BlackBox ACX1MR-VDHID-2C CATx DKM receiver card, DVI-I (DVI or VGA) plus USB HID with link redundancy for modular housing content_copy

The DVI splitter cable from BlackBox enables the simultaneous transmission of a DVI-D video signal from a computer to two separate monitors. It is an unpowered splitter that does not require external power, instead being powered via a USB connection. The solution is specifically designed for applications in KVM extension systems, where a local monitor is connected at a workstation while the signal is routed to a second display via an extension.

Applications
This cable is ideal for scenarios where a single DVI-D output from a computer must be distributed to two display devices. Typical use cases include KVM systems, where a user works on a local monitor while a second monitor is displayed at a remote location or in a different room. The application requires no additional power supplies, as power is supplied via the USB connection, simplifying installation and reducing space requirements.

Features and Equipment in Detail
The splitter features a DVI-D male connector as input and two outputs: a DVI-D female connector and a DVI-D male connector. This configuration allows direct connection to a monitor and signal forwarding to a second device. Full EDID support ensures that monitors correctly transmit their display identification data to the device, automatically setting optimal resolution and image quality. EDID settings are adjustable to ensure compatibility with various monitor manufacturers.

Technology Explained Simply
The device operates using Single Link DVI technology, designed for video signal transmission up to a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels. Signal distribution is passive, without active amplification, increasing simplicity and reliability. Power supply via USB Type A is sufficient to ensure signal distribution, eliminating the need for an additional power adapter. The total cable length is 2 metres, providing sufficient reach for typical work environments.

Compatibility and Accessories
The splitter cable is designed for devices with DVI-D connections. It supports the transmission of Single Link DVI signals and is therefore compatible with monitors that support this interface. Adjustable EDID settings enable flexible use with various monitor models. It is not designed for DVI-I or VGA signals, as it supports DVI-D connections exclusively.

Installation and Mounting
Installation involves simply connecting the DVI-D male connector to the computer’s output. The two outputs are connected to the respective monitors. Power is supplied via a USB connection, which can be connected to a computer or a USB hub. The cabling is straightforward and requires no additional configuration steps. The device is compact, measuring 10 x 4.7 x 2.3 cm (excluding cable), and can be easily integrated into existing work environments.

Advantages in Operation
Operation is simple and requires no additional power supply. Full EDID support ensures optimal image quality and compatibility. The combination of DVI-D male and female outputs offers flexibility in cabling. The warranty includes 2 years Double Diamond™ (Standard), indicating the product’s reliability. The total length of 2 metres provides sufficient flexibility for most application scenarios.

The device is suitable for use in office environments, IT infrastructures, and KVM systems where simple and reliable signal distribution is required. The combination of passive signal distribution, USB power supply, and EDID support makes it a practical solution for simultaneously using two monitors from a single DVI-D output.
