Black Box KVXLCDPF-100 KVM Extender

The KVX Single Head KVM Extender from Black Box delivers seamless, high-performance remote management for servers and workstations. Engineered for data centers, control rooms, and enterprise IT environments, this KVM extender lets you control a host computer from a distant location over single-mode or multimode fiber. With support for 4K video and a flexible SFP-based interface, the KVXLCDPF-100 is built to maximize uptime, streamline administration, and simplify rack deployments. PC connection cables are included, making setup straightforward and fast right out of the box.

Designed with IT professionals in mind, the KVX extender combines robust performance with a compact, unobtrusive form factor. Its single-head architecture minimizes cabling clutter while delivering the full KVM experience—keyboard, video, and mouse signals—across long distances. Whether you’re consolidating servers in a data center or managing remotely located infrastructure, this extender provides the reliability and clarity you need to keep systems running smoothly.

• Long-range KVM over fiber: Control a server or computer from up to 10 km away using either single-mode or multimode fiber. Distance is determined by the SFP module, fiber type, and available bandwidth, giving you flexible deployment options for data centers, campuses, or remote sites.
• Stunning 4K video support: Experience sharp, pixel-dense visuals at 4K resolutions, enabling precise configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting on high-resolution displays without compromising performance or clarity.
• Plug-and-play PC connection cables included: The kit includes the essential cables you need to connect your local host to the transmitter, shortening deployment time and reducing the need for extra accessories.
• Compact single-head design: The KVX extender’s single-head form factor simplifies installation in crowded racks and tight spaces while preserving a clean, organized IT environment.
• Flexible, SFP-based fiber options: Use a range of SFP modules to tailor distance and bandwidth for your site. This flexibility ensures compatibility with existing fiber infrastructure and future upgrades.
