The modular DKM KVM extenders offer the widest range of combination possibilities for video and peripheral signals, so you can find the perfect KVM extender even for very specific applications.

The modular DKM KVM extenders consist of housings with 2, 4, 6, or 21 slots, base modules with video and two USB HID interfaces, and upgrade modules for peripheral connections. Special converter modules offer conversion from analog to digital, allowing you to use various analog video sources with the system. For particularly space-saving installations, an 8-port switching module is also available, offering the same functionality as the DKM FXC switches.

Base Modules:

The modules on this page provide one or two video ports and two USB HID connections for keyboard and mouse. Additionally, they offer CATx or LC fiber connections for the link to the remote location or, in a switched environment, to the central KVM switch. Every modular DKM extender housing must be equipped with at least one base module.

Choose between cable connections via CATx, fiber with 1 Gbps, or high-speed fiber with 2.5 Gbps depending on the desired distance and video bandwidth. CATx connections are ideal for shorter distances up to 140m. The fiber modules support both multimode up to 1km and singlemode cables up to 10km range. The 2.5 Gbps high-speed modules are designed for demanding graphics applications, offering twice the bandwidth of standard modules.

Base modules are available in various video formats. Options include Single Link DVI-D, DVI-I with VGA input and DVI-D output, Dual Head DVI-D, HDMI, and DisplayPort, each with two USB HID connections for keyboard and mouse.

Modules with special functions expand your possibilities even further. The modules with redundant links are ideal for applications requiring a return channel or use them when two users need to share a video channel. Modules with integrated 2-port switches are the ideal solution when, in addition to the remote console, a local console needs to be connected directly to the computer or a console needs to access both a remote and a local computer. For pure HD video distribution, choose modules with only a video interface. If you're using Wacom tablets or other broadband USB devices, choose the transparent USB 2.0 module with a speed of 480 Mbps and its own cable link.

Resolutions:

Thanks to digital transmission of the video signal without any quality loss, the images are as sharp as if they were connected directly to the workstation. Advanced algorithms for video compression support 24-bit color depth for smooth color transitions. Single Link DVI delivers pixel-perfect resolutions up to 2048 x 1152, Dual Link DVI up to 2560 x 1600/2x2K, HDMI is rendered pixel-perfect up to 1080p, and DisplayPort even up to 4K over the full distance.

DKM Modular Extenders Overview:

The housings are available as desktop versions with two, four, or six slots as well as in a 48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) version with 21 slots. For critical applications, it is best to use the versions with two power supplies for redundant operation. Choose between internal or external power supplies, AC supply, or in industrial applications DC with 12-, 24-, or 48VDC. The desktop housings can also be mounted on the wall, under the desk, on a DIN rail, or in a 48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) IT cabinet using optional mounting kits. Configure a housing with transmitter cards for connection to the computer and a housing with receiver cards for connection to the console.

Base modules provide the cable link to the remote side. Each housing must be equipped with a base card. These offer one or two video channels and two USB HID ports.

The upgrade modules transmit their signals via the base cards and therefore do not have their own cable link to the remote side. This saves on infrastructure costs and space. Choose from a variety of interfaces such as USB HID, PS/2, embedded USB 2.0 with 36 Mbps, serial RS-232 or RS-422 data, bidirectional analog audio, and uni- or bidirectional digital audio. Combine the cards with the base modules in one housing.

The DKM converter modules enable the connection of video sources with analog video formats such as component and composite or industrial formats such as EGA, CGA, or MDA. For graphics applications, there are additional options for SDI, HD-SDI, or 3G-SDI. The converter modules convert the analog signals into digital DVI-D signals and transmit them loss-free over the distance.

The DKM FXC switching modules offer real space savings. They require two slots in the housing but provide 8 ports and the full functionality of the DKM FXC matrix switches. Use these modules in the transmitter housing, saving you the cost and space of a separate KVM switch and giving your user access to eight computers with instant switching. Choose between two versions with eight CATx or eight fiber connections.

The modular DKM extenders can be used for point-to-point extension when the computer is located away from the user console. They offer the widest variety of interfaces and the highest video quality, making them ideal for graphic users and those with specialized peripherals. In larger switched expansions, the modular DKM extenders work perfectly with the KVM matrix switches from the DKM FX and DKM FXC series. In combination with the DKM switches, you can create a freely scalable and flexible switching system that integrates all the resources in the company.
