DKM FX Repeater Module

The DKM extender setup provides the widest range of possible combinations, which makes it easy to customize for your specific application.

The DKM Modular KVM Extenders are comprised of modular housing chassis with 2, 4, 6, or 21 slots, Basic Link Modules and Upgrade Module for your peripheral needs. Special converter modules provide a video conversion for analog video input formats and DVI output or a 8-port DKM FXC switching module build into the DKM Extender housing to save even more space.

Repeater Modules
With the modules featured on this page you can double the distance of a copper or fibre run with the DKM FX System. With the cross repeater modules (ACX1M-CS and ACX1M-2C2S) you can also convert CATx to fibre. The modules fit into your DKM Modular Transmitter Housing. They double the distance depending on the calbe type (CATx or fibre).

ACX1M-CC and ACX1M-2C2C:
Repeats data signal on CATx cable when placed between transmitter and receiver.
Extends copper cable runs from 122 m to 244 m maximum.

ACX1M-SS and ACX1M-2S2S:
Repeats data signal on fibre cable when placed between transmitter and receiver.
Extends fiber cable runs from 10 km to 20 km maximum.

ACX1M-CS and ACX1M-2C2S:
Repeats data signal when placed between transmitter and receiver.
Extends fibre cable runs from 10 km to 20 km and copper cable runs from 122 m to 244 m maximum.
Reduces EMI interference when used to convert from copper to fibre.


DKM Modular Extenders Overview
DKM Modular Housings are available with desktop chassis for two, four, or six modules or use a 19” rack mount chassis for 21 modules. For mission critical applications, all housings are available with redundant power. DC-power for industrial usage can be supplied, too. Choose one housing with transmitter modules for your computer end and one housing with the corresponding receiver modules at your user station.
The desktop housings can be mounted with optional kits on DIN-rails, walls, under the table as well as in 19” racks. No matter which chassis you select, all ports are arranged on the front side of the chassis to ensure comfortable access while installing and maintaining them.

Basic Link Modules offer the cable connection to the remote end. Each housing must be equipped with at least one of these modules. Choose from CATx, fiber at 1 Gbps or high-speed fiber at 2.5 Gbps depending on your distance and bandwidth requirements. They are available with Single Link DVI-D, DVI-I with VGA input and DVI-D output, or HDMI video plus USB HID.

The Upgrade Modules carry their signals over the cable connections from the basic link modules to save on infrastructure needs. They provide a large variety of peripheral interfaces like USB HID, PS/2, embedded USB 2.0 at 36 Mbps, serial RS-232 or RS-422, bidirectional analog audio and uni-, or-bidirectional digital audio. Mix and match the options according to your application needs.

The DKM Repeater Modules repeat the data signals when the cable is placed between transmitter and receiver, so you can double the distance of a run with your DKM FX.

The DKM Converter Modules allow the integration of analog video inputs into your DKM Switching and Extension System.

The DKM Extenders work as a point-to-point extension solution or can be combined with the DKM and DKM FX/FXC KVM Switches to build up a free scalable and flexible KVM switching matrix
Use our DKM configuration tool (top right of this page) to easily configure the KVM Extender according to your needs. The results are supplied in a PDF format for comfortable quote requests, ordering, and filing. If you require any assistance with your configuration, please call our Free Tech Support any time.
