Product Features
Technical Overview
This KVM extender operates over multimode fiber optic cable, providing secure, interference-free signal transmission that copper alternatives cannot match. The transmitter and receiver units each measure 8.70" x 5.30" x 1.70" (220.98 x 134.62 x 43.18 mm) and weigh approximately 2.20 lb (1000 g) each, with identical black enclosures designed for either desktop placement or 19-inch rack mounting using the included brackets.
The system delivers comprehensive connectivity with 6 USB ports and 4 DVI ports distributed across the local and remote units, supporting simultaneous extension of multiple peripheral types. Power is supplied through universal adapters that accept 110-240V AC input, with each unit consuming just 18W during operation. Hot-key and push-button controls provide intuitive operation without requiring software installation.

Key Product Advantages
This extender solves critical distance and interference challenges in professional AV and KVM deployments where maintaining signal integrity across long runs is essential. The fiber optic transmission completely eliminates EMI concerns that plague copper-based solutions, making it ideal for industrial settings, medical imaging environments, and data centers with high electromagnetic noise.
Complete Signal Extension
Extends four signal types simultaneously: DVI-D digital video, USB HID devices, RS232 serial data, and stereo audio through a single fiber connection, reducing cable clutter and installation complexity.
- Single fiber carries all signals
- No separate extenders needed
- Simplified cable management
Included Deployment Components
The kit comes ready for installation with a 30-meter (98-foot) multimode fiber cable, rackmount brackets for both units, universal power adapters, and all necessary interface cables for immediate deployment.
- 30m fiber cable included
- Rack brackets in package
- Universal power adapters
Deployment / Use Cases
This KVM extender is specifically designed for environments where computer equipment must be physically separated from user workstations by substantial distances. In data center applications, it allows administrators to control servers located in distant racks or separate rooms from a centralized console position, maintaining full keyboard, video, mouse, and serial access without signal degradation.
Industrial control rooms benefit from the EMI immunity when extending control stations to machinery floors where electrical noise would disrupt copper connections. Broadcast facilities use these extenders to separate editing workstations from noisy equipment rooms while maintaining pristine video quality for color-critical work. The system also serves security operations centers where multiple video feeds must be extended to monitoring stations without compression artifacts.
Data Center Server Management
Extend KVM control from centralized admin consoles to server racks located throughout the facility, maintaining full BIOS-level access and video clarity for troubleshooting and maintenance tasks.
Industrial Control Systems
Connect control room workstations to PLCs and industrial computers on factory floors where electromagnetic interference would disrupt traditional copper KVM extensions.
What's in the Box
This complete KVM extension kit includes all components needed for immediate deployment in either desktop or rack-mounted configurations.

FAQ
What is the maximum distance this KVM extender can achieve?
The StarTech.com SV565FXDUSA extends signals up to 2 kilometers (6561.68 feet) over multimode fiber optic cable. This substantial distance makes it suitable for data centers, industrial facilities, and campuses where equipment must be located far from user workstations while maintaining full KVM functionality without signal degradation.
What types of signals does this extender support?
This extender simultaneously transmits four signal types: DVI-D digital video (compatible with HDMI through DVI-D to HDMI adapters), USB for keyboard and mouse devices, RS232 serial data for console management, and stereo audio. All signals travel over a single multimode fiber pair, eliminating the need for multiple extension systems.
What video resolution does this KVM extender support?
The extender supports resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 (WUXGA) at 60Hz, which includes full HD 1080p. It maintains digital video transmission without compression, ensuring zero signal loss and 100% true picture quality at the destination. The system is HDCP compliant for protected content transmission.
Is this extender rack-mountable?
Yes, the system is designed for both desktop and rack deployment. The package includes four rackmount brackets that allow both the transmitter and receiver units to be mounted in a standard 19-inch rack. Each unit occupies minimal space, and when mounted, the system takes up 1U of vertical rack space for efficient data center integration.
What fiber cable type is required, and is one included?
The extender requires multimode fiber optic cable with LC connectors. A 30-meter (98-foot) multimode fiber cable with LC connectors is included in the package, providing immediate deployment capability. For longer distances up to the maximum 2km, additional multimode fiber can be purchased separately based on your specific installation requirements.
How does this fiber extender handle electromagnetic interference?
Fiber optic transmission is completely immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI), unlike copper-based KVM extenders. This makes the system ideal for industrial environments, medical facilities, and data centers where electrical noise would disrupt signal integrity. The digital transmission ensures 100% true picture quality without the ground loop issues common with copper solutions.
