Introduction
The SV565FXDUSA USB DVI KVM Console Extender w/ Serial & Audio Over MM Fiber
(2km) lets you control a server, computer or multiple computers (connected through
KVM Switch) over a multi-mode ber link, at distances of up to 2000m (6562 ft) away.
By transmitting the digital DVI video (or HDMI with a DVI to HDMI adapter) over a
multi-mode optical ber link there is no loss of signal quality, so the video is as sharp
and vivid as if the monitor was connected directly to the PC.
For added convenience, the Console/KVM extender supports USB computer
connections, and is compatible with any brand of USB KVM Switch.
Backed by a StarTech.com 3-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.

Preparing Your Site
Before you can install the product, you need to prepare your site.
1. Determine where the host computer will be located and set up the computer.
2. Determine where the console devices (mouse, keyboard, monitor) will be located
and place them appropriately.
3. a) If you are using surface cabling, ensure you have enough Multi-Mode Fiber
network cabling to connect the Computer Unit to the Console Unit’s location, and
that each end is terminated with an SC connector. The cabling should not go
through any networking equipment (i.e. router, switch).
OR
b) If you are using premise cabling, ensure that the Multi-Mode Fiber network
cabling between the Computer Unit and the Console Unit has been properly
terminated in a wall outlet in each location and there is a patch cable long enough
to connect the Console Unit and the Computer Unit to their respective outlets. The
cabling should not go through any networking equipment (i.e. router, switch).
