Black Box KVXLC-100-R2 KVM Extender

Extend your desktop with ease using the Black Box KVXLC-100-R2 KVM Extender. This reliable kit transmits keyboard, video, and mouse signals over a single CATx cable, giving you flexible placement of equipment without sacrificing performance or control. Engineered for single-monitor setups, it delivers crisp video and responsive input wherever you need it—behind a rack, across a shop floor, or in a remote control station. Built on Black Box's longstanding reputation for robust, mission-critical hardware, the KVXLC-100-R2 is designed to withstand demanding environments while maintaining simple, plug-and-play operation. Whether you're expanding a data center, configuring a control room, or optimizing a public kiosk, this KVM extender keeps you in command with minimal setup and maximum reliability.

• Flexible placement and CATx simplicity: Position the host computer wherever it makes the most sense—on a rack, in a cabinet, or in a nearby equipment room—while your keyboard, video, and mouse stay at the operator station. A single CATx cable carries all KVM signals, dramatically reducing clutter and installation cost. This setup is ideal for industrial control rooms, security consoles, educational labs, or medical environments where space is at a premium. The KVXLC-100-R2 maintains signal integrity across routing paths such as ceilings, walls, or underfloor trays, so you can design your workspace for safety and efficiency without compromise.
• Single-monitor clarity and performance: While multi-monitor extenders exist, this model emphasizes high-quality output for a single display. Expect reliable frame rates, minimal perceived latency, and faithful color reproduction that keeps text sharp and graphics vivid. In control rooms, dashboards, or point-of-sale configurations, operators benefit from a steady, distraction-free viewing experience. The design prioritizes predictability and ease of use, ensuring consistent performance across ongoing shifts and routine tasks. If your setup evolves to multiple displays, Black Box offers scalable KVXLC solutions that grow with your needs.
• Plug-and-play installation and broad compatibility: The KVXLC-100-R2 is built for fast deployment with minimal fuss. Connect the transmitter to the host computer’s keyboard, video, and mouse outputs, link to the remote receiver via CATx, and attach peripherals at the operator station. The result is a seamless extension that behaves like a local desktop, with the only requirement being reliable power and a properly cabled link. This makes it an excellent fit for remote operations, training rooms, or IT disaster recovery scenarios where you want to relocate hardware without disrupting user access or performance.
• Durable, professional-grade build and reliability: Black Box products are known for rugged construction designed to withstand busy environments. The KVXLC-100-R2 emphasizes durability in industrial and data-center settings, with shielding and connectors engineered for long life and stable signaling over the CATx link. Fewer failure points mean lower maintenance costs and less downtime, a critical consideration for mission-critical control rooms, security operations centers, and broadcast environments where consistent KVM behavior translates to faster decision-making and smoother operations.
• Versatile applications across industries: This extender supports a wide range of deployments. Manufacturers can centralize computing in a secure area while operators work at a distant console. Healthcare facilities can reduce cable clutter in patient-care or imaging zones. Educational campuses can place servers away from classrooms while giving students a responsive workstation. Corporate IT teams can consolidate workstations, enable remote administration, and simplify disaster recovery planning. The KVXLC-100-R2 is a flexible, scalable solution that adapts to evolving workflows and workspace redesigns without sacrificing control or performance.
