Black Box KVXLCHF-100
Introduction: The Black Box KVXLCHF-100 Industrial KVM Extender Kit over Fiber is a premium, high-tier hardware routing solution engineered by Black Box network technologies and manufactured across certified international production hubs (UK/Taiwan/China). This heavy-duty system enables the seamless physical separation of critical computing workstations or enterprise servers away from the operator's actual desk space. By centralizing core computing resources inside secure climate-controlled server rooms, it safeguards valuable hardware assets from rough shop-floor environments while maximizing digital cybersecurity parameters.
The functional core of the KVXLCHF-100 variant delivers uncompromised "All-in-One" signal distribution over a single dedicated fiber optic link strand:
-
Elite Display Resolution (HDMI 4K30): Drives crystal-clear visual replication for a single-monitor hardware orientation up to Ultra HD 4K at 30Hz, ensuring absolute pixel accuracy for real-time SCADA tracking, manufacturing diagnostics, and engineering design arrays.
-
Comprehensive Peripheral Integration: Features native real-time pass-through data loops for USB 2.0 hardware setups (keyboards, mouse units, peripheral smart card readers), analog bi-directional audio links, and RS-232 serial communication paths to smoothly interface with legacy industrial automation machinery or CNC controllers.
-
Local Video Loop-Out: The transmitter unit (TX) incorporates a localized HDMI video monitoring node, allowing on-site server room maintenance technicians to connect a secondary diagnostics display without scaling down or degrading the long-distance transmission signal.
-
Modular SFP Architecture: Utilizes an integrated small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver slot framework instead of fixed optical terminal hardware. This provides engineering teams with complete deployment flexibility to leverage Singlemode or Multimode fiber paths depending on specific facility layout distances.
⚠️ TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION PROMPT (SFP TRANSCEIVER SELECTION): The factory system package includes both the core Transmitter (TX) and Receiver (RX) hardware hardware blocks. However, the standard kit code does not bundle the optical SFP transceiver module. To ensure correct systemic operation, please verify localized infrastructure optical cabling configurations before submitting the final Purchase Order (PO):
-
Is the plant site fiber optic backbone classified as Multimode Fiber (MMF) or Singlemode Fiber (SMF)?
-
Document the absolute operational physical distance between the Server Room and Operator Desk to select an SFP module matching the needed optical budget power and interconnection geometry (LC/SC connectors).
