Purely digital for pure video
Because the extender delivers full DVI digital video without compression or conversion, you get pure video displays with no loss of quality. The extender uses CAT6a cable to extend keyboard, mouse, and uncompressed single-link DVI-D video up to 196 feet (59.7 m) at full 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz or 3840 x 2400 at 17 Hz resolution! It's ideal where you want to reduce environmental concerns, such as heat and noise, and ensure optimal temperature control.

Go the distance
You'll get different distances depending on what cable you use and if you make direct connections or patch panel connections.

Direct cable connections:
CAT6a: 196 feet (59.7 m)
CAT6: 180 feet (54.8 m)
CAT5e: 147 feet (44.8 m)

Patch Panel Connections
CAT6a: 164 feet (50 m)
CAT6: 147 feet (44.8 m)
CAT5e: 114 feet (34.7 m)

USB keyboard and mouse support
The extender also delivers bi-directional USB data, enabling USB device extension over 196 feet (59.7 m) on the same CAT6a cable. This makes the extender ideal for distributed workstations where you want to reduce environmental concerns such as heat and noise, such as in post-production suites. The extender supports a variety of USB keyboards and mice and other human interface devices (HIDs) such as touchscreens.

Extended profile DDC EDID
The Wizard DVI/USB carries extended profile DDC EDID data from your display device to the display adapter to ensure that your system is configured to deliver optimal video performance. The extended profile DDC EDID is particularly important when extending the video to high-performance display devices. This is essential for professional graphics users such as post-production, broadcast, architecture, graphic design, medical imaging, CAD, or any other applications where display performance is critical.

19" mounting
You can mount up to 16 local or remote units in the Rackmount Chassis for ServSwitch Wizard Extender (ACU5000A).

Interface-powered local unit
The local unit of the Wizard SRX can be interface powered if your attached PC outputs do not exceed 500 mA. Otherwise, use the spare 5-VDC Power Supply (PS649-R3).

Extend lossless HD video

KVM Extender DL DVI USB transmits lossless DVI video up to 160 feet, enabling workstations to be put in quiet, climate controlled areas while CPUs are housed separately and securely. Lossless video ensure a high image quality, without delay or visible artifacts.

Use CATx cable

These extenders use a single CATx cable for dual-link DVI, USB 2.0, and analog audio, so they integrate directly and easily into your infrastructure. The extender set is plug-and-play, with no need for configuration or software downloads.

USB 2.0

USB support is for low-speed and full-speed USB devices, from keyboards, mouse, and touchscreen monitors, to graphics tablets and mass storage devices.

EDID management

The extender system features intelligent EDID management so that the true data characteristics of the monitor are shared with the computer.

Black Box LRX Series KVM Extender - DVI-D, USB 2.0, RS232, Audio, Single-Access, CATx - 492.13 ft Range - 1920 x 1200 Maximum Video Resolution - 4 x Network (RJ-45) - 6 x USB - 2 x DVI - Desktop - TAA Compliant Learn More

The Black Box DisplayPort Extender is a high-performance KVM extender that enables you to locate your critical computing hardware in a secure and temperature-controlled environment away from the user workstation while maintaining the same user desktop experience.

It can transmit either two 1920 x 1200 video streams or one higher resolution video stream (2560x1600 WQXGA), digital audio (S/PDIF), analog audio, Hi-Speed USB 2.0, and USB 2.0 (full and low speed) over CATx cables.

Perfect digital video, real-time control
The system is uncompressed, sending every pixel of every frame without loss. The receiver supports DisplayPort Dual Mode (DP++), meaning monitors that only support HDMI or DVI can be used (with the correct adapter cable).

Single CATx cable
Video, USB, and audio all pass along a single cable. A second CATx cable is required for the Hi-Speed USB 2.0 extension and increased video bandwidth.

Up to 492 feet (150 m) extension distances
Distance is dependent on the monitor resolution, the number of monitors, cable type, and the number of patch panels and couplers.

USB 2.0
Enables connection of any USB human interface device from mice and keyboards through to graphics tablets, jog wheels, joysticks, and 3D explorers. Mass storage devices and isochronous devices such as webcams and headsets can be used through the transparent USB 2.0 Hi-Speed port.

EDID management
The system has intelligent EDID management to allow the true characteristics of the monitor to be passed back to the computer.

Plug and play
This extender solution is plug-and-play. There is no need for drivers or software to be installed.

Digital audio
Supports the S/PDIF interface via an optical 3.5mm jack socket (dual use with analog audio via mini Toslink).

HD-quality analog audio
HD-audio quality (stereo channel 24 bit sampled at 96kHz) is available to transfer audio from local to remote for Line In / Line. Headsets with integrated microphones are also supported.
