Chapter 2: Overview

2. Overview

2.1 Application

The DKM Modular Extender is used to increase the distance between a source (computer, CPU) and its console (keyboard, mouse, and other peripheral devices). It’s designed for use with CATx (twisted-pair) interconnect cables or fiber interconnect cables.

The DKM Modular Extender with CATx interconnect cables won’t work between buildings where you should use a fiber optic based product instead.

The DKM Modular Extender with fiber interconnect cables also works with applications in environments with a great deal of electromagnetical interference. Electromagnetical interference can limit the maximum distance und reliability.

The DKM Modular Extender is fully compatible with the DKM Compact Extender (ACX1T/ACX1R series).

It’s designed to work in point-to-point applications as well as through a ServSwitch DKM or ServSwitch DKM FX crosspoint switch.

2.2 System Overview

The DKM Modular Extender consists of at least one CPU module and one console (CON) module. A 2-, 4-, or 6-slot modular case holds the modules. The DKM Modular cases (2-slot, 4-slot, or 6-slot) are installed at the CPU (transmitter) and CON (receiver) site.

The CPU module connects directly to the source (computer, CPU) using the supplied cables. The CON module connects to the console (monitor, keyboard, and mouse). The CPU module and the CON modules communicate with each other through the interconnect cables. Figure 2-1 shows a typical system application. Table 2-1 describes the components shown in the diagram.
