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.

• Supports integrated DisplayPort digital audio.
• High-speed fiber module card.

This is the high-speed fiber interface card, which uses 2.5Gbps. This reduces latency on the USB HID stack. Compatible with other endpoints, such as HDMI and DVI cards. For example, a DisplayPort transmitter can be connected to an HDMI receiver; the signal will translate to the correct signal type.

The DKM FX HD Video and Peripheral Matrix Switching System are comprised of modular housing chassis with 2, 4, 6, or 21 slots and transmitter and receiver interface cards. The DKM extender setup provides the widest range of possible combinations, which makes it easy to customize for your specific application.

The DKM FX components are part of a modular system. You will need to contact Black Box to have them assembled to fit your application. To configure your DKM HD Video and Peripheral Matrix Switch setup,

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.
