A remote workstation, with an optical connection.
Keep a computer in the equipment area and bring its HDMI picture and supported USB peripherals to a remote operator. 4KIP500F-KVM uses duplex multimode OM4 fibre with LC connectors for its matched transmitter and receiver, with optional switched-network deployment for several independent pairs.

Know what connects where.
Connection overview. Check the requirements below for the exact ports, cable type and supported operating mode.
Distance with a clear cable plan
The supplied multimode optical arrangement supports up to 550m over compatible duplex OM4 fibre. The advertised 10km option requires suitable single-mode fibre and replacement single-mode optical modules; it is not the range of the supplied multimode setup.
Work with the computer from the far end
HDMI carries up to 4K 30Hz, while three USB 2.0 device ports bring supported peripherals to the operator. This is compressed video transport, so it should not be described as a guaranteed zero-latency link.
Pair the channels correctly
Set the four-bit DIP channel ID to match on each transmitter and receiver. Up to 16 independent pairs can share a suitable Gigabit switched network; this arrangement does not turn the kit into a one-to-many video matrix.
Make sure it fits your setup.
Match the pair
Use the same model family and matching channel IDs. These KVM extenders are not interchangeable with 4KIP200E/200D video-distribution equipment.
Choose the right medium
Duplex multimode om4 fibre with lc connectors. Match the optical modules, wavelength and fibre type; connector shape alone is not enough.
Power both ends
Use the supplied DC power adapters for the transmitter and receiver. This model is not powered by a standard PoE switch.
From unboxing to connected.
Plan the link
Match the cable type, total length and required resolution to this model’s limits.
Connect both ends
Put the transmitter at the source and the receiver at the display or USB devices.
Power the kit
Use the power connection specified for this model; then check the link indicators.
Test before installing
Confirm video, sound and any USB/control functions before securing the cable run.

A little clarity before you buy.
Can one transmitter feed several receivers?
This model is specified for independent one-to-one pairs, including pairs on a suitable network. Choose a dedicated AV-over-IP matrix family for one-to-many distribution.
Will it work with another AV Access decoder?
Do not mix product families. A similar enclosure or RJ45/fibre connector does not establish interoperability.
Is the longest advertised range available out of the box?
The supplied multimode optical setup is specified up to 550m. A 10km installation requires the appropriate replacement optics and single-mode fibre.
