Black Box KVXLCHF-100 KVM Console Extender 10km

KVM Console Extender 10km

The KVXLCHF-100 extends HDMI keyboard, video and mouse signals over fiber optic cable up to 10km. It includes PC connection cables for immediate deployment and supports both single-mode and multi-mode fiber depending on the SFP module used. Local video output at the transmitter allows an additional monitor for on-site monitoring. The unit is TAA compliant and suits remote server management in transport, medical or industrial settings.

Who this suits, who it does not

This extender fits operators who need to control a server or workstation from a distant console room without a dedicated remote KVM. It serves environments where the computer must stay in a secure or climate-controlled location while the user works elsewhere. Buyers who require multi-computer switching, USB peripheral extension beyond keyboard and mouse, or IP-based remote access over a network should consider a different product class.

Capacity and headroom

The link distance reaches 10km with appropriate single-mode fiber and SFP, while multi-mode fiber supports shorter runs determined by the module bandwidth. One HDMI video channel, keyboard and mouse are extended per unit; additional consoles or video heads need separate extenders. The local monitor port duplicates the transmitter output for spot-checking without consuming the remote path. Bandwidth is limited to the HDMI signal carried, so resolutions beyond the link capability will not pass.
