Quick Facts

• A Scalable, Highly Reliable HD video and peripheral matrix switching and DVI routing system.
• Very flexible. Any port can be an input or an output.
• Holds 36 modular cards for up to 288 I/O ports.
• Supports high-quality, full-frame DVI-D video.

• Terabit-speed switching backplane.
• Nearly instantaneous video switching. Virtually no delay or blanking.
• Full HD compatible. Boasts digital resolutions up to 2560 x 1600.
• Various interface cards available (USB HID/2.0, RS-232, and others).
• Can be used with remote DKM and DKM FX Extenders for extra-long links.
• Modular, no fixed ports. Moves, adds, and changes are quick and easy.
• Choose from CATx and single-mode fiber SFP modular card interfaces. Single-mode fiber interfaces will also work over multimode fiber.
• Enables mixing of media on inputs/outputs-CATx in and fiber out, or vice versa.
• Supports rich, digital audio for a full multimedia experience.
• Includes a control card. Manage via KVM, network, or serial console.
• Rackmountable 13U-high chassis.

The DKM FX Modular KVM Extender Interface Card extends visually lossless, high-resolution DisplayPort signals over CATx cable. It also features two USB HID ports so you can easily connect your keyboards, mice, and other devices. You can use the extender card with the DKM FX Chassis for matrix switching or as a point-to-point KVM extender.
The DKM FX Extender Card supports 4K resolutions (4096 x 2160 and 3840 x 2160) in single-head mode and up to 1920 x 1200 video in dual-head mode. Audio is directly reproduced by any connected displays with integrated speakers. The stereo signal can also be extracted and output separately.

The DKM extender setup provides the widest range of possible combinations, which makes it easy to customize for your specific application.

The DKM Modular KVM Extenders are comprised of modular housing chassis with 2, 4, 6, or 21 slots, basic link modules and upgrade module for your peripheral needs. Special converter modules provide a video conversion for analog video input formats and DVI output or a 8-port DKM FXC switching module build into the DKM Extender housing to save even more space.

Basic link Modules
The modules featured on this page provide the cable connection to the remote end in a point-to-point extension respectively in a switched extension the connection to the DKM FC/FXC matrix switch. Each Modular DKM Extender housing must be equipped with at least one basic link module

Choose from CATx, fiber at 1 Gbps or high-speed fiber at 2.5 Gbps depending on your distance and bandwidth requirements. CATx is ideal for shorter distances up to 140 meters, the fiber modules work with both multi-mode (< 1km) and single mode (< 10km) fiber. The high-speed modules with 2.5 Gbps are ideal for demanding video applications.

Basic link modules are available with Single Link DVI-D, DVI-I with VGA input and DVI-D output, or HDMI video plus USB HID. Dual Link DVI-D modules will soon round up the portfolio offering either one dual link DVI-D channel up to 2560 x 1600 or two Single Link DVI-D channels up to 1920 x 1200.

• The RS-232 connector is DB9F; the RS-485 connector is RJ-45; other connectors are available (see Related Items).
• Built-in silicon avalanche diode surge protection against data loss and equipment damage from transient surges.
• You can also "fine tune" impedance and "echo" characteristics for your individual application.
• For configuration, the converter features two internal 4-position DIP switches.
