Avocent HMX8000R400 10 GbE 4K 60Hz 4 USB 2.0 network switch

High-Performance IP KVM Receiver

The Avocent HMX8000R400 is a 1U IP KVM receiver designed to extend 4K video, audio and USB 2.0 signals over a 10 GbE network link. It enables operators to locate critical computing hardware in a secure, temperature-controlled environment away from the workstation while maintaining pixel-perfect 4K 60Hz image quality. System control is managed from a single access point through verified tools for resource sharing. This unit suits broadcast, post-production and control-room workflows that demand high resolution and zero latency.

Ideal for Secure Remote Workstations

This receiver suits users who need to separate noisy or sensitive compute gear from the operator desk using standard IP infrastructure. It supports dual-head 4K operation when a second fibre connection is available and provides USB 2.0 for peripheral connectivity. Buyers who require only local KVM switching without IP extension should consider a direct-connect KVM switch instead. Environments lacking 10 GbE network capacity will not achieve the specified 4K 60Hz performance.

10 GbE Network Interface

The single 10 GbE port is the decisive specification; it carries the 4K 60Hz video stream, audio and USB 2.0 data over standard IP networking. Without a 10 GbE link the receiver cannot deliver its rated resolution and refresh rate. Fibre cabling is required for the primary connection, with a second fibre needed for dual-head 4K configurations.
