OVERVIEW
Want more versatility out of your extension applications?
Black Box has a line of DVI KVM extenders for both CATx and
fiber optic cabling that blows the doors off the competition!
ServSwitch DVI CATx KVM Extenders
(ACS1009A, ACS2209A, ACS4001A, ACS4201A)
With ServSwitch
™
DVI CATx KVM Extenders, you can send
your keyboard, mouse, and DVI-D video signals at up to 400
feet (121.9 m) over CAT5, CAT5e, or CAT6 cable.
Choose from two models each for Single or Dual DVI.
The ACS1009A and ACS2209A work with PS/2
®
keyboards and
mice; the ACS4001A and ACS4201A work with USB keyboards
and mice.
Connect a keyboard, mouse, and DVI-D monitor directly to
the computer on the transmitting end of the link and a KVM
console with a DVI-D monitor on the receiving end. This
method of dual access enables you to use your computer at
either location. If you think that’s something, wait until you
see what the Dual DVI models do!
The ACS2209A and ACS4201A are built for today’s
computers with dual video heads. Unlike the Single DVI models,
the Dual DVI models enable you to connect up to two DVI-D
monitors directly to the computer on the transmitting end of
the link and two DVI-D monitors at the receiving KVM console.
Imagine what you can do with more monitors connected
to your computer. You can put a different application on each
monitor to eliminate tedious switching between applications.
Or if you have an application that uses lots of small windows,
you can expand it across both monitors for more work space.
ServSwitch DVI Fiber Optic KVM Extenders
(ACS1009A-MM/-SM, ACS2209A-MM/-SM,
ACS4001A-MM/-SM, ACS4201A-MM/-SM)
ServSwitch DVI Fiber Optic KVM Extenders enable you
to send keyboard, mouse, and DVI-D video signals at up to
1312.3 feet (400 m) over multimode fiber or at up to 6.2 miles
(10 km) over single-mode fiber. Four models each are available
for Single DVI and Dual DVI.
Single DVI models work with PS/2 keyboards and mice
(ACS1009A-MM, ACS1009A-SM) or USB keyboards and mice
(ACS4001A-MM, ACS4001A-SM) over fiber. Connect a
keyboard, mouse, and DVI-D monitor directly to the computer
on the transmitting end of the link and a KVM console with
a DVI-D monitor on the receiving end. This method of dual
access enables you to use your computer at either location.
Dual DVI models for PS/2 (ACS2209A-MM, ACS2209A-SM)
and USB (ACS4201A-MM, ACS4201A-SM) are built for
computers with dual video heads. Unlike the Single DVI
models, Dual DVI models enable you to connect up to two
DVI-D monitors directly to the computer on the transmitting
end of the fiber link and two DVI-D monitors at the receiving
KVM console.
The Dual DVI models feature the same versatility as
their CATx versions. With more monitors connected to your
computer, the fiber extenders enable you to put a different
application on each monitor. And if you have an application
that uses lots of small windows, you can expand it across
both monitors at the local or remote console.

Recognize any of these situations?
• You wait more than 30 minutes to get through
to a vendor’s tech support.
• The so-called “tech” can’t help you or gives you
the wrong answer.
• You don’t have a purchase order number and
the tech refuses to help you.
• It’s 9 p. m. and you need help, but your vendor’s
tech support line is closed.
According to a survey by Data Communications
magazine, 90% of network managers surveyed say
that getting the technical support they need is extremely
important when choosing a vendor. But even though
network managers pay anywhere from 10 to 20% of
their overall purchase price for a basic service and
support contract, the technical support and service they
receive falls far short of their expectations—and
certainly isn’t worth what they paid.
At Black Box, we guarantee the best value and the
best support. You can even consult our Technical Support
Experts before you buy if you need help selecting just
the right component for your application.
Don’t waste time and money—call Black Box today.
