4K single-head KVM extender receiver

The Vertiv Avocent LV5500R-400 receives keyboard, video and mouse signals over CATx or fiber links for remote workstation access. It supports 4096x2160 resolution at 60Hz through a DisplayPort input with local pass-through output. The unit operates at temperatures from 0°C to 40°C and stores safely between -10°C and 50°C.

Console connectors and cabling options

Four tri-color status LEDs give immediate link and power feedback at the receiver. Connections include two USB 2.0 Type B ports, analog line-in and line-out audio, an RJ12 serial port, plus both RJ45 and SFP+ ports for 5Gb/s CATx or 10Gb/s fiber transport. No drivers or on-site configuration are required for operation.

Video bandwidth and USB audio headroom

The adaptive compression engine delivers ultra-low latency 4K video streams within the 5Gb/s or 10Gb/s link budgets. USB audio handles up to two channels of 24-bit 96kHz PCM alongside standard HID traffic. Builders needing multi-head 4K or higher USB throughput should evaluate alternative extender models.

Questions about this item

Does the 12 VDC 18W power supply unit need periodic replacement?

The unit draws 12 VDC at 18 W from the supplied power supply; the adapter is a standard 100–240 VAC 47/63 Hz brick that can be swapped if it fails.

What limits the link distance when running 4096x2160 @ 60 Hz continuously?

Video is compressed for 5 Gb/s over CATx or 10 Gb/s over fiber; the first limit is the cable type and length you choose for that bandwidth.

How much heat does the receiver add to a rack running all day?

It consumes up to 18 W at 12 VDC, so the steady-state heat load is roughly 18 W with no internal fan.
