IP-based KVM extender for remote access

The STARTECH IH2006-KVM-EXTENDER lets operators control a host computer from a distant workstation over a standard TCP/IP network. A transmitter and receiver pair extend HDMI video, USB keyboard and mouse, RS-232 serial and analogue audio up to 4K 60Hz without installing drivers or management software. The kit suits IT administrators, industrial operators and broadcast teams who need secure, OS-agnostic remote access to a single system.

Network bandwidth and latency set practical limits

Extending 4K 60Hz over IP consumes significant network capacity and introduces latency that varies with switch quality, congestion and hop count. The receiver requires a wired Ethernet link; wireless or heavily shared segments will degrade frame delivery. Buyers who need uncompressed, sub-frame latency or must traverse congested Wi-Fi links should consider direct-attach extenders instead.

HDMI 2.0 input caps maximum resolution and refresh

The transmitter accepts a single HDMI 2.0 source, limiting the extended signal to 4K at 60 Hz with 4:4:4 colour sampling. Higher refresh rates, 5K timings or HDR metadata beyond the HDMI 2.0 specification cannot be transported. Verify the host GPU outputs HDMI 2.0 before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Should I choose a point-to-point or one-to-many setup for the IH2006-KVM-EXTENDER?

Start with point-to-point using the included transmitter and receiver; add extra receivers later to expand to one-to-many without replacing the kit.

What does 4K 60Hz mean when the extender is connected over my network?

The HDMI 2.0 link delivers 4K resolution at 60 Hz to the remote monitor with USB keyboard and mouse control, driverless on Windows, macOS or Linux.

How far can the HDMI and USB signals travel over the RJ-45 ports on this extender?

The transmitter and receiver connect via standard Ethernet cabling; the 10 W units support TCP/IP routing so distance follows your network infrastructure.
