The StarTech SV565FXHD4KU 4K HDMI KVM Extender over Fiber Transmitter and Receiver Kit is an advanced solution designed to transmit uncompressed 4K video and USB signals over long distances using fiber optic cabling. Complete with two 10G MMF SFP+ modules, this wired KVM extension kit allows users to reliably control a computer or a KVM switch from a remote location up to 300 meters away with multimode fiber, or up to 500 meters with single-mode fiber.

Advantages

This extender kit delivers pristine Ultra HD 4K resolution at 60Hz with 4:4:4 chroma sampling, ensuring exceptional clarity, accurate color reproduction, and zero signal degradation. It supports digital 7.1 surround sound audio and features EDID passthrough to maintain seamless display compatibility. The inclusion of open SFP+ slots and bundled 10G multimode SFP+ modules with LC connectors allows for a robust, immune-to-interference fiber connection ideal for electrically noisy environments. Additionally, the integrated USB 1.1 HID ports provide smooth connection for keyboards and mice without requiring complex network configurations or proprietary drivers.

Suitable for

• Remote server management in enterprise data centers
• Security monitoring and surveillance control rooms
• Industrial automation and manufacturing floor oversight
• Digital signage setups requiring long-distance video transmission
• Broadcasting and media production environments

This product may not be suitable for basic home office setups that do not utilize fiber optic infrastructure or lack the requirement for extended-range remote console placement. It is also not intended for standard copper-based network switches unless appropriate media conversion planning is applied.
