Black Box DKM FX HD Video and Peripheral Matrix Switch Single-Mode Fiber SFP

Unlock extended reach and seamless integration for your DKM FX HD Video and Peripheral Matrix switching system with the Black Box DKM FX HD Single-Mode Fiber SFP. Specifically designed to add a dedicated fiber transceiver port to your crosspoint DKM FX system, this compact SFP module delivers high-quality, low-latency fiber connectivity that keeps HD video, data, and peripheral signals synchronized across distances. Built to complement the precision and reliability Black Box is known for, the DKM FX HD Fiber SFP enables you to scale your matrix solution without sacrificing performance or control. Whether you’re building a large AV installation, a broadcast-ready workflow, or an enterprise video routing environment, this module helps you extend your reach while preserving signal integrity and system responsiveness.

• Seamless expansion for your DKM FX HD system: This single-mode fiber SFP is engineered to slot into the empty DKM FX Switch SFP I/O Module (ACXIO8-SFP), providing an additional LC duplex fiber input/output port without requiring a full system redesign. By plugging directly into the existing crosspoint matrix, you can scale routing capacity and extend the reach of HD video and peripheral signals with minimal downtime or configuration effort. The modular design makes upgrades incremental, so you can grow your network as your requirements evolve while maintaining familiar control and software workflows.
• Long-distance reach with single-mode fiber: The device supports distances up to 10 km (6.2 miles) over standard single-mode 9-micron fiber. This capability unlocks multi-room or campus-area routing, enabling centralized control of high-definition video feeds, camera signals, and peripheral data across substantial distances. For installations spanning lecture halls, conference centers, or corporate campuses, this SFP makes it practical to locate routing equipment in centralized data centers or telecom rooms while delivering pristine signal quality to remote endpoints.
• High-quality LC duplex fiber connectivity: The unit provides one LC duplex fiber input/output, aligning with common industry fiber transceiver standards. With LC duplex connectors, you can rely on a secure, compact connection that minimizes footprint in equipment racks while delivering stable, full-duplex transmission. The compatibility with standard LC duplex cabling helps you source cost-effective, readily available fiber optics and maintain consistent signal integrity across the link.
• Plug-and-play integration with the ACXIO8-SFP I/O Module: This SFP plugs into a slot on the empty DKM FX Switch SFP I/O Module (ACXIO8-SFP), enabling a straightforward upgrade path without complex wiring or external power considerations. By adhering to the DKM FX ecosystem, it preserves the matrix’s synchronous timing, control interfaces, and routing logic, so you can manage long-distance, fiber-based routing with the same console and software you already use for copper and other media paths. The result is a cohesive, scalable solution that reduces setup time and increases reliability across your AV network.
• Reliable, purpose-built for HD video and peripheral traffic: Black Box designed this fiber SFP to support the demands of the DKM FX HD Video and Peripheral Matrix, ensuring consistent performance for HD video streams and peripheral data without introducing jitter or loss. The single-mode fiber path helps minimize attenuation and maintain signal fidelity over longer distances, delivering a dependable backbone for your matrix routing. This means smoother transitions, fewer retransmits, and a better end-user experience for live events, conferences, or secure facility environments where video and peripheral data must stay synchronized.
