BG-UHD-18GFE 4K HDMI & USB KVM Extender Kit over Fiber with HDR, Bi-Directional IR & RS-232

The BG-UHD-18GFE HDMI & USB KVM Extender Kit over fiber is an advanced solution designed for high-performance video, audio, and USB signal extension. Ideal for professional AV setups, this system uses SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) single-mode fiber optics for reliable, long-distance signal transmission, offering robust immunity to electromagnetic interference. The extender kit supports 4K video resolutions at 60Hz, complete with HDR support for exceptional color depth and clarity, while maintaining the integrity of the signal over long distances. This makes it an ideal choice for applications such as digital signage, video walls, conference rooms, home theaters, and remote workstations that require secure and high-quality signal extension.

Equipped with bi-directional IR and RS-232 control, the BG-UHD-18GFE allows for seamless operation of connected devices from either end of the extension, offering full control of your HDMI, USB, and other peripheral devices. With HDMI 2.0a, HDCP 2.2 compliance, and 18Gbps video bandwidth, the system ensures superior video and audio quality with support for HDR, surround sound, and stereo audio. The SFP-based fiber optic connection further increases the flexibility and reach of the system, enabling reliable transmission of high-definition video and control signals across large areas or even through walls or floors.

This KVM extender kit is built to meet the needs of a wide range of environments, offering automatic signal equalization, bi-directional IR pass-through, and comprehensive protection features. The device operates in a broad temperature range, making it perfect for both commercial and industrial applications. Whether you're connecting remote workstations, extending video signals across long distances, or controlling HDMI and USB devices remotely, the BG-UHD-18GFE provides an all-in-one solution for your needs with the added benefit of fiber-optic reliability and SFP connectivity.
