KVM kit VivoLink VLKVM150 HDBaseT KVM extender 18Gbps, range up to 150 m

VivoLink VLKVM150 is a KVM kit that uses HDBaseT technology to extend video, keyboard, mouse and control signals over a single cable for distances up to 150 m. Designed for scenarios that require remote access to a central PC, the unit supports 18 Gbps AV bandwidth to maintain high-quality video and system responsiveness while consolidating cabling and simplifying installation.

Advantages

The extender transmits uncompressed AV and control signals over one Cat cable, reducing the need for multiple signal runs and minimizing latency. Support for 18 Gbps bandwidth preserves image detail and color fidelity for high-resolution displays. The compact sender and receiver units are compatible with standard KVM peripherals and allow remote operation of a host PC from a user console. Integration with HDBaseT simplifies long-distance deployment and ensures consistent performance at extended ranges.

Suitable for

• Conference rooms where the PC is placed remotely from the display and control station
• Control rooms and monitoring centres requiring centralized computing with remote operator access
• Digital signage installations that need reliable AV delivery and occasional local control
• Education and corporate AV systems with long cable runs and limited rack space

Key specifications

• Technology: HDBaseT KVM extender
• Max bandwidth: 18 Gbps for video and audio transmission
• Maximum range: up to 150 metres over a single Ethernet cable
• Signals extended: video, keyboard, mouse and control signals
• Connector type: standard RJ45 for HDBaseT connection
• Form factor: separate sender (near host) and receiver (near user) units

How to use

Connect the sender unit to the host PC using the required video and USB or PS/2 connections for keyboard and mouse, then connect the receiver to the user’s display and peripherals. Link the two units with a single Cat cable rated for the installation distance and ensure both units are powered. After connection, configure display settings on the host PC as needed; the extender preserves EDID information so native resolutions are maintained where supported.

Usage recommendations

Use a high-quality, properly shielded Cat cable (Cat6a or better recommended) for reliable performance at longer distances and to maintain the full 18 Gbps bandwidth. Keep cable runs away from strong electromagnetic interference sources and verify power stability for both sender and receiver to avoid signal interruptions.
