SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To ensure reliable and safe long-term operation of your Modular KVM Matrix Switch, note the following guidelines.
TECHNICAL SUPPORT
1. 8 7 7. 8 7 7. 2 2 6 9
INSTALLATION
 Only use the device according to this User Manual. Failure to follow these procedures could result in damage to the equipment
or injury to the user or installer.
Only use in dry, indoor environments.
The Modular KVM Matrix Switch and the power supply units can get warm. Do not install components in an enclosed space without
any airflow.
Do not obscure ventilation holes.
Only use power supplies originally supplied with the product or manufacturer-approved replacements. Do not use a power supply
if it appears to be defective or has a damaged chassis.
 Connect all power supplies to grounded outlets. In each case, ensure that the ground connection is maintained from the outlet
socket through to the power supply’s AC power input.
 In case the device is equipped with one or more grounding screws, be sure to use these for normal operation to ensure the
grounding of the chassis.
Do not connect the link interface to any other equipment, particularly network or telecommunications equipment.
Only connect devices to the serial interface that are protected against short circuit currents and incorrect voltages at the serial
interface.
 To disconnect the Modular KVM Matrix Switch from the power supply, remove the power cord cables of all power supply units
or switch supplies off.
Take any required ESD precautions.
To disconnect the device completely from the electric circuit, all power cables have to be removed.

REPAIR
Do not attempt to open or repair a power supply unit.
Do not attempt to open or repair the Modular KVM Matrix Switch. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
Contact Black Box Technical Support at 877-877-2269 or info@blackbox.com if there is a fault.

TECHNICAL SUPPORT
1. 8 7 7. 8 7 7. 2 2 6 9
1.1 INTERFACES
1.1.1 DVI-D SINGLE-LINK
The video interface supports the DVI-D protocol. All signals that comply with DVI-D Single Link norm can be transmitted. This includes 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 MPixel/s.
1.1.2 US B-H ID
Modular KVM Desktop Switch devices with USB-HID interface support a maximum of two devices with USB-HID protocol. Each USB-HID port provides a maximum current of 100 mA.
KEYBOARD
The Modular DKM Desktop Switch is compatible with most USB keyboards. Certain keyboards with additional functions may require custom firmware to operate. Keyboards with an integral USB Hub (e.g., Mac keyboards) are also supported.
MOUSE
The Modular DKM Desktop Switch is 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 touch screens, graphic tablets, barcode 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 touch screen. 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.
1.1.3 RJ-45 (NETWORK)
The communication of the CATx devices requires a 1000BASE-T connection.
The cabling must comply with EIA/TIA-568-B (1000BASE-T) standards with RJ45 connectors at both ends. All four wire pairs are used in both directions. The cabling is suitable for a full duplex operation. For the cable connection to a source (computer, CPU), you must use a crossed network cable (cross cable).
1.1.4 RJ-45 (SERIAL)
Communication takes place with a transmission speed of 115.2 KBaud, regardless of the file format. The transmission takes place with eight data bits and a stop bit, but without a parity bit. Limited hardware handshake (DSR) is possible.

CHAPTER 1: SPECIFICATIONS
1.1.5 RJ-45 (INTERCONNECT)
Communication between CATx devices 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)
Communication of fiber devices is performed via Gigabit SFPs that are connected to suitable fibers fitted with LC type connectors (see Section 1.2.2).
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). Consider ESD handling specifications.
TECHNICAL SUPPORT
1. 8 7 7. 8 7 7. 2 2 6 9
1.1.7 SDI (INTERCONNECT)
Communication of the SDI devices requires a mini coax connection with mini BNC connectors or 3G SFPs with transmission speeds of 0.36 Gbit/s (SD-SDI, SMPTE 259M), 1.485 Gbit/s (HD-SDI, SMPTE 292M) and 2.97 Gbit/s (3G SDI).
1.2 INTERCONNECT CABLE
1. 2.1 C AT X
NOTE: A point-to-point connection is required. Operation with several patch fields is possible. Routing over an active network component, such as an Ethernet Hub, Router or Matrix, is not allowed.
Avoid routing CATx cables along power cables.
CAUTION: To maintain regulatory EMC compliance, correctly installed shielded CATx cable must be used throughout the interconnection link.
CAUTION: To maintain regulatory EMC compliance, all CATx cables need to carry ferrites on both cable ends close to the device.
TYPE OF INTERCONNECT CABLE
The Modular KVM Matrix Switch requires interconnect cabling specified for Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T). The use of solid-core (AWG24), shielded, CAT5e (or better) is recommended.
TABLE 1-1. CATX INTERCONNECT CABLE TYPES

1.8 MT BF
The following table contains the mean time between failure (MTBF) in power-on hours (POH). The estimate is based on the FIT rates of the parts included. FIT rates are based on normalized environmental conditions of T = 140° F (60° C) and activation energy (Ea) of 0.7 eV. Calculations are based on 90% confidence limit.
We estimate that inside the housing, temperature will be 59° F (15°C) higher than the ambient temperature. Therefore, the MTBF calculation refers to an ambient temperature of 113° F (45° C). The humidity is limited to 60%.

2.1 APPLICATION
The Modular KVM Matrix Switch is used to establish connections from consoles (monitor, keyboard, mouse and other peripheral devices) to various sources (computer, CPU).
In its maximum configuration, up to 576 independent ports can be defined and switched either as a console or a CPU. The Modular KVM Matrix Switch is designed to operate with extenders that are able to transmit video, KVM and USB 2.0 signals. But it can also be used as a video matrix.
The connection between the matrix and the peripheral devices, such as KVM extenders or video sources, can be made by CATx, fiber, or coaxial cables.
The matrix serves as a repeater and can be run at a maximum distance of 6.2 miles (10 km) from the consoles and 6.2 miles (10 km) from the sources.
2.2 ACCESS OPTIONS
The following options are available to configure and operate the Modular KVM Matrix Switch.

2.3 SYSTEM OVERVIEW
A Modular KVM Matrix Switch system consists of a Modular KVM Matrix Switch and, for KVM applications, one or more CPU Units / CON Units. The Modular KVM Matrix Switch is connected to the CPU Units / CON Units by interconnect cables or directly to the video devices where used as a video matrix.
CPU Units are connected directly to the sources (computer, CPU) by the provided cables.
Monitor(s), keyboard and mouse are connected to the CON Units.
Communication between the Modular KVM Matrix Switch and the CPU Units / CON Units occurs over the respective interconnect cables.
