserves high-quality digital audio formats including DTS-HD, Dolby TrueHD, and uncompressed LPCM without introducing latency.
Connectivity is managed through dual HDMI ports, dual RJ-45 network ports, and three USB 2.0 ports distributed between transmitter and receiver units. The IR pass-through feature allows remote control of media sources from the console location. Power input accepts 100-240V AC, making the system compatible with international electrical standards without requiring voltage converters.
Relevant factors for this section include Connectivity Technology, Number of Computers Supported, Number of Local Users Supported, Graphic Mode. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.
Key Product Advantages
This KVM extender delivers significant cost savings and installation flexibility by utilizing existing network cabling infrastructure rather than requiring expensive dedicated HDMI or USB extension cables. The 230-foot operating distance provides exceptional placement flexibility for computers in server rooms, equipment closets, or secure areas while maintaining full console functionality at the user location.
Infrastructure Savings
Leverage your current Cat5e or Cat6 cabling instead of purchasing and installing specialized AV cables, reducing both material costs and installation time.
- Uses standard network cables
- No proprietary cabling required
- Reduces infrastructure investment
High-Fidelity Transmission
Maintains pristine 4K video quality with support for premium audio formats, ensuring no degradation of signal quality over the extended distance.
- 4K at 3840x2160 resolution
- Lossless audio support
- No compression artifacts
Deployment / Use Cases
The B013-HU-4K is ideal for environments where computer equipment needs to be physically separated from user workstations while maintaining full interactive control. In corporate IT departments, this allows servers and workstations to be secured in locked server rooms while administrators work from conveniently located console stations. The extended distance capability makes it perfect for large facilities where equipment centralization improves security and maintenance efficiency.
Digital signage installations benefit from the ability to place media players in protected locations while displaying content on remotely mounted screens. Educational institutions can use this system to secure classroom computers while providing teacher console access. The IR pass-through functionality is particularly valuable for media control rooms where operators need to control source devices from a centralized console position.
Secure Server Access
Place servers in locked enclosures or separate rooms while providing full KVM functionality to administrator workstations up to 230 feet away.
Digital Signage Deployment
Centralize media players in equipment closets while distributing 4K content to multiple displays throughout a facility using existing network infrastructure.
What's in the Box
The package includes everything needed for immediate deployment across various international electrical systems. Each component is carefully selected to ensure compatibility and ease of installation.

FAQ
What type of cable do I need to connect the transmitter and receiver units?
The B013-HU-4K uses standard Category 5e or Category 6 Ethernet cable (RJ-45) to connect the transmitter and receiver units. You can utilize existing network infrastructure cabling, which eliminates the need for expensive dedicated HDMI or USB extension cables. The system supports transmission distances up to 230 feet (approximately 70 meters) when using quality Cat5e or Cat6 cable.
What video resolution and refresh rate does this KVM extender support?
This extender supports 4K Ultra HD video at 3840 x 2160 resolution with a 30 Hz refresh rate. This provides sufficient bandwidth for productivity applications, digital signage content, and media playback while maintaining image quality over extended distances. The system preserves video fidelity without compression artifacts that can degrade image quality in some extension solutions.
How many computers can I connect to this KVM extender system?
The B013-HU-4K is designed as a point-to-point solution that supports one computer connected to the transmitter unit. This single-computer configuration is ideal for extending a specific workstation, server, or media player to a remote console location. The system supports one local user at the receiver end with full keyboard, video, and mouse control capabilities.
Does this system support audio transmission along with video?
Yes, the extender transmits high-quality digital audio alongside video signals. It supports premium audio formats including DTS-HD, Dolby TrueHD, and uncompressed LPCM without introducing latency or quality degradation. This makes it suitable for applications requiring synchronized audio-video playback, such as digital signage, presentation systems, or media control rooms.
What is the IR pass-through feature and how does it work?
The IR pass-through feature allows you to control source devices (such as media players or set-top boxes) remotely from the console location. The system includes dedicated IR-in and IR-out cables that transmit infrared control signals between the transmitter and receiver units. This enables you to place source equipment in another room while maintaining full remote control functionality from your console position.
What power requirements does this KVM extender have for international use?
The system includes two international power supplies that accept input voltages from 100V to 240V AC at 50/60 Hz, making them compatible with electrical standards worldwide. The package also includes eight plug adapters for North America, Europe, U.K., and Australia regions. This comprehensive power solution ensures the extender can be deployed globally without requiring additional voltage converters or plug adapters.
