Product Information

Full details

This Kenable Aura KVM extender is designed for users who need to control a remote workstation, such as a DVR, NVR, or PC, from a distance of up to 120 meters. It offers the key benefit of managing your device with a keyboard and mouse while viewing its video output in up to 4K resolution over a single CAT6 cable. A potential caveat is that a separate USB A to A cable is required for KVM functionality, which is not included. Key features include 4K@30Hz HDMI signal extension, USB 1.1 device support in the reverse direction, Power over Ethernet (PoE) for the receiver, and a local HDMI loop-out on the transmitter.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum resolution supported?

The extender supports HDMI video signals up to 4K (3840x2160) at a 30Hz refresh rate.

Does the KVM functionality work with all USB devices?

The extender supports USB 1.1 devices. High-bandwidth USB 2.0 or higher devices may not function correctly.

Do I need to install any software?

No, this is a plug-and-play device and does not require any software installation for basic HDMI and KVM extension functionality.

What type of network cable should I use?

A CAT6 cable is recommended for optimal performance and maximum distance (up to 120m). CAT6a or CAT7 cables will also work.

Does the extender support audio transmission?

Yes, HDMI signal transmission includes audio. The extender passes through the audio embedded in the HDMI signal.

Is the power supply for the receiver included?

No, the receiver unit is powered via Power over Ethernet (PoE) from the transmitter. Only the power supply for the transmitter is included.

What is the purpose of the 'HDMI LOOP OUT' port on the transmitter?

The 'HDMI LOOP OUT' port on the transmitter allows you to connect a local monitor or display at the transmission source location, so you can see the video feed simultaneously while extending it to the receiver.

Troubleshooting

No video signal at the receiver

Ensure the CAT6 cable is securely connected at both the transmitter and receiver. Verify the source device is powered on and outputting an HDMI signal. Check that the transmitter is powered on. Try a different CAT6 cable.

KVM (keyboard/mouse) not working

Confirm that a USB A to A cable is correctly connected between the source device and the transmitter's USB ports. Ensure the keyboard and mouse are functional and connected to the receiver's USB ports. Verify the transmitter and receiver are powered.

Poor video quality or flickering

Use a high-quality CAT6 cable. Ensure the cable is not damaged and is within the 120m limit. Reduce the video resolution if necessary. Check for interference from other electronic devices.

Receiver unit is not powered

Verify that the transmitter unit is powered on, as the receiver gets power via PoE. Check the CAT6 cable connection between the transmitter and receiver.
