Chapter 1: Specifications
1.Specifications 1.1 Interfaces
1.1.1 DVI-D Single Link
The video interface supports the DVI-D protocol. All signals that comply with the DVI-D Single-Link specification can be transmitted. This includes, for example, monitor resolutions such as 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz, Full HD (1080p), or 2K HD (up to 2048 x 1152). Data rate is limited to 165 Megapixels per second.
1.1.2 DVI-I Single Link
The video interface supports the DVI-I protocol. All analog (VGA) or digital (DVI) signals that comply with the DVI-I Single-Link specification can be transmitted. This includes monitor resolutions for VGA up to 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz, and monitor resolutions for DVI-I up to Full HD (1080p) or for DVI-D 2K HD (up to 2048 x 1152). Data rate is limited to 165 Megapixels per second.
NOTE: Transmission of interlaced video signals, such as 1920 x 1080i, cannot be guaranteed.
1.1.3 USB-HID
Our devices with an USB-HID interface support a maximum of two devices compliant with the USB-HID protocol. Each USB-HID port provides a maximum current of 100 mA.
Keyboard
Compatible with most USB keyboards. Certain keyboards with additional functions may require custom firmware to operate. Keyboards with an integral USB hub (such as Mac® keyboards) are also supported.
Mouse
Compatible with most 2-button, 3-button, and scroll mice.
Other USB-HID devices
The proprietary USB emulation also supports certain other USB-HID devices, such as specific touchscreens, graphics tablets, bar-code scanners or special keyboards. Support cannot be guaranteed, however, for every USB-HID device.
NOTE: Only two USB-HID devices are supported concurrently, such as keyboard and mouse or keyboard and touchscreen. A hub is allowed, but it does not increase the number of HID devices allowed.
To support other USB ”non-HID” devices, such as scanners, Web cams, or memory devices, choose our devices with transparent USB support.
1.1.4 USB 2.0 (transparent)
DKM Modular Extender models with transparent USB 2.0 support allow the connection of all types of USB 2.0 devices (without restriction). USB 2.0 data transfer is supported with high-speed USB (max. 480 Mbps).
Each USB 2.0 port provides a maximum current of 500 mA (high power).
1.1.5 RJ-45 (Interconnect)
For CATx communications, the extender requires a 1000BASE-T connection.
Connector wiring must comply with EIA/TIA-568-B (1000BASE-T), with RJ-45 connectors at both ends. All four cable wire pairs are used.
1.1.6 Fiber SFP Type LC (Interconnect)
The communication of fiber devices is performed via Gigabit SFPs that have to be connected to suitable fibers fitted with type LC connectors (see Chapter 1.2.2).
NOTE: The correct function of the device can only be guaranteed with SFPs provided by Black Box.
CAUTION: SFP modules can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD).
