SmartAVI FDX-2000 KVM Console/Extender

Discover a robust, fiber-based KVM extension solution designed for demanding environments. The SmartAVI FDX-2000 combines a transmitter and receiver to extend KVM, DVI-D, audio, and RS-232 signals over a single multimode fiber optic link. Built for mission-critical data centers, control rooms, laboratories, and industrial facilities, this professional-grade KVM extender delivers exceptional signal quality, minimal latency, and reliable performance across long distances. Whether you are centralizing management for remote servers, monitoring systems, or network equipment, the FDX-2000 makes it effortless to control distant assets with a single, intuitive console while reducing cable clutter and electrical interference.

• Long-distance KVM extension across fiber: Transmit keyboard, video (DVI-D), and mouse signals, along with audio and RS-232, over a single multimode fiber optic link up to 1,400 feet away. Expect near-zero latency, pixel-precise video, and responsive peripheral control at the remote site for smooth operation of servers, network gear, and control-room equipment.
• Transmitter/receiver architecture for rugged, plug-and-play deployment: The FDX-2000 is a compact, professional-grade pairing that can be mounted in standard racks or placed on a desktop. The transmitter connects to the host system and the receiver sits at the remote console, delivering a stable KVM experience with minimal setup and maintenance.
• DVI-D video fidelity across the fiber link: Supports digital video through DVI-D, preserving sharp text, brilliant colors, and high-resolution output. Ideal for dashboards, visualization interfaces, surveillance feeds, and active maintenance consoles where image clarity matters most.
• Full multimedia and control extension: In addition to KVM and DVI-D, the system extends embedded audio and RS-232 signals, enabling audio playback at remote workstations and remote device control from the local console for a complete, integrated management experience.
• Versatile deployment for data centers, control rooms, and industrial facilities: Fiber-based extension reduces EMI/EMC concerns, enhances security by limiting physical access to centralized equipment, and scales with facility needs as you expand your fiber infrastructure.

How to install SmartAVI FDX-2000 KVM Console/Extender

• Plan the fiber path and select appropriate multimode fiber (OM1/OM2/OM3) rated for the required distance, ensuring a clean, protected route with minimal bending and tension.
• Mount the transmitter near the host computer and connect the KVM, DVI-D, audio, and RS-232 cables to the transmitter’s corresponding ports, securing all connectors.
• Run the multimode fiber from the transmitter to the remote receiver location, making sure to match connector types (such as LC/SC) and avoiding sharp bends or kinks.
• Place and power the receiver at the remote console. Attach the KVM, DVI-D display, audio devices, and RS-232 peripherals as needed, then verify basic link status and signal integrity.
• Power on both units, validate keyboard/mouse response, ensure video is stable, test audio playback, and confirm RS-232 control functions. If required, configure any system-level settings or device profiles for your specific KVM environment.
